I do not have the XL double top tube Pashley Guv'nor yet. Yes, those are some conversions to mid-drive torque sensor bikes. Except for the chopper. That is a BBS02 that the guy purchased and then threw in the towel and had me do it. For a dumb Bafang it turned out fairly clean. My favorite is...

Check out these bars.

I have observed that a seat post is the diameter of a shotgun shell.

The Berlin Wall was promoted as keeping out Western Corruption. Who got kept in? I suspect this is the wall memorial. In Rapture, Blondie says, 'Now he even eats guitars', like licking an ecstatic kitten, and also plays them upside down and backwards behind his head. 'Where you goanna go Joe?'...

ICE wanted to raid Dodge Stadium today and got booted. Brown people have been speaking Spanish in LA since before there was a USA. I love it. Then a young singer sang Roosevelt's Spanish language National Anthem on No Kings Day and everyone cheered. A lot of brown people who speak Spanish play...

The odds of my still being alive are far fetched. I have done so many dumb things and had so many close calls. I don't think my frontal lobes gelled to the maturity level matching a 17-year-old girl until I was about 52. I talked in Just for fun about the fat folder joke bike. To make it go...

I have used bio-diesel to do things such as clean chainsaw parts. Now with bikes I can buy gallon jugs of the stuff restaurants use to clean fryers. An orange peal contains VOCs. Try squeezing one into a flame.

Mac Fox bikes are 5HIT bikes. It costs more to make safe in 6-weeks than the initial cost of the bike. Parents are not checking the brakes. The rear right adjustment (key) is blocked by the motor. Kids are riding with no brakes unlocked junk bikes with flipped brakes for throttle wheelies...

I love steel bikes. I did this Big Dummy mid-drive conversion in 2019. The first thing he did was to load it with two 50-pound bags of dog food and take it to the top of Mount Tam. The other is an all Reynolds 631 English GRX Gravel Bike with a fully programable DM02. It is a Pashley Prospero...

Athens was an underground highly curated college radio incubator. Dick Dale used extra thick stings to make his near east-sounds extra-tight. @Catalyzt can explain more as a suffer and guitarist. The Zoroastrian music flow follows deep with natural patterns. These tap and reflect natural...

Just for fun, at the beginning of the pandemic in about March 2020, I made a joke bike. There was this ugly, heavy, orange, fat-folder, hub-motor, PAS, throttle-bike. First I removed the throttle. Then I removed the right crank and the PAS plastic wheel of magnets and reversed it, flipping its...

Did New England prisoners really eat lobster in colonial times? Legend has it the crustacean was once so plentiful — and held in such low esteem — that it was served as prison food. But is that true...

Use them. They can be lightly sanded first. Make sure there are no oils. Then bed them by getting up to speed and pumping the brakes hard but not to a full stop.

I adore BBQ fresh Cape Cod clams. A little sourdough toast, melted butter, with herbs is all you need. There is another, it is a sea bug that was once banned from prisons in Bean-Town.

Did the Secretary of Homeland Security have an allergic reaction to collagen injections? Or was it tinted contacts? "Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was transported by ambulance on Tuesday to a hospital in Washington, DC, after an allergic reaction." Christians do like Christ, they...

In ancient Rome there was the open hand solute and both comings and goings were acknowledged. They had the symbolic equivalent of Aloha on most portals and gateways. It was called a Janis. Twin heads pointed in opposite directions with its origins in the twins Epimetheus and Prometheus. We don't...

I was still getting bubbles out of the chain after two hours. That means the wax is going in. I was dumb and didn't attach something like a homemade spoke hanger hook in the middle of the chain. It is hot as hell and slippery as an eel to take out and if it whips you will get burned and ruin...

I purchased a designated small crock-pot. A degreased new chain is hanging to dry in the sun. I also got a big bag of bio-degradable soy wax pellets, used for making candles. The wax just finished melting in the pot. Then I will immerse the new chain in it. I will install it with a new cassette...

I go to a place called Groc-Out. Actually its Grocery Outlet. I can buy stuff like a 30 cm across wheel of brae for $6.00. A five pack of tooth brushes is $3. I always park just inside the front door. Once on vacation I sent a postcard addressed to Groc-Out and they got it. It is one of those...

I would not feel so all alone; everybody must get laminated.
