Good advice. Also, one single sided page and a simple font.

36-pt comic sans always works well.

Now I just need to wait for Retro to get the H-Son's back in stock.

Today I went motobiking with my pops for several hours. What a thrill! It's good to have all that stick shift and mtb experience.

Yes, the bike is ridiculously small for me and it had a big effect my handling capability :cry:

Taught my wife how to make a perfect omelette.

Lost my mind due to winter/cabin fever/lack of riding.

Contemplated many handlebar and stem configurations.

I also said **** it, its Sunday almost the afternoon, I'm slightly sick and popped out my talisker storm and sipping on it.

Pretty sure we would be good friends. Have you tried Jura?

LouCypher 02-02-15 08:17 AM

Haha, we probably would. I love scotch's mainly peated ones, cognacs, some rums, and mostly bourbon. Only because bourbon still tends to be really affordable for what they are.

I have tried Jura Superstition and liking it quite a bit. But never had a bottle for myself nor their other products.

My shop sells the Brooklyn one atm, but Im not willing to spend 70 bucks for it because it just seems a bit too gimmicky.

Stayed home sick today. Tried denying that I had a cold for the last few days but last night it got the best of me, and I left work early due to feeling like garbage. Rode 7.7 miles home in an absolute blizzard on a heavy fat bike and ended up pushing it the last mile because it was a foot deep and the plows were nowhere in sight. Was eyeballing my bikes earlier wondering when I will be riding them, sweating because of the 99% humidity.....cannot.....wait.

50voltphantom 02-02-15 03:12 PM

Have been seriously contemplating switching to compact drops instead of bullhorns.

This is exactly why I also haven't tried it. I've had many bottles of Superstition, but tend toward Speyside bottles. Now I realize that I need to go buy a bottle of something.

Pretty much on the same page. Got to work at 7am.. turns out everyone was told not to come in until 10(weather). Been fighting a cold last 2 days now. Missed out on all bomb ass food at football parties yesterday. I don't know why im still here. Idiot.

We have become a big image, with nothing to back it up, besides the past when we actually did work hard. We are spoiled, crybabies, still clinging to the "if I work hard I can make it or maybe become rich" , 1950s mentality that rich people still try to feed the rest of us, so that we keep the wheels turning, so they can stay rich. Joe Punchclock will ***** and complain about gas prices, but still drive the biggest vehicle he can afford. Happy as long as he can still afford a 12 pack and cable tv, so he can occuppy himself with sports. And don't you DARE try and make his 'Merica anything like Europe! We do things our way, and our way is the right way. The American way.


Gimme a break dude. That **** yer selling is a dying idea. People are realizing that.


Ok. I'm done.

This rant seems to be undercutting itself. You seem to equate acquisitiveness with laziness. If anything the opposite correlation holds. American's do want stuff. They also have the least amount of paid vacation of any industrialized nation and they are the least likely to take vacation if offered it. It is true that their productivity is middle of the road but American's either feel compelled or actively want to be at work more than any other first world nation. This isn't a defense or even praise of Americans but just statistics that to me fly in the face of the characterization of Americans as lazy. "Ugly" yes; lazy no.

Ok. There are bazillions of examples of American Lazyness. But, like I said, I'm done. I don't wanna "argue" about it, or anything.:)

I've been enjoying compact drops a lot more than I thought I would. Finally getting over how they look as well. Definitely not as sexy as classic drops.

I had the joy of watching an idiot by my house trying to get out of his driveway for over an hour. He was yelling and screaming on top of his lungs asking for help. It was hilarious. He started throwing snow, hitting his car, throwing tantrums like a 7 year old.

Today....I Have off from work, still sick -____- and gonna go file my taxes and get some dinero back!!!

I ride SS and I've always seen the 'hoods' as a compromised ergonomic hand position for both handlebar grip and braking. Whereas with bullhorns allow you to fully grip the bars and more effectively squeeze the brake lever(s). I actually like the look of modern compact drops w/levers better than bullhorns and bar end levers.

Could your inability to carry on the argument be due to your "American" laziness?
