How is everybody today?

Quick question do you guys signal oncoming cars that there is a f'ing cop waiting around the corner?
I try to when I can. I find myself doing it a lot on my morning commutes.

Anyway my bikes are all packed up for a ride after work today. I've been feeling better and better everytime I ride..... it's like a f'ing drug sometimes.....


Hope ya all have a great day!

[Westy]

I try to warn people if there is a speed trap, accident or any other reason to slow down, I'll flash my fog lights so I don't freak anyone out with the high beams.

Today I have big plans of mowing my lawn, life is F'in great.

my window is open and there is some type of dwarf pair tree or something outside, the opening buds smell like sour milk. But the sun is nice and there is a cool breeze coming thru my window.

Air pressure should be about 75% of her weight. That fork also has coil spring for the initial travel, she may need a lighter weight spring.

You serviced it recently correct?

An '02 I think. The for has been recently lubed and had the oil changed.

Morning Monkeys.

I have Skookum's old fork on my bike now - but I need a low pressure fork pump to get it dialed in.

F'ing A

Life is hell right now. Working 40 hours a week, dragging large metal objects through the dirt another 50 hours a week. I don't have time to take a crap.

On a side note, I caught 28 Largemouth Bass Sunday, cousin found a 2 lbs of morel mushrooms, had a f'ing feast.

so I'll just replace the spring when I do it.
Damn..... that means her bike will be down for a few days.

There was several others that wanted to ride stewart/sta too!

and yes I am planning to racing the darkhorse

 

[douglas]

I know there are pleanty of others.... it's actually pretty sweet there right now.

Mornin Stosh.

On the highway I will signal other cars if there is a cop. I don't much care if people sped on highways, so I try to give them the heads-up. However, in residential areas, I DO NOT signal - if you speed in a residential area, you deserve a ticket. It's just waaay to common to have little kids playing in the front yard... and while it ultimately is up to the parents to make sure their kids stay away from the street... you should also be responsible enough as a drive not to speed where kids might be.

Good to hear that your riding again. I assume you got your bike? How are you liking it? Any pics? I totally know what you mean about the drug analogy - I'm definitely going through withdrawl right now

Went over the the LBS yesterday on my lunch to drop of a couple of wheels that needed some attention. They guy (who I know and who I ride with) asked me if I was doing any freeriding on the wheels - guess I'm harder on them than I thought. While I was there, I decide to take a spin on a steel Jamis CX bike... man did that thing feel good. I've also got a potential line on a sweet used road bike... just not sure if my financial advisory is going to be able to find room in my budget for it. If not... that Jamis might be at the top of my list, especially with my bday being next month an all.

 

[binary visions]

what's up dude?

Meh, just one of those days. F'ing work. Nothing major.

And yes, I signal oncoming cars if there's a cop lying in wait. Not usually if the cop is driving, but if he's just sitting there stalking speeders, I flash my lights.

 

[mrbigisbudgood]

So how's the farm thing going?

Lots of work.

Highly profitable.

I'm having a mental problem with taking pics of my bikes/rides. I dont' think that any pic I could take of my bike would justify it.

Wow, highly profitable huh.......?

Wouldn't have left Virginia if it wasn't.

[narlus]

ate a ton of sushi last night (too many rolls, but hey i didn't pay).

 

[TreeSaw]

Morning! Beautiful day here. Just opened up a couple of windows and the screen door so my kitty could bask in the sunlight and leave me alone. He's being crazy today...following me everywhere, whacking me with his paw when I stop petting him. I think he may be a little spoiled

Last night we did an awesome fast lap at Skidmore. Sq-Earl was surprised I went as fast as I did, and virtually without stops. I managed to get through a fun log ride too (at the end of our new beginner trail) on my first try.

Now I am getting ready to head outside and clean up the yard a little as I do some bike laundry. Busy day around the house I guess.

 

[I Are Baboon]

Hey kids. Into work late today after a three day weekend. I think every weekend needs to be three days. I took my car in for routine service this morning. Exciting stuff, eh?

Wifey and I did a short road ride last night. She is still adjusting to early season saddle-sore, so we kept the ride short. Gym tonight, hockey tomorrow, ride Thursday.

 

[MMcG]

Treesaw - you are going to kick major ass at Dalton - I can tell!

 

[TreeSaw]

Yeah, I would like to road trip! I'm always in for some sweet trails!

So what exactly do you mean by "clean up the yard a little"? Help a yard newbie out. I need to do some yard cleanup too, but I've been ditiching it to ride instead. I'm thinking cleanup leaves leftover from last fall, pick up sticks and twigs, rake up pine needles, and give the lawn its first mow of the season.

 

[TreeSaw]

hey did you plan your deck party yet?

It's probably going to be August 13/14 or 19/20. We're trying to nail down the date this week. You thinking of making it this year
