Just one.

Had one shear today on the road and now am at a literal stand still. I can order one from the dealer but I'm looking at a weekend of downtime and no vehicle.

Anyone have one I can "borrow" and replace early next week? If you drop it off, I'll buy dinner/lunch/whatever. Time is of the essence, of course.

Akebono calipers if it makes a difference.

Alright, I've got the bolt just no way to get it. Anyone going to be down in Costa Misery in the morning? I'm hoping to beg a Rollins to my house in Tustin Ranch shuttle. Breakfast or lunch on me.

I have a used one from Teves calipers and might be able to detour on the way to work & drop it off in the morning.

Fat Ass!

You know I'd be there if you wern't so damn far away.

How about an MTA Bus, even though a road bike might be faster.

My road bike would be faster, but I've got work to do manana, Jeff.

Scott,

Thanks for the offer. It looks like Jon is going to run one by on his way to work, so I should be set.

Thanks again for the offer, though. I owe you a lunch just for the offer alone.

Thanks Andy, but I picked on up on the way home on the tow truck.

Here is the part of the story I didn't mention, and perhaps the best part.

I was rollin' deep in the hood (Bristol and McFadden in Santa Ana), on my way to Burrell's BBQ (the best bbq in OC) and I hit a bump and "PING".

I looked over to the passenger side to see a woman on the corner duck...

I guess my bolt head went to brain the chick. I almost had snuff film on my hands.

It was rich.

Would have been hilarious if someone shot back? :D

Grant,

It looks like I will be doing a Bonzai Run to Dana Point here in a little bit from Compton.

Did all your arrangements work out or do you still need some assistance?

Looks like all systems are go on my end, but thanks for the offer. Just got back to the house a little bit ago and Jon was a stud and dropped it off.

Grant, the bolt is sitting on your front door.

Haven't been to Burrell's Rib Cage in a long time, does his current location have room to host the next M&G? <homer>mmmmm riiiibs </homer>

He's still in the same old location in Santa Ana, in a converted house on a residential street.

M&G would be fine at say... noon on a Saturday, but at night I'm guessing that neighborhood has a little bit different feel. Fred has had a bullet hole in his front window for a few years now...

Leave 'em on your door step, I'm swinging by today after I get back from Carson.

Relax there, Sunshine.
