It's not like he knocked over a bunch of Harleys being driven by rabid biker gangs.Originally Posted by Machismo

My turn. I noticed a rubbing sound coming from the back wheels when I pulled in to the parking lot at work this morning. I got home today, jacked the car up to pull the rear wheels and investigate. I got the car up in the air and the lugs were probably less than finger tight. It seems I forgot to torque the lugs after I swapped my race tires for my street tires. I put them on with my 'heavy duty' 7.2V cordless drill which is probably good for 5 or 10 lbs. of torque tops. doh!Anyway, have a laugh on me today. I did.
I'm NOT at liberty to say.

Been there, done that, twice...My turn. I noticed a rubbing sound coming from the back wheels when I pulled in to the parking lot at work this morning.

On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

So does it count if the error involved the loose nut behind the wheel?
I just hope the car behind me at the light was piloted by a cyclist who could at least enjoy the comic nature of my dismount... Tip... If you decide you want to unclip by swinging your heel INSIDE, make very sure that you don't then wedge your heel between the rear tire and frame... Amazingly, I did NOT technically fall. My left foot instinctively unclipped, but I very nearly did a split when my cleat hit the slicker paving in the middle of the lane... And thus the lovely tattoo...
The funniest part was realizing that there was NOT a convertible full of inebriated cheerleaders, so I was NOT going to impact the pavement... The least funny part was the perceived 6 minutes it took between knowing Something Bad™ was about to happen and regaining composure...
Two traffic lights later, though, I did get a compliment on the cool tattoo... Wasn't feeling brave enough to turn and look to see if they were being sarcastic... Just assumed they were...
