Have Mercy!!

We should all meet in Durango, CO.

But 2000 miles on that bike? And the major dent on the Manitou?? That bike was rode hard.. It took me 6 hours to clean all the melted elastomer goop out of my Manitou to put springs in it. So expect to put in some work on this bike.

I am 51, and never smoked tobacco. So I am tobacco free…
My Mom was a big smoker and I told her the sure fire way to quit smoking. Buy a LifeCycle and every time you get the urge to smoke, jump on that thing for about 30 minutes. Kinda like a Pavlov’s dog approach. She eventually stopped with the patch.
Keep up the good work..

As I was a little too old for a Big Wheel when Mattel came out with it, I was wondering why a teenage version was not made. But then I remembered…
We had the Tri-Sport (Alsport) Three Wheelers. I had a friend that had one with a factory 2 stroke twin with expansion chambers and a wheelie bar, that was street legal.

Wow… Checky ckecky… I have turned into a “Regular Visitor”.. Cool…

I have the Turbo Cat lighting rig as pictured and had designed a helmet light using a 7v Makita battery stowed in the Camelbak. For a while, I was riding the Austin Barton Creek Greenbelt at night. But one night, I was at, what I call the Moon Rocks near a cliff and all of a sudden, I heard something or someone break out into a full run at me. As I was already on the move, I quickly laid down on the pedals and got out of there. I decided at that point I didn’t need to be riding at night alone. At the point that I started fearing for safety, I shyed away from the deep woods night rides. But I believe there is safety in numbers. Also, the battery on the Turbo Cat weighs almost as much as the bike. But the beams are great.. Riding the woods at night is awesome..
