Depends though. I mean, new cars? old cars? "Working at the carwash"?, chop shop? Body shop? Lube Stop? Valet driver?

dunno this is my first custom bag really, ive bought a handmade toolroll but this is my first thing from this maker. his site says 1-6 weeks tho.
isnt MW gear already made? |
I think a majority of it is -- I know that you can opt for different buckles and accessories which means you gotta wait for them to make the changes. At least my friend had to wait a few days when he picked up his MW bag.

When I was a small kid on a vacation to Michigan we stumbled across a small town Mom & Pop Ice Cream Parlor that had many unique and oddball flavors. I decided to try the Dill Pickle and got a two scoop cone. It was exactly, precisely, 100% perfectly dill pickle flavored. The accuracy of the recipe was amazing. After two or three licks the novelty began to wear thing. After eating one third of the top scoop I was turning green myself and had to toss it. I got a big fat I-TOLD-YA-SO from my Dad. |
Yeah, spicy and refreshing, like when you get chilli powder over your fruit at a fruit stand. It's a Latino place with all sorts of fresh fruit pops as well as cream pops and ice cream

I took a pretty hard spill this morning, 40-45mph, flying down Balboa Ave.
I'm a lucky man - no breaks or head injury. Lots of road rash, both arms and legs, and a heavily bruised left hip/glute - thankfully it was not fractured. My (training) bike is fairly damaged, and I did get to ride in an ambulance, although I was totally coherent and calm when I spoke to the paramedics. It (going to the hospital) just felt like the right thing to do. Tough break for me - right as I felt ready to train after ~2.5 weeks mostly off due to a back injury, this happens. When it rains it pours. Also, the mtb that I had planned on purchasing with tax return money is going to co-pays and bike components. I'm not entirely sure how it happened; I was flying down the hill and changing lanes when I lost control of the front wheel. I may have hit a pothole or merely skimmed the edge of those little reflector things at a wrong angle. Regardless, I remember NOT looking forward when I lost control, but looking over my left shoulder at traffic... lesson learned there: Look at the road when you have lateral momentum. |
Sorry to hear! Maybe it was a little bit sand or dirt? I once went down at speed because a little bit of road grit cause the bike to wash out from under me with no warning.

Sorry to hear that. Hope things are ok. Expect soreness tomorrow.... |
Thanks for the kind words guys.

Oh no, not the purple one?
Glad to hear you're okay, though. I can't imagine going down like that on a big street, hopefully there weren't too many cars around. Sounds like you'll be hurting for the next couple days, but I'm sure it's nothing you can't handle! |
Were you riding by yourself or did people pull over for you? Glad you are okay and nothing seems broken.
|
Ouch, sorry to hear Tmonk.
