So he leaves, 15 minutes later Christian (the kid with the KX) calls me and tells me to come pick Sean up, his 144 blew up again. I lawled so hard. So we pick him up, of course he barely even cares because he'll get a new bike in a week from his grandmom, and we get his bike home, at which time Christian and Sean smoke a whole bunch of weed and we start taking the KTM apart for no reason. We get the whole thing apart, put all the powervalve parts in a cup, and I ask Christian if he has any idea how it goes back together because it looks pretty complicated and there's a bunch of small parts.
