Gaaak. I also am of an age where "Indian Lake" is familiar. I was 11... :p

What did I do to my V20 this weekend? I tore down the shift & brake cabling (all around) and installed full new Jagwire "Pro XL" kit. I had several niggling problems that had been haunting me for the past couple of weeks...I'll talk about them in a separate post. I'd be out riding it except the...

Man! I wish I had some extra cash handy...not that I need another Cruzbike. :D Would be the perfect 'bent for my Bro' Don...but he never could get used to the MBB and gave it up (including giving me his V2/k). I've tried to get him to give it another chance but now he's convinced that he needs a...

I solved that issue with a pair of bar-end plugs. Much better than the crappy plastic bungs that come with bar wrap.

Installed a set of bar-end plugs from Fyxation Took 'em for a test-drive yesterday evening. Work like they're supposed to, made my LBS very happy for only $13. During the test drive, I was running down a 1/4 mi descent (concrete slab MUT, very bouncy) at 20mph and was passed by a kid on a...

I think a repeating black/reflective "Z" logo along the visible edge of the V20's seat would be nice. Something that follows the taper of the edge, etc. I'm not riding much in the evenings/night so I think that would be good enough for me. When I was doing a lot of night riding, I had reflective...

I like all of this except where you're eating snakes. :eek: I mean, tastes like chicken, sure...but I had no idea they maintained a snake pit for racers to quickly dip into, etc. Frankly, this is taking Paleo way too far for me. ;) Ok, /humor. Mt. Borah has been providing recumbent jerseys...

Color me seriously disappointed. :( I thought you would at least have a couple of pit girls to weigh it down...:D

Yah. I hate having to reprogram myself. Hitting the 'start' button is such a chore! :rolleyes: Of course, same old gripes...takes forever to connect (and at least one reboot of the RFLKT), drops the Cadence connection regularly (but reconnects on its own fairly quickly). I really like the...

Beauty! Amazing how these bikes look fast just sitting there. I had several comments from passers-by at the coffee shop this weekend. "Izzat yer bike? Looks fast!" I replied, "Getting faster every time I ride it!" Another 30mi done on Sunday. Wahoo RFLKT worked fine on the 18mi 'out' leg but...

Well done! I used to love being on 'The Trace'. I used to imagine myself in a small biplane, ducking down thru the trees and flying thru the tree-tunnels.

Wow...reminds me of when I low-sided my Yamaha. I drove it home and my mother took great enjoyment in digging the gravel out of my shoulder and then scrubbing it with medical soap, wire brushes (felt like it), etc. My riding buddy sat on a stool and watched, he bought a set of leathers within a...

Very cool to read Jesse's write up on BROL and compare with the stuff here. I think having some race-competitiveness between teams is a very positive thing. Frankly, it is a huge leap forward from "DF vs Bent". It shows that there are enough bent entries to actually require team strategies...

Gonna be hard to beat the front view. Very cool, that. Heck, my HR was bumping up just watching the vid!

Gee, I'm just looking forward to the day when I don't have to contact Omar-the-tent-maker to buy clothing...much less a skinsuit. :rolleyes: However, I am pleased to find that I can now fit into my Pearl-Izumi bib-shorts again. After a bad experience with a large flying/stinging insect flying...

I'm too shy of lunch traffic to ride, so I walk the Metrology loop just east of 5400...I've been clocking about 3.5 miles during my hour...and getting rained on regularly.:( Miz Diane is off to AZ for a week Monday...so if the weather looks decent, I'm going to drag the V to work at least a...

Well, its taken way too long but I was finally able to go for a ride today and test out the new curved slider arrangement and ventisit seat...and how well it rides in the bike rack, as I took it out onto the local Army base (Redstone Arsenal). After some stumbling around, I finally got to my...

No. Listening to Bizet is required for Bull Ants. Specifically a segment from the Toreador song from Carmen...but you must substitute these lyrics: "Toreador, don't spit on the floor! Use the cuspidor, that's what its for..."

"Highway to Hell" :D In reality, as a musician, it is a different tune for me every time. I'm very prone to 'ear-worms', so I try to stay away from simple repetitive stuff that might get stuck in my head for weeks...o_O

As Ratz said, it is extra...and rather than liking having it in the toolbox, it will be stashed away somewhere. When I desperately need it, I'll have to buy another just to find the first one. :confused:
