If you are hungover, stay away from your bike!!

I attended my work xmas party on Friday night & had way to much to drink. The only job I had planned for Saturday was to fit my rear wheel after having the tire changed earlier in the week. I also greased up my shock linkages & torqued everything up while I had the wheel out of the way. Anyway, to make a long story short, a spacer fell out of the wheel in my car and I never noticed when I was putting it back on. I went for a quick ride to test out my new tire when I had finished & after about 2 or 3 miles of riding, the bearing collapsed due to the pressure. Luckily, despite a quiet scary tank slapper, I didn't go down & learned a valuable lesson to say the least.
