yesterday I changed the oil on my bike. I had been putting off doing it because my dad said we would do it together, and seeing as I had never done it before, he’d be showing me how. Buuut he’s still not bought any oil and I’ve reached 1600 miles now so it really needed changing.
Dead proud of myself for getting the right oil. Not denying here that I am a complete novice at this stuff.
It was simple enough anyway - just undoing a nut underneath, letting it drain, then pouring more in.
I also had to tighten my chain up for the 3rd time. I don’t understand why that thing keeps getting slack? I guess it happens over time but really, 3 times before 1600 miles?
I can’t wait until I’ve paid this thing in full and get something bigger.
before i forget.
we went to the store.
and i told the cashier that snug gets confused sometimes and thinks he’s english. (he is)
and she was like, wait you’re both american?! and i was like yeah, his accent is really good, isn’t it?
and she asked why we moved here from america.
and i looked down in my basket at snug’s cheese hunk that was there.
and i told her we moved here because of the cheese. because all cheese in america is orange and terrible.
and she believed me.
ohmygod.
I will never be able to show my face in Spar again.
I cant wait to pass my test and get a bigger bike… Maybe then my dad will invite me on rides out :/
