Should have guessed that from the size of the shorts. Don't sit back.

 

The reclining on the sissy bar position WITH SHORTS is supported by 4 out of 5 unlicensed chiropractors who recommend it for middle aged men trying to recapture their preadolecence. Seriously Mike, they wouldn't stand behind it if it wasn't safe. 

 

 

Bend it back stronger... You're killing me smalls. 

[datzenmike]

Well then, good enough for me.

The bike is cool!  If you wear the shorts, these guys might be looking to get a band together...

Hipster is a pronoun but a sexual identity?

Hipster is sort of a cross between a lumberjack and a steam punk dude. 

 

Not so much a sexual identity, but I always wonder...

 

examples..

 

hipster-o-rama

 

Alright.  I'm now done shitting in the bike thread.

Who would have thought a pair of shiny, rainbow, hot-pant, Daisy Duke shorts would derail a thread this badly?🤣

You know, I have always wondered if the spammer made that typo, or if a mod cheekily changed it...  😄

[datzenmike]

I correct speeling in the title so the Google search function will work. A post about breaks isn't going to help much and it looks like unprofessional crap. Spelling/punctuation in the text you're on your own to make yourself look good.

Correction - that there be a She-it, or abbreviated it's simply a SHIT

[dimlight65]

Today I finally put the grips on!  First, a little heat gun action

 

 

 

Then I wrestled them on.

 

 

 

Then, I sized up the new purple chain to the old one

 

 

 

and installed it

 

 

 

And had John install the coaster brake bracket so if the paint got scratched, it would be the painter who scratched it!

 

 

And while the Crown Royal bag protected the top of the sissy bar, an old yoga mat protected the handlebars while we had the thing upside down... in case you were wondering.

 

 

Oh, and I added some purple valve stem caps

I was thinking about a "Skid Lid" for when I ride this thing.  I wanted a Stahlhelm because chopper, but they are apparently super heavy.

 

Then I remembered buying a vintage Russian tank driver's helmet for driving the Seven in cold weather.  Thinking about dyeing it purple.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And now, a warning...

 

 

 

Enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with THAT image burned into your brain! Muwahahahaha!

With that bike and that outfit, you're ready for a hillbilly birthday party!!

 

 

 

[KELMO]

What are you talking about, he IS a hillbilly birthday party.🤪

[dimlight65]

My only regret is that the Spice Girls t-shirt wasn't as small as I remembered it...

 

 

Ok, that's probably not the only regret. 🤣

[datzenmike]

 

I taped this to my mirror and have lost 3 pounds since Thursday.

[dimlight65]

Ok, we're getting there!  Today I installed a boing-boing springy seat post,

 

 

 

a double footed, "service stand" kickstand,

 

 

 

and a set of pegs... for all those times someone will need a pump!

 

 

 

John shot some video of me riding it that he will hopefully post for y'all, or you can hop over to my Instant Grams to see the absolute CRAP video I took of my first ride.
