Blogroll me baby!

and make it hurt!

Wantcha to go and say hi to Mr James Burnette of Burnettiquette. A cool site. Those of my readers familiar with my traffic related rants as well as other subjects, well, you’ll enjoy mr Burnette. Or else.

And also check out the Roller Coaster of Hate, which is Steve H’s new site. Purely humor, and small, at the moment. But get in on the ground floor, so you can say you knew him when.

Bike progress

Here’s the before

and the after

I know it doesn’t look like much has changed, but the crankcase covers have been removed and polished, the wiring corrected/repaired, the side covers repainted and re-pinstriped, etc. Still have a few issues to resolve, but it’s much closer to road ready than it has ever been.

Cool Gadgetry! NOT

So sunday, instead of actually getting to go to the range, I ended up at the mall. We wander around a bit, and I stumble into a Radio SHaft store. In said store, I find these:

Now, I think to myself, what a great idea! I don’t even have to bend over to know which is which! All I have to do is look at the tires and I know if they’re up to pressure! What awesomeness! Combined wiht the fact that they’re $4 for a set of four!

Problem is they leak. No matter how I tighten them, they leak enough eair pressure overnight that I have to refill them. Glad I saved the old stems. Nice work, whoever made this crap.
