When you come to a stop, make sure to put at least one foot down. And if its only one foot, kinda lean in THAT direction.

Brilliant. I know.

Carrying a pair of tire spoons has saved me numerous times on the road and on the trail where changing out the tube was necessary or even patching the tube. Learning to change your own tire is also key since it allows you to ensure you have the right wrenches and tools to remove the wheel.
Zip ties are also an invaluable item to carry especially if your ride has a lot of body panels.

Better there than in downtown Columbus. I watched a cruiser pull up to a light and forget to put a foot down in West Jefferson. No injury other than his pride.

at least for me, the chain is better to be "too loose" than "too tight" and i'll soon have a hefty service bill to prove it.

More exactly it should only be tight when the suspension is fully compressed.

basically if its too tight when the suspension is compressed the chain is too tight overall.
