Default My amazing wristwatch

Sunday morning I realized my watch was missing. I looked everywhere for it, or so I thought. I found it here an hour ago:

I forgot I had put it there when I was working on my wife's Bandit. she has put 500 miles on the motorcycle since I hung the watch there. I'm amazed that with all the bumpy roads she has to endure on her commute that it didn't bounce to the end an fall off.

I'm so relieved as it is the best watch I've ever owned! I've had it for ten years, but most watches I've had only last about three. The watch has been discontinued, but I discovered there are a few places that still have it in stock. If anyone wants a lightweight and sturdy watch that cannot get lost here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000643Q8/ref=ox... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000643Q8/ref=ox...

You are a lucky dude. I think you need to go to Vegas, or at least get some lottery tickets. Do it before your luck runs out.

If you hit it big, please share with me. 10% as a consulting fee would be acceptable.

It's amazing that it stayed put for so long. I guess the knurled texture on top of the brake pedal helped keep it in place.

She actually has an unnatural aversion to using the rear brake, so her foot definitely wasn't holding it in place. I turns out I was wrong about the 500 miles. She only put on 250 miles this week.
