My first thought reading this thread was that people were baking bread for thousands of years before the invention of mixers. My second thought was that historians say bakers had the most brutally demanding jobs in society, enduring countless hours of intense physical labor under miserable...

Whenever I here the word "backpack" my mind immediately imagines counting grams because you'll be humping all your food, water, fuel, shelter, clothes, utensils and tools over mountain mountain passes strapped to your back. So my first thoughts were DMT's credit card and keyring sharpeners.

Damn it! I knew I was making a mistake. Oh well. Better luck next time.

Beautiful work! And a wonderful gesture to a great community! 👍 (As I'm already a very lucky guy, I'll gratefully bow out.)

Gotta add that to the list. already had these going.

Argggggggghhhh. SIL offered to to do Thanksgiving this year. So all I needed to bring was mashed potatoes and my wife made a couple pies. Easy Peasey. Or so I thought... I set out my dish and then I hear her say "Swarfrat, you should carve the turkey." Uh, with what? and she shows me the...

"I like to think you killed a man. It's the Romantic in me."

"Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!"

"I see your Schwartz is as big as mine."

Two hydrogen atoms are walking down the street, first atom: omg, I've lost an electron! second atom: are you sure? first atom: I'm positive!

Around here it's all the time. On a recent ride on a paved, multi-use trail. I started counting unsafe e-bike behaviors. Beside personal safety issues like lack of helmet, riding in flip flops or even barefoot, riding two-up on a single seat bike and the like, we saw lots of cutting off and...

San Diego is stumbling distance from Mexico, anybody serving bad Mexican food wouldn't last long. Not when every mom and pop hole in the wall is making good food. There will never be agreement on the Five Guys/In-N-Out thing. It is what it is, just personal preference. I like both My wife is...

I don't know about your neighborhood, but around mine that's like 95% of e-bike riders.

There's always (well, maybe not always, they're getting harder to find) the Laverda 1000 RGS Executive.

The factory race bikes were orange. Race bred models like the SFC and Jota or the ones shown in magazines were generally orange. In the wild I've seen Laverdas in red, green, yellow, black, silver and of course, orange. Almost picked up a 1200 Mirage in silver once but I was short of cash at...

For some stupid reason, I never got decent photos of my bikes. Chalk it up to the annoyance of film and developing back in the day, I guess. But thanks to the wonders of the internet, here's a pic of somebody else's that's nearly the same as my last bike.

Hehehe,... If you thought knives are a rabbit hole, wait'll you start playing with frame building.

Dang, so many possibilities, so many opportunities to fall into the abyss. All I can suggest is to never lose sight of the goal. Are you trying to smooth the rough edges off a classic? Or are you trying to create something modern? Haven't a clue. We don't really even see those parts for sale...

Haven't cruised through in quite a while. Drop in to Hodel's some time and have a slice of pumpkin pie for me. And welcome to the party! Just in your hood a couple of weeks back. Took a harbor tour out of Ports O' Call.
