Dropped!

[themmd]

I'm really surprised someone hasn't jumped in with; "I've been riding for a hundred years and I've never dropped a bike..blah..blah...blah. Always figured those folks put 90 miles on their bikes in those hundred years...

Me, I've dropped my bikes more times than I can remember. I really think folks when they get a new bike should just take it out to a nice soft grassy place and push it over so they can get the whole issue out of the way. Eliminates a lot of the suspense on when it is going to happen.

At bike night some guy , after several beers I'm sure , decided when he left to show off a little bit . Keep in mind at this bike night place their is a ruff crowd so their are 2 deputy sheriff's on duty at all times . He took off and really hit it hard burning rubber and going like he stole it , he lost control and slide about 50' on the pavement . The deputies just told a couple guys to help him pick it up and park it until the next day and this happed in front of about 300 people .

..... This brings up a good question, what is a good lube for the jiffy stand?[/QUOTE]

Just ordinary general purpose grease is what I used. Manual mentions wheel bearing grease

White Lithium Grease works good

Most importantly on the stand you want a grease that will not wash out. Wheel bearing grease would work.
