Well, you don't make me feel good about it AT ALL
I'm a spirited amateur driver

I knew mine was a refurbished one. Maybe not very good to start with. It's on its way to the builder for repair under warranty.
I first blamed it on my novice habits (though I have been shifting gears all my life). However, when I noticed the gears would pop out by themselves, I started wondering about their integrity.
If I have to start over, I'll get an all aluminum from Kees in San Antonio.
