+1 You are playing the game (of "Life") right when the Fun/BS Ratio is high.
And 11,000 miles and 14,000 posts sounds like good Fun points to me.

Good job.
Aren't shop assistants great. Mine is also really agreeable

Update! My rear brake is pulsating pretty bad now. As I come to a stop now the last 20 feet gives you a surge in the brake. I think the disc is warped. Anyone got one laying around? Where is a good link to get a new one. I must have heated the thing up too much when I tried the home method of grinding/sanding. I guess not everything works out as planned. But this is changing the way I split the breaking and I don't want to unlearn a bad habit. Any thoughts? Links to a new disc? Thanks guys.
