  1. For valid trials you need controls, you should have just kept the rental bike. Another cheap option is go to a bad neighborhood and look for someone with a nice bike. Yell "Hey, that's my bike". And a lot of the time they drop it and run.

  2. Finished up a project I've been wanting to do for a long time on the Honda. Anyone who's seen it run remembers my ignition switch was a toggle switch next to the headlight. Not super secure. So I decided to Fab up what I think is a very cool and clean solution. Bought a new old stock steering stem nut, milled a slot in it to receive a dual pole, dual throw keyed switch. Wired it up and Shazam.

  5. Went on a fucking bicycle ride today. $15 at my local canoe livery/bike rental spot gets you a 3 mile stretch on the river and an hour on a bike. My plan was to rent the bike, pedal 3 miles up river where they put in the kayaks and paddle downstream. I got there at like 4:40. Last boat in the water by 5. So they say, 'just do the kayak first, then come back and get the bike rental'. I'm out of shape as fuck but I can still hack it, so I do my 3 miles in a kayak, which was mostly enjoyable, and on the way down I'm thinking I'll just get my keys and id from the desk and skip the bike. So I get back and they're like 'ok, let's get you on a bike!' Hit the towpath with 30 minutes running on the timer on my g-shock intending to reset and turn back when it went off. Hit the 3 mile mark where they put my kayak in at 12 min. Decided fuck it, I'm gonna do the hour and I'm gonna hit butterbridge (the put in spot for the 6 mile trip) and come back in this hour. And I did, with 30 sec to spare after taking a 2 min break at the halfway point. I know, 12 miles probably isn't shit to most of you, but I'm almost 38, out of shape as fuck and haven't put more than a few blocks on a bike in 15 years. Felt good. Felt really fucking good to push myself and get it done. So that's my story. IDK if I'll buy a bike. I sure as fuck won't be buying spandex jumpsuits and silly styrofoam helmets. But I'll ride the towpath again, and I'll do it in 45 min.

  6. Anyone interested in a set of brand new never mounted Bridgestone Battlax BT023's 190/50-17 Rear and a 120/70-17 front. Bought these last fall because of the price. I decided I don't want to run them because: one they are non GT's (GT's are made for heavy bikes) and two I want to stick to my 190/55 T30 rear that I've grown to love. These are brand new never mounted and still have the sickers on them . I believe the date code is spring of 2016 I'll confirm this when I get home. I'll will sell these for exactly what I have in them which is $180 for the set any less than that ill just run them. Pick up in 43019

  11. If it locked up while he was riding it, I'd definitely be looking for a used replacement motor.
