Fucking up all the time.

Was working on my tricycle the other day and my drunk ass managed to remove the back wheels from the rest of the frame which I didn't even know I could do. Holy shit I was trying to install a seat! That's it!
Trying to decide if it's worth attempting to fix since I bent some metal. How the fuck do people work on cars? I can't fiddle with my bike without fucking everything up.

I did the same thing working on a washing machine that needed a new belt. On the third attempt I got it right.

Jesus just ask me not to breathe oxygen. Jk lesson learned.
I have a good friend coming to help me look at it. If he can't teach me a thing or two I'll buy a new one (this ride is practically antique) for 180 bux
I like my tricycle for a short break from the wretched inescapable prison of parenthood that I occasionally get.

I'm awesome at building and repairing most things. Pretty good at cars and bikes once I know what the problem is. Diagnosing cars can be a little tricky for me.
If you're not good at repairing things then watch a couple youtube videos before you attempt anything.

How drunk were you!? You took off the wheels trying to put on a new seat? You had to have been fucked up, especially since you bent something. Bicycles is easy man, just beat that fucker back into shape with a hammer.
Unless you know what you're doing, I don't recommend drinking when you're working on shit anymore, especially your car. There's nothing like royally fucking up your car. You can go from a cheap fix, to an expensive project or hospital visit really fast.

Are we talking a tricycle motorcycle?
I find being drunk around tools is not a good idea. Busted knuckles all around.

Nice set of wheels you have.
You know they make these for adults too right? Looks like this https://bikehistory.org/catalogs/images/1980_schwinn_town_country.jpg
You don't....ACTUALLY pay for gasoline and insurance right? What a racket

Dont worry your not alone.
I fucked up my ebike the first 10 minutes of riding.
Then road it without the pedal chain trying to climb my driveway I stripped out the planetary gears I think.
I have it in the shop now.
Agh.

Stupid fucking screw wasn't adjusted right so when I tried downshifting to 1st gear the derailer went to close to the spokes and the motor engaged as soon as the chain jumped off and grabbed my spokes ripping the hanger for the derailer off the frame.

they told me I should have had a bike tech go over everything first.
It would have been nice if they told me that before my accident.
They mailed me a new hanger yesterday. I'm buying a new derailer for $25. The old one was destroyed.
And hopefully the motor can be fixed with a new $20 gear. This was a seperate accident. The motor works okay but on take off you can hear it clicking and slipping sometimes.
Now that I know what not to do it should be fine by next weekend just like new again.
They are really fun to ride.
I have mine @ ebikes of Colorado in Louisville getting worked on. If you go there they have like 200 ebikes and they have all sorts of bikes you can ride for free for test drives.
Right next to their shop is a bike/running trail they will let you take the test bikes on.
Really fun thing to do that cost no money.
The fold up bike was really fun to ride.
Their bikes cut off & 20mph tho where mine will reach 30+mph
