Where do all the tool kits go?
« on: January 13, 2010, 10:33:17 PM »
  My kids got me the missing tools for my birthday so I have a nice set now but there are seven bikes here and only one still had some tools in it. ??? WTF? Even the low miles F that was never worked on is missing the kit. Are there tool gremlins out collecting them? Maybe it's that ass rape fairy I keep hearing about.

I hate that fairy! He keeps moving parts and tools on me when I'm working on my bike. He even hides things! Drives me crazy. Oops, sorry for the hijack.

A lot of people bought the bikes with the tool kits, looked at the kit, looked at their big toolboxes, and said "We don't need this crap, the metal's inferior, the little wrenches round things off worse than anything... Bah!" and they just threw them away.  ...even though the likelyhood of them having their full toolboxes with them on the side of the road were slim...

When I got my first one I only had a few tools at home and I used the heck out of the kits Kit. That funny right?
