Yesterday:

Managed to repair Lenin's broken-off turn signal mount, Re-attach the rear trunk mounts, checked over the filters, adjusted the brake tension, and mounted up to go deal with the tire pressure.

Only to have the tension cable for the rear brakes snap off at the handle. SEE MY FROTHY RAGE.

No rear brakes= no way I'm going to be riding until I can afford the money for a tune-up now. Jesus fucking Christ.

You *use* the back brakes?

*DUH!* Of course I do. How else does one execute a perfect spin on the front wheel to slam the back end of the bike into the faces of several ninjas at once?

Uhm... if you're spinning on the front wheels shouldn't you use the front brake?

No- it's to lock the rear tire solid- higher level of impact when it hits the ninja in the face.

Use the axle for solid steel impact.
