Rides and Races - DC Pirates' Pillages and Plunders

Chimbly are you going to tell us what it is?

its a small Pacific 18-speed MTB full suspension, two toned: grape purple fades to lemon yellow. coaster brake and disc brake in the back and side pull front, epitome of polo hotness.

It's a mate for the lonely okashi. Nothing less!

are they going to breed? i want okashi's first born!

says jonnycycles.com: it's a "Track bike with polished stainless lugs and star cutouts for Julie in D.C."
sorry jonny. Jonny's website is up to date when it says I'm still on the list.

you'll know it when you see it. hence, come see it in person tonight (and drink!) or see the pictures tomorrow. email/pm/AIM/text/googletalk me if you're coming.

Is it really the Jonny Cycles?! I hope it is the pacific :D (Coaster and rear disk brake, spud? LOL) if not I think I may just explode with jealous rage :cry:

when you gotta skidstong, you gotta lock it up good!

again, no. it's not the jonny cycles. that's a good month away still.

Maybe split the hydralic line to the disc and run some hydralic calipers as well. Sweet!

okashi's first born!

FYI
okashi is a sweet/snack (as in pie!). okashii means silly, crazy, weird in a funny way.

in other news...i'm finally on the mend! yeey! but am still hocking mean loogies. watchout! is the clink exoneration celebration tonight or tomorry?

thursday (tomorrow) is the Clinkey thingey.

hooray for LBK!

Does anyone know what time Chain Reaction closes on a Wednesday?

A little bird told me about y'all. Sounds like a good time.

And is this a present pour moi? It's got my name on it...How thoughtful! I can't wait!

call me if you need a saw?

i locked to the trash can in front of logan hardware and somehow dropped my key in the trash. i pulled everything out of the trash can (EWWWW!) but still didn't find it. walked home, grabbed a spare, retrieved it. pain in the ass.

ps - how does a frame that's on a freaking delivery truck not come?

julie (now resorting to boxed wine in hopes of reversing effects of recent bad luck)

Sorry 'bout the your "loss" Chim. I do keep a a spare in my bag, spare at work and one in my pocket.

Hey, how do you know that?!

as he tries to type after a few beers

gosh, i haven't mis spell anythong yet.... me n my big mouyth ..eah thursday..... I'llbe out of town until about 6pm....
Thursady night is going to be awesome! maybe I'll take the new retro bikie... if Chimbly will have her new bike too.

i think chimbly needs to ride sue, after abandoning her on a trashcan for hours today she needs some love.

Hey, how do you know that?!

shes the one who suggested Okashi[i] in the first place, in Northbrook.

But I'm curious how she knows Japanese.

I'm curious and jealous on how WU4me just triple bypass quoted...damn that's okashi!

she didnt go to keirin school for the sushi ;)

btw: didn't you know that LBK is an Ex-Navy Seal? you SF tukus is no match!

I think you mean it's 可笑しい ("okashii" if you don't have Japanese language support for your browser). You don't think I just watched TV the whole time I lay in bed recuperating, do you? I leafed through a variety of books and magazines, too. :p

I think I'll take my bike out for a spin the next time I'm free and the sun is out. Yay! It's been soooo long.

But I'm curious how she knows Japanese.


probably the same way i know Japanese.

julie (now resorting to boxed wine in hopes of reversing effects of recent bad luck)
I brought more bad luck to Julie tonight. I spilled about a half box worth of wine on her computer.
It shut down. I think this is a sign. Julie, you MUST stop using windows 95. Franzia says so.

Julie, you MUST stop using windows 95.

Oh! No, don't do that!

Good to hear.

where can I get a scurvy bike pirate T shirt?

please and thanks !! ??

I don't know japanese. i know okashii. because that's what my friend noriko tells me i am.

we need an okashi song



it's my new song, off my first album...
this one starts with Mr. Bun E. Carlos...


okaaaah okaashiii crazy fun like pie should beeeee

ok, apologies all around.
first, i apologize for breaking my no-getting-off-rollers-and-going-straight-to-the-wine-box rule. to the guys in the crossfire of my breaking of that rule, i'm so sorry.

second, i apologize for breaking my no-posing-on-BF-after-tapping-the-wine-box rule. to anyone who read comments, i apologize.

third, i apologize for breaking my no-franzia-in-the-computer rule. needless to say, Win95 and franzia don't get along very well. that's ok, it was time to upgrade anyway. Does anyone have a Win98 machine they no longer want? must have modem. franzia-proofing is useful too.

Chimbly, if this has anything to do with why Joe rolled in here, it's best to drop him a PM and/or post in that thread he created. Otherwise, I'm sorry if I misinterpreted what you were saying in your I'm sorry post above. ;)

Koffee

one more thing-- we checked out the track last night and it's awesome. not banked of course, but you can't have it all. plan on riding it tonight, snow or not.

you guys must have been naughty last night
good thing i missed it
i got no beef wich y'all
but if we're racing that track
peoples better bring it!
i've been done up with a bum back for most of the week.
and as i'm feeling a touch better this morning.
i'mma gonna wreck it tonight!

bring your A game
i'll bring my Beam game ;)

and thats my word

Do you guys know about this stuff?

I look forward to riding my bike this evening. It will be fun. Snow is pretty.

Julie, you MUST stop using windows 95.

Damn. And folks give me crap about using ME. :p Does anything even run on 95 anymore?

Don't know if I'll make tonight or not,might wind up having to work(why does crap only happen when I'm the on-call? :( ). If I come,I won't be doing much racing on the bumblecrow. It's the only bike I'm willing to run in the salt.

Anyone else tired of cleaning their bikes? Cripes,mine's so encrusted,I can't stop for more than a minute without being surrounded by deer. Why can't the District use cinders like they do in PA? :mad:

Just some thoughts....

As tradition goes we pre-ride meet at Sherwood. This is followed by sitting in the park for 30 min waiting for the slacker to show up

When its nice / warm / not wet this is all good and nice

When its cooled / wet this is not so much fun

Should we consider meeting up at Homebase for all pre-ride activities till spring? All I am saying is that some people are more or punctual than other.

Also, an alternative we could leave Sherwood no later than say 10 min. after the meeting time. NO MATER WHAT

Any thoughts?
