I knew it was coming, so I looked down...

You may not have any more luck left, you may have used it all doing that...

I love it. Somewhere I have a blurry pic of 666. It seems to fit my bike. In one week: I filled up with gas and it was $6.66 (no help from me), had a black cat purr and rub up against the tires and not get spooked whenI started her, and had a white cat later that night commit suicide under the front wheel.

When the odometer nears all 3s, set the trip meter in time to turn up 3s as well.

You, like, expect Math, don't ya...

"meatwagon; I knew it was coming too so I whipped out..."

It's bad enough, other guys are whipping things out, while riding, but you expect Math, at the Ton too?

Hey Meatwagon, that speedo looks pretty high to be fumbling around with a camera . . . or do you have one of those helmetcams I've been reading about?
