So, bikes are really kept upright by the Tacoscoptic precession? That would explain why my bike wants to automatically turn into Taco He11 when I ride by one on a tour. What else don't 'THEY' want you to know???

I've seen some wheels that were actually taco-shell shaped, but I prefer the phrase, "bent horribly" with fire sauce....
Try mine on for size, buddy.

Cause when it is bent in half it looks like a taco shell and every biker loves the ubiquitous post ride mexican feast.
