In a relative sense, mind you. I could be much worse off right now, but honestly, I don't care too much.
See, I just spent a bit of time looking for my romic and a rocker arm that, apperently, are far far away from where they're supposed to be. I bent my mountain hardware on my romic (I ride a transistion dirtbag) and had the swing arms pulled off of the bike. Because the mounting hardware was bent, I had to really put some force into the thing to get it seperated from my swing arms. Anyway, that was a week ago.
I live with my parents. I'm doing community college and then jumping away after two years and a stable income go by. I have a spot in the garage where I put my bike parts. I put my romic and one swing arm there (I kept the other on the bike with all of the bolts in it, as to not loose the bolts).
I got back from work today to find a note on my bed from my dad. Apperently my mom has been throwing things away. She's been throwing away my dad's tools, some of my kiting supplies, and a bunch of random stuff. Apperently radiation treatment does a lot of crazy crap to you.
So I go down to check for my romic and swing arm. Not there. Shizzle. She's been throwing things away, right? So I go and check the trashcan.
Nothing.
Literally. Trash day was yesterday. I talked to my mom about it and she said that she moved it. Seeing as it's definently no where close to where she said she moved it, I have a feeling it was in the trash can. Crap.
So here I am, without my romic. Now I've got some mounting hardware comming in the mail for a shock that really doesn't exist anymore. Not to mention, I only have one of the Dangerboy rocker arms for my dirt bag -- that went out with the trash too. From what I've heard, they don't make those anymore. Talk about black comedy.
I am college student. I'm trying to save money for the future and for a whistler trip in the summer. I simply can't afford this. I just dropped loads on a new fork and now I've got to drop 200+ on a new rear setup.
I'm lucky that I play the drums. Somehow, hitting things really hard helps you get all of that energy out of you.
Anyone else hit a bump like this? I can tell you that it sucks, but it'd be nice to hear some worse stories.
