The Timer is set T got five minutes to bust this shit out...........

Yankee Springs is now the race to be scene at with over 700 riders lining up..Some Tanguy wins it handily over the Miscene legend ScottyQ...nice..
JohnnyU in the 5 and the Lion skied alot last winter
lets bring it back the 1 lap and see if they double that turnout...
AAVC starts off with a solid group..
The same old same old....breakakaway on a short course Then the new BaseMedia guy goes up against the Old guy and pulls the win off at the line..and the Black Ace is rumored to have riddin from Ohio to the race..raced and rode home...
now thats fucked up...
Willow TT pre-reg looks to be at all time low...

Lemmys House of Style

Yellow
although now a tad dated if done right you could still pull these off..match em with a all black kit and would enuf cool points that might jump your social status to next level
These:
shoes are not made for walking..not a thigh a gap kinda guy but ill let her pass with legs like that

This
is so hard to pull off...the sockless cyclist..come on admit most of you posers have done it before
hell one of the fastest dudes in the scene probably will rock this look come those steamy days..but you cant be pack fodder and do it though..so unless your honching breaks or setting KOMS..dont
Those
are worth the wait...
Mistake
Black socks..cool looking custom job
KISS
if you dont got a smidge of style just play it safe and go black
Depends
what the fuck does that mean..either your lucky enuf to roll with the 3T squad or kits all blacked out..thats the only way you can pull these off..
When
in doubt remember what i said...
trying to pair bright neon or wicked colors with a standard issue team just doesn't work..dont fall into a fashion pile o poo like the one guy is right now...
Sometimes 
I feel like I'm a preacher as well, 'cause I can really get into an audience.

do radshit....
figure it out or die wondering 
stop taking yourself so serous...your not getting paid to be an arrogant prick
sensible shoes tonight

Fonzies corner

Holy cow nerds did things get hot that nite...whatta ya think ..does Linda Evans look really concerned that John is about choke the dickens outta Joan...? whatta great show
WOA
Kara Del Toro...those eyes...
that dress enough to melt inspiration point even on the coldest nights 
Even though people are throwing out Iggy Pop as Jens doppelganger..i aint buying cuz Jen is not only a beautiful gal at any stage of her career she makes the Fonz laugh..and laughing is cool.. 
Hayley Atwell...a smile big enuf to make even the Fonzes worst days at the garage all seem worth it..
and her hair double...WOA
the beautiful innocence of Lea Thompson in the Wild Life..makin doughnuts and doing the dirty deed with that local fuzz..
It's casual.
make yer lady laugh instead of frown nerds..
youd be surprise what might happen

This weekend
make time to seek your inner Kenny

1,scott bower 
came from a running back ground and in one year went from a sport rider setting a time at Yankee Springs that put him in the top 10 over to a Elite rider by fall..then gone

2.eric tompkin 
was a thick dog that raced for the defunct Planet Cycle shop.dropped weight and spent many years murdering dudes on a SS

3.tom archer
another guy dropped the weight and got to be solid overall rider..but just missed getting any state titles..riding for the Ford/Giant Team on the road and the TWT/bells team on the MTB rode both well

4.bryan farmer
a skinny quiet guy from the waterford area  BITD that had a few almost seasons

5.jamie parker
Another one from back in the day that was almost always just close to being in there hanging with The WIZ and DC helped

6.danny klein
The God of the what IFS....

7.jay moncel
Jay cut his teeth getting leatherd by the WIZ and the Blue-Wave..but stuck it out and had a few good seasons in the process in later years

8.curt johnson
Raced for Metro bikes and was always a factor off road in the late 90's and crossed pretty decent before it got serous

9.thomas kachelmeyer
back in the early 2000..spent the winters out west often and came back haulin..with suspicion of peds

10.wayne cook 
The Eddie Munster doppelganger...Wayne could SS for 100 miles failry well..i hear he gained weight and fishes for a living now..

11.joe cranston
Joe won MTB races BITD riding a Pro-Flex..anyone who can even navigate a single track with a bike with rubber nerf balls holding it together had skills..

12.derek grahm
skid mark didnt gain too many friends with his silent seemingly early Bissell arrogant attitude but that dude could ride a bike and win state titles like a mofo..

13.mike anderson
Mikes raw talent is and was pretty scary...he should figure out a way to bottle that shit and sell it..

14.grahm howard 
the elder half of the Howard duo...won alot in Michigan and took some wins out west at bigger stuff too

15,steve howard
Steve or Sven..depending on the years..for short balding guy he rolled some solid rides with his bro..could cross cross pretty passable too when he wanted..

woulda
 coulda
  did

Just cuz you got a mouth dont mean you have to open it all the darn time..some of the best friendships are silent ones...been awhile since T really gave the scene any real thought..but since he is human and like vomit on the sidewalk outside the Golden Corral you gotta take a look..

even fewer top 10 finishers show from last year
Rumor the Evil-Dude calls it quits
Springfling......hell its almost over with and it aint started...
Waterford offers locker rental for 2017
Strava segments and KOMS make the Waterford races seem more interesting..
Rumor: The BlackAce eats it at over 35 mph training in Georgia and rides another 100K after

Suppose if there is one planned it would be nice to see out before the longest standing event the Willow TT

Lemmys House of Lies

I really dig the color scheme and the woods theme...
 but the lugs look like complete crapola
The spring eurofuck classics saw alot of shit......softtails, the sectors and top mounts..and not a exploro in the group 
Titanium is never not welcomed in Lemmys garage..Id like this one more with some Maxxis gumwalls tho...blackwalls are boring
i thought This whole track bike fix-gear thing was dead....but bam out pops a new twist on it...Im diggin it even though most are just for show..
 wow...not any place ive riddin lately..fuck these chicks are just fakin it...
I like this bike alot...and wouldnt even have the heart to call it an all arounder even tho it is...
gawd i hope i aint fallin for this shit
 CX TT fix gear wide enuf for 48c tires ?
BRX Next spring..
All life is a mystery,
All things come to he who waits
All things just a twist of fate
It's just a state of mind
All your time is not your own
It's real hard to find out why
It's real hard to say good-bye
To move on down the line...
