Why
am I carrying this stuff? First off, it has and incredible reputation for making
emergency repairs and getting riders home. Cheap insurance? In some cases it's
very cheap insurance.
DO NOT LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!!! REALLY!! Don't go anywhere!!
My first use of the J-B Weld
STIK was in the Alcan 5000 Road Rally in 2006. I was the last man out of the
woods and headed to a gas station for the last fill up of the day. This was a
700 mile day and I had 200 miles left to go. I pulled up to the pump, filled the
10 gallon tank on my bike, close the gas cap, and pushed the bike off the center
stand. Being tired and all, I just didn't support the bike properly and over she
went. This happened in sssllllllooooowwww mmmooooottttiiiioooonnnn. The pretty
carbon fiber valve cover cracked in three places and spewed oil all over the
place. Good thing the sweep truck was a mile back. They pulled into the station
and we tried a quick fix. I got back onto the bike and rode about 1/2 mile. I
looked down at the valve cover and the oil was spraying out all over the road
and on my boots and pants. 
This is not good... Oh Mr. Support Truck, please help!!! Again,
the incredible support staff came zooming up behind me and we proceeded to load
my gorgeous BMW 1150GS HP1 Project bike onto a rack. ;( This sucked...)
The
next morning came and I went outside to have a better look at the damage. I
removed the stupid little BMW head guard and found that the pretty carbon fiber
valve cover was cracked in 3 places. Crap...Support from the other riders was
overwhelming. Another rider suggested the
J-B WELD STIK and threw one over
to me. I scammed some baby wipes from a local mommy and cleaned the infected
area thoroughly. According to the instructions, you kneed the required
amount in your hands and apply to the affected area. Wait about 30 minutes and
move on. Hopefully it works. Well, as you can see by my handy work, I did a very
professional job indeed. Regardless of how this looked, it held tightly for
another 3000 miles. I didn't even add another drop of oil for the whole ride!
This J-B WELD stuff saved my
ride of a lifetime. I still have the remaining part of the stick and never
really was able to properly thanks the guy who gave it to me. Whomever you are,
I owe you a tall cold one for sure!!
