I hate being the guy that borrows a bike all the time.

That's my job.

It's almost like a time-share scenario.

Roach Carver · « **Reply #2802 on:** April 19, 2012, 08:04:06 AM »

Well, my experience has been that I never feel comfortable on someone elses ride. Always afraid that something will break.

wixil · « **Reply #2803 on:** April 19, 2012, 08:07:11 AM »

I feel similarly about letting someone else ride my bike. I know it's quirks, but I'm afraid of someone else getting themselves into trouble with it. I won't ride someone else's bike unless I'm pretty sure I can afford to fix or replace it if I do something stupid.

I wonder if it's what a foster parent feels like?

captain awesome · « **Reply #2805 on:** April 19, 2012, 08:10:24 AM »

Does anyone know if there is anything like the MotoGiro closer to us than New York? I'm thinking of doing something like this next year, but I think heading 20 hours North is just a little to far out of range for me.

I don't know but that looks like fun other than being limited to 305cc.

Completely unrelated, but I saw this and it made me think of all the scene kids into whatnot that seem to be everywhere now. I laughed a lot.

I am a foster parent as my wife and I cannot have our own kids and we cant really afford a private adoption. And that is exactly what it feels like!

I guess four parachutes at this point.
Andy, have you tried just whacking the piss out of that assembly with a mallet? That usually gets me where I need to go. Then again, I'm not a clever man.
Also, I found out yesterday that the taco stand I talked about is out of business and up for sale. Any takers?

I ate a place out on School with Adam last year that was pretty good. There isn't much out this way for good tacos other than Las Palmas.

I think the place Adam took you is El Camino Real...good fish tacos!

Radam · « **Reply #2810 on:** April 19, 2012, 02:20:47 PM »

Either one is good. Columbiamex is probably more authentic.

brickman · « **Reply #2811 on:** April 19, 2012, 02:23:39 PM »

Your mom's more authentic...

True dat!

Hows the stupid side of the world doing Adam?

Roach Carver · « **Reply #2813 on:** April 19, 2012, 02:43:32 PM »

whats it like pissing in your face. Is it like someone else pissing in your face?

wixil · « **Reply #2814 on:** April 19, 2012, 04:59:25 PM »

So a 10mm zirc fitting and some furious pumping of the grease gun got the brake piston out.

Told you so.

Radam · « **Reply #2816 on:** April 19, 2012, 07:14:05 PM »

This side of the world is ok. I'm having a harder time finding a job than I thought I would, and I'm sick of playing house wife. I'm gonna get my forklift license. It's gonna cost around $350 but the pay is good if I get a job driving a lift. Having a car is almost a must for most jobs. They won't even talk to you if you don't have your own transportation. Kinda sucks. Other than that we're doing pretty well.

Roach Carver · « **Reply #2817 on:** April 19, 2012, 07:23:27 PM »

Dont they know you walk?

coke · « **Reply #2818 on:** April 19, 2012, 07:45:26 PM »

Radam, get a new SOHC bike.. that will be your transportation

captain awesome · « **Reply #2819 on:** April 20, 2012, 06:18:24 AM »

I think you would make a pretty wife Adam, but since you don't have a car I wouldn't recommend you for the position.

Roach Carver · « **Reply #2820 on:** April 20, 2012, 07:07:41 AM »

I thought that was the arrangement already? Livin the dream

I may be out your way Saturday afternoon visiting some of the wife's family in Lincoln. You going to be around?

Radam · « **Reply #2822 on:** April 20, 2012, 09:27:35 PM »

Coke, I'll be getting a bike soon. Terry from Australia on here is giving me a 76 750k to build. I should get a shed in about a week, then it's just up to Terry to get the bike to me.

Brad, the dream isn't as nice when it's reality. It would be a lot better if I already had the bike to work on.

wixil · « **Reply #2823 on:** April 21, 2012, 05:21:56 PM »

Hang in there, Adam. You really are living the dream. Just a few kinks to iron out with it is all.

I got my brake painted and back together today. I just got done bleeding it. It's functioning now, but it's hanging a bit on release. I think it needs a bit of adjustment still. But Yay for brakes!

So what's on the menu at the Cafe d'Green next weekend? Sausage party?

Roach Carver · « **Reply #2824 on:** April 22, 2012, 08:03:05 AM »

Andy those rubber seals get hard in the caliper and wont let the piston slide back and forth.
