I would have went with, 'I meant to type 1320, but spaced and hit "7" instead of "2"' and no one would have been the wiser.

Too late now though.

Don't blame yourself, blame your measurement system. METRIC is way easier! 1/4 KM = 250 metres, 1/2 KM = 500 metres, 1 KM = 1000 metres.

(insert metric sucks jokes here)

Not from me... I wish the US would get with the program and go metric. (We were supposed to back in the 80's - but the plan fell thru.) It's a more sensible system.

Nah, with the banner week I've been having, I'm surprise I even got close.

Besides, I have a laptop, physically impossible to screw it up that bad. And FWIW I own no inchical tools. Everything I have is metric, let me tell you how much of a pisser it was to find an allen key to fit the bolts for my flyscreen (Buell).

Find one that's close and wrap a piece of tape around it.

For sockets that are close, but not quite, a bit of rag over the bolt/nut will usually do the trick... that's what I did as a kid when I got my first bike (a Suzuki) and my dad only had SAE tools.

Or just vise-grip the shit out of it 'til its round like I've done to my oil plug!
