Sort of similar story for me, although not with one of these spare wrenches. I installed a new steering damper on a 2014 Ducati 899. I wasn’t able to get enough clearance for the torque wrench when installing it, so I used an extender. I don’t know what exactly happened, but I ended up stripping the bolt. At least it’s torqued correctly for now, and as an added bonus, with blue loctite! I feel bad for the next guy who’s going to have to replace that steering damper next. It’s probably going to be me, so fuck me. In actuality, it’s likely going to involve replacing that entire steering column…Fuuuuuck
It already takes me 15 minutes to brew about 10 cups of coffee for myself.

Nostalgia I guess? These games were terrible and always a rent from Blockbuster for the weekend type jam and be glad you didn’t spend money on actually owning them.

You see all of those “Like” buttons on non-Facebook websites? Those are cookies that are essentially tracking you.

I like you, you’re a good human. Saving this for if/when it needs to be replaced in the future.
