    Yeah got those out, but now I have this bald spot that my wife tries to get me to comb over. Thankfully, once my hair grows back there no scars will be visible.

    Yeah, but scars are cool! And scars on your head are SUPER cool!

    Wow. Glad to see you aren't brain dead.

    Is there a new policy at work now that you have to gear up to test out the customer bikes?

    Parts are out there, you just have to do some digging. We should have been gearing up all along. It's weird, I usually won't get on a bike without all my gear on, but when we're at work we would just jump on and do test rides. Bad, bad habit

    So how did the customer take the news and how did the business handle that?

    The customer was really understanding, but he got the bike bike in a little better shape than when he dropped it off. We have plenty of insurance for things like this so there wasn't a problem there. It was mainly a big wake up call about techs doing quick, no gear test rides.
