  1. Hello Darkness, my old friend. Another bike sucks wind again. Because a tiny intake valve floating Left both its rider's ear ringing. And the valve was flattened by the piston crown; Not so round. Is that the sound of Triumph?
  2. That leak is a little too close to the vertical exhaust pipe for my comfort level. I have reservations about riding a bomb. Shit.
  3. So, something fun happened today. I found a leak in my fuel tank seam near the hinge weld. Shit.
  4. Harley Hate Reign O'r Me!!
  5. I may have benefitted from white privilege, but I don't suffer from white guilt. Got an issue with my skin tone? Take it up with whatever being farted me into existence. I never asked to be here in the first place.
  6. I can't make your Wednesday night departure. Wish it weren't so.
  7. They were all murderous douchebags. It's how you claim land that doesn't belong to you. I didn't care then and I don't care now.
  8. I may just leave Thursday morning and roll to Marion on my own. I will leave the room key hidden in an undisclosed location. It's up to you to find it and then figure out what room I am in. Hint: Walk towards the smell of skunks.
  9. Which one am I, because those all sort of describe me?
  10. New Panaracers for the Kona and new Mavic Open Pro hoops, DT 2.0 laced to Origin8 hubs. Also installed a set of Michelin Power tires and a shiny 16 tooth cog. Pulled 36.5 mph put of her on Saturday on a roadie ride. That is 155 rpm...and I loved every mile.
  11. Tires ordered. I am putting in for vacation tomorrow. We are busy at work, but I warned them a while ago about this trip. Pending no huge snafus, I should be good to go.
  12. That Multi overtook its fair share of fast cars. She's a good bike.
  13. I had two or three sets prior to this last set. Never had an issue with wobble, but never had a single set last more than 2500 miles. Two rears were splitting. One rear turned blue from a gap trip. Never had any other tire do any of that.
  14. Had Oxycotin when they did my hernia surgery. Didn't take any poop pills. Ate a large pizza the evening after the surgery. Five days and handfuls of stool softener later, I shat a kettle ball. You could have parked a Buick in my rectum.
  15. Best deal on a set of rubbers for the ST3? 180/55/17 and 120/70/17 is what she wears. I don't care what brand.
  16. Bad tire. Same thing happened with the Multistrada. I installed Michelins and it went away. Those ContiMotions are absolute shit.
  17. Road 27 miles on Saturday and another 48ish yesterday on the fixed gear. This bike is either gonna make me a beast or kill me on the way.

    ABS vs Non-ABS

    I was on my fixed gear with some roadies. Fifty miles with no gears or coasting. Did 27 miles the day before, same bike. Legs are tired.
  19. Applebees has the best microwaved food.

    ABS vs Non-ABS

    I need ABS on my bicycle. Almost got creamed yeaterday snowplowing the front through some pea gravel. I saved it, though. My bike handling skills are far superior to any offerings from Skynet.

    Maid Service

    I have a photo somewhere of my underage cousin in a French Maid outfit with my father grabbing a handful of stuffed bra.
  22. Congrats! I don't run, but if I did... I would run towards a BigMac.
  23. So much truck traffic on WV-88 that I almost took a detour and headed back to Ohio. Fortunately, the trucks dispersed before Cameron and then we just sliced and diced our way around the cages for the rest of the day. Left the house around 8:30 and in the driveway at 4:00 on the nose. Not sure how many miles. I didn't feel up to keeping track, but I need a rear tire before I think about a trip to anywhere else. Good to get out and it was good to have a riding buddy. I was undecided about posting my intentions, but am glad I did. The ride was better with company. The Duc ran great and only smells of engine coolant a little bit. I need to get those fancy silicone hoses to replace these terrible stock sweatpipes. Also need a rear tire and an oil change before I take her anywhere out of the state, again. Less than 4k on this set. Dayum! The two evil axis ally bikes cooling down while the motopilots refuel with sandwiches and water in Hundred, WV.
  24. Have a good run, Justin. I will catch you another time.
