Has to be italian.

0 mile RC51.

I'm glad you still kept us around.

Getting off of social media all together was a very nice change!

Finally got a under 30 minute 5k on the treadmill.

The world is a better place when you turn off the "news" and just live your life.

Installed some Woodcraft frame sliders and a ASV clutch lever. The eBay seller sent me the wrong brake lever.

That’s like asking the Jiffy Lube guy to help rebuild an engine.

So do the KKK marches that are actors paid by Soros to make it appear that Trump is aligned with those groups.

Road the bike to IMS Friday then upgraded the front brake line to braided. I think I have it bled well. Next is to do the same to the rear.

Fuckin blast, bubbys!

The resist movement is quite similar to a toddler candy aisle temper tantrum.

Holy shit homie. Some of my college papers weren't even that long.

I wouldn't call him "racist" as that term is so misused and totally mistaken these days, but he most certainly showed racial bias in "many situations" and has quite the devotion to the multiple versions of Islam. He did more damage overall to the African American community than we can even imagine, and he had one of the most amazing opportunities in the history of this country to help smooth things over from past transgressions. I guess I will call him a race baiter more than anything else, but of course that is the platform for the DNC anyways. We witnessed mental slavery for a long 8 years at an unprecedented level, and we ALL were affected by that and still fighting that fight.

I really havent heard anything from Trump to lead me to think he is racist. However the previous POTUS showed his racism blatantly throughout his 8 years.

Yeah, not going to happen. Even most of the Republican party hate him. We need a president that can be respected and respectful. Trump is not that man. (Leaving thread before I have to lose respect for more people.)

rocker assemblies from something or other will work fine with the head. the head itself is stock, with just oversize valves and beehive springs good for far more lift than the current camshafts are capable of. got enough bits to put a clutch and primary drive together: and an electronic ignition module to fit alongside the early battery box. i thought about running a fixed-advance magneto, but i already have the ignition, so we'll try it for starters. i'm running a four-speed gearbox on the mile machine, but i thought about converting it to a five speed, which can be done by hand with a dremel, if you have the right parts. these are from somewhere in the 1970s, and may be a better choice than the existing four-speed for a track bike. the pegs won't work, as i'll have to come up with rear sets, but the motor mounts will work either way. these are chromed, from some forgotten chopper years ago. i tune with a stopwatch and an AF gauge. the numbers from the gauge aren't really useable without calibration, but once i establish baselines with a stopwatch, the oxygen sensor is invaluable for repeating the mixture settings under different situations. tach doesn't read below 2000 rpm, but that's okay, as all the tuning there is by ear anyway. and then i have some fiberglass. something to sit on, and something to tuck in behind. lot's of separate bits at the moment, but when things warm up i'll accelerate the build.

Do you need a hug? Your comebacks are especially lame lately.
