I checked on snopes, and yes ABS is for Sissies.

Sunbeem, Yep, I said it that way, good catch. When others use that type terminology, I often catch it. It is so much harder to "hear" ones own words in a critical light. Or, in this case a literal light.

Now the 12 month old YSS shock needs warranty repairs as a seal has blown and there is oil all over the shaft/swing arm.

Some times it seems that every week I have the replace or repair something. :cry:

Not as much as this guy's 300 foot ferry owes him.

Man finds it difficult to sell 300-foot NYC ferry
