Hey peeps, besides the test drivin in front of the McDs place, yesterday and 2day were the real test drives. Yesterday was a cool spin in the peavine area with an awesome friend. She had the patience of Yoda himself with all the tweakin that was demanded of me. Axle displacement was the big problem. Despite everyones lake of ability to trust my wrenchin skills and ability to learn on the fly…I can figure shit out. My other problem was dialin in the fork by de Italianos and de compression y rebound required from my hips down dat I haven’t had to rely on in about 4 fuckin years…feels good to be alive again.
Today, I didn’t call anyone cause I didn’t want to slow anyone down and I wanted to ride the 2 to 1 at my pace…had to stop twice for axle adjustments to stop the annoyin rotor to caliper rub…all good now!
It was the same ride that I did with Marcus and da Geek, except this time I started on Russle road which adds about 7 miles.
Towards the end of the ride I was followed by some Vultures! Don’t know if they smeeled DEATH on me or if they simply recognized one of their own hooverin ground level!
2morrow, I’m meetin some homies at the Backcountry in Truckee so we can saddle up and rally in reno of all fuckin places…please melt snow! Rim jobs are on the agenda!
Pics never come out right for me…forgive…ya’ll get the jist!
Is that? It is! The man, the mythe, the legend himself, checkin on the final product!

Awesome Bro!!!
Looks like a MF of a fork on there. What’s that like 120mm? That’s going to make you do foolish things. Better put some bomber tires on the back. I’ve got an old SS I want to suspend. See if I can make a raked-out dirt-jumper out of it.
Rally on Peaving Monday evening? I’ll be shredding probably around 7:00
