Trying to get a Sunday Haines Ride to be a regular thing. (I didn't have my act together last Sunday.) details TBA.

sorry, Spud. You gotta live in the District to rep for the District.

and on that note, who is this daibutsusan73
i wanna chill with you too brother.. haven't had the pleasure yet.

Next time when you have a flat, repair it and come back riding with us. Then you would have met him already... :D

You gotta live in the District to rep for the District.
Does temporarily residing count? All non-permanent-DC-resident-pirates could spend a night at... let's say pnc's place every once in a while.
:p

I thought you were talking about the petition to get the IOC to recognize the DC Olympic Team, any citizen can sign the petition. You know they do drug testing for the Olympics...

You know they do drug testing for the Olympics...
i think they only test you for performance-enhancing drugs. my drugs of preferene are performance deterrants.

i'm pretty sure that Canadian snowboarder lost his medal for the non-enhancing and also claimed it was second-hand influence, i forget the final results.

I literally puke in my mouth when I read Websters.

I know I know, i hate websters too.
Now get yer tooth brush out. Puking in your mouth is bad for the teeth.

thought i'd share with the pirates the track photos. didn't realize that you weren't hanging on my every word in the LA thread. tracks rule, cars drool. if you need explaination, it's in my blog, link below. http://flickr.com/photos/chimblysweep/sets/72057594053517367/

Hey! I'm always down there anyway, so it would be cool to meet some other peeps to ride in circles with.

Yarr!, and all that...

Backward Circles?

Joshdcu...are you that dude with the repainted khs? Nice bike if it is you.

No, that's not me... I have a generic-like <ducking as I type this...> Langster.

Backward circles could be a metaphor for my life in general, but on a bike? Well, er... I dunno...

There ain't no room for langster hate on this thread.

Good to know... (Phew!)

I'm down for a Haines ride on Sunday. Mmmm....grilled....cheese...

As for Polo tonight, I may show up but my Bianchi is still new enough that a demolition derby style polo match makes me nervous. That doesn't mean I can't go drinkin' afterwards. What time for Sherwood 7:30? 8:00?

gonna skip out on the HP ride on sunday, I'll be in Baltimore =\

what sort of beer shall we bring?

I vote for Delirium, but I know not whence to get it. Hints? Clues? Other votes, just say Aye!

7:30, polo isnt always agressive, there was about three seconds of agression last time, most of which was Noah ripping valves off freshly repaired innertubes.

Check out Cairo Liquors at 1618 17th st. I *think* between Corcoran and Q. Really great selection. They usually have anything you could want.

And i won't be there this week.

Polo, POLO, Polo!
Tonight, traditional 7 pm start. 14th and K.
Seems like there will be many stragglers. I myself will not be arriving until 7:30ish.
There are usually several sidelined/sparks drinkers to hang with who aren't playing, including myself. (Because no one's caught on yet that I've never actually played polo! haHA!)
PM someone for/with cell info if yo plan on showing up late and want to catch up.

i got something awesome in the mail today, you'll all be as excited as me when you see.

LBK: check this out http://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.php?p=2091235&postcount=6 you would probably have to do some sanding to install it like that, or check out Christoph's method on his fixed gear bike...either way christoph and i can help you figure out how to fix your tension problem.

I've done that to a set of chain tensioners. I have a metal file.
sheesh, i am starting to go crazy stuck inside.

yeah, its a solution. i'm thinking you can probably mount them on the inside like Christoph, and get rid of some of those washers. what sort of hub do you have suzue basic?

Pictures!

Thank you for finding that. It's not an urgent problem, but perhaps I should investigate.

edit* what were you 2 kids doin up so late gabbing about chain tensioners?

Haines Point Ride Sunday, 11 am. Meet at the tennis court parking lot corner.
It's k-dongballs' last official pirate ride. Right? Tell him how much you'll miss him with a wrestling match, a wedgie, and a thumb in the keister.

We will ride laps, eat grilled cheese, ride some more, and have a grand ol time.

Thanks to Spud for those Yarrrsome stickers, I am having a competition based on three pirate favourites; pillaging, humour and prizes......The prize is a "Pirates Pleasure" beer bottle jacket (see spuds if you wanna know what it looks like) the challenge is the best placed "Pillaged" sticker as provided by Spud, photographic evidence required by 14 February and I'll make the decision with a judgement of Valentines love.

Do your worst :D

EDIT: NO PHOTOSHOP!

I have exactly the same tensioners and did the sanding. The only difference is, that I installed them on the inside. But, I don't know if I would buy those particular tensioners again.
