so I took the opportunity to hit the road via motorcycle for a brief stint. Of course I had left the petcock in the “drain all the fuel into the crankcase” position yet AGAIN, I had to change the oil first. That sucks. Back pain also sucks, as do many other things; however:

The moment when you sit upright, between a left curve, and a right curve? that millisecond when you lean back the other way and don’t know if you’ve gone too far or not far enough, and then the tires bite and you roll the throttle on? that utterly does not suck.
