NO!! The bike now needs a complete overhaul. Every thing's out of wack (yes, wack is a technical term)

I felt a quick 2-4 second jolt here in anaheim hills

5.5 epicenter around ludlow, ca https://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Q...ci14408052.htm seems like there are several small aftershocks until now according to the site.

Bikes: in my sig line

Gosh, am I the only dork who goes to the "Did You Feel It?" site and fills in the blanks?

Slight jerk to start, slow, somewhat jerky rolling motion, about 15-20 seconds (I have hanging things on my computer desk's hutch, and I watched those swaying).

Yup! I felt a 20 second rolling and swaying lites.

I didn't want to respond to the "how big was it, I didn't feel anything post!"...Those words scare me!
