Hey KenM.: Put this in your pipe and smoke it: Go Team EBR! Allen

An excellent idea J.R. I'll be putting the Hakkapelliitas and Bar Mits on the Grey Ghost this Fall. So even when Winter comes to New England, I will be eBike commuting in to work whenever I can. Just think of the pictures we could post! Go Team EBR! Allen

Well my Mom has always said that I'm special, but I kinda' thought she meant short-bus special. Go Team EBR! Allen

Greetings Grench: I'm not being unfriendly. I just don't know how to make you my friend in Map My Ride. We'll get this done though. I'm not too hip on the whole social media thing. Go Team EBR! Allen

No problem KenM.: It was getting kinda' cold up here on the summit of Olympus anyway. Go Team EBR! Allen

Hey Grench: Actually the Mac mantra is shut it down and start it up again. (I've done around 15,000 Mac repairs and I bet I've nailed at least 1,000 of them with that strategy). Anyway, no need to reinstall; the elevation plot seems to be working now. Check out my commute home from work...

Hey Grench: Since you showed me yours, I'll show you mine (mileage display that is). I also have a technical question about Map My Ride. I got it and it rocks, but I've used it twice and my maps don't display an elevation graph, just speed. Will that be fixed if I pony up the $29.95 annual...

Hello again Erik: Here's a picture of the Grey Ghost for your delectation. Allen

Welcome Erik: I don't think you'll be at all disappointed in the Optibike 29-er. Their other bikes are as ugly as homemade sin, except the one I bought, the (relatively) inexpensive Pioneer Allroad. I've only put 1,200 or so miles on the Grey Ghost, but it's been super-reliable and is as...

Probably better without the logo. Not so tempting for thieves? Even when it's sunny, I'm tempted to leave it on when I park my whip outside at work. The birdies seem to love to sh** on it. Allen

Quite a bit more than that Grench. Although I ran studded snows last Winter, most of my miles have been on the CSTs that the Grey Ghost was built with. They probably have at least 1,000 miles on them. I've got a pair of Schwalbe Marathon+ tires in my living room. I keep putting off putting them...

That can't be me Ken. First off, I don't have a third-of-a-million dollar house anymore. (My former wife needed it more than I did.) Second the snow was way deeper here two-and-half-months ago. Third, I've never had a lawn that green. Go Team EBR! Allen

Ruh, roh. Here comes Ravi, one of those young bucks. FWIW Ravi, the last time I rode a century was in the previous century. All kidding aside, welcome to Team EBR. And yeah, log your miles in manually; that works albeit slowly. The NBC website is a POS. Go Team EBR! Allen

Yeah J.R. I was wondering what this meant too. And Greg, my Allroad was delayed when it got to Long Beach, but I can hardly remember all that crap. Good things are worth waiting for. And the Allroad has turned out to be a very good thing indeed. Allen

Go Brambor: First yur our Captain and now Platinum. Do we have to salute when we see you passing us by? Will you still deign to talk to the little people? My former wife, children, and grandchildren are in Cushing (Maine) this week. Lot of good memories from mid-coast Maine. (Popsicles™ from...

Hey Ken M: Dude, I was just funning with you. No apologies are needed nor expected. Sometimes folks don't know when I'm kidding, and the problem is even worse on the internets, where my correspondents can't see my tongue firmly jammed in my cheek. And for heaven's sake, don't worry. You...

Hey Ken M: I only have six things to say to you: • The Grey Ghost is "only" ten months old. • I do get out of the cottage; I'm a workin' man, not a retiree. Not all of us can trip the light fantastic like you brother. • Two-and-a-half months ago, I think there was still snow in my yard...

Thanks Grench. I went back and fixed my post. Allen

Hey Greg A: A few posts back you asked about the short fenders and rear rack on my Allroad aka the Grey Ghost. They're the Sodapop fenders from Portland Design Works. I'm not sure if they would have enough coverage for riding in Seattle. They are working fine for me here in Connecticut but I...

Those are the babies. You should have seen the one that got away (after it picked up the bridge halves). That was a really big Tonka™ Toy. (I thought it was gonna' pick up those two and throw them back in the river so they could grow another year!) Go Team EBR! Allen
