 If you are riding and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast. |

I've had two petcocks fail in the last year. It's not a big deal, but is annoying. I also had to replace my final drive because of the inept person that worked on the cycle before I bought it.

1: My clock has gained about 10 minutes .... As you travel faster and faster, time dilation causes you to experience time at a slower rate. Some of the Skylab astronauts were estimated to be several seconds younger than they would have been otherwise. The Valkyrie engineers are very smart people and knew the speed induced time dilation would be a problem on a bike like the Valkyrie, so they designed the clock to gain speed to offset the expected effects. If your clock appears to be gaining time, you need to ride faster. |
