What a way to start the day. Had a spare, so it added a few minutes to my morning. Carefully cleaned the dust from around the plug, swapped, started and rode.

NBD, but what the fuck?

The rumor I’ve heard is that if they break just right you can smoke certain substances out of them. No idea if it’s actually true.

I’ve also heard people use them to break car windows. Same principle as a glass breaker, but you can hide it more easily, and if the cops find it you can always lie that you’re going to a shop to buy a replacement.

That’s it. I have a friend that worked in a bike shop, they called it a ‘Crack Attack’. His shop specialized in airhead BMW repairs, the spark plugs are easily accessible on those. Usually some of the cooling fins ended up broken.
