State Of The State

 


Initially this was gonna be one those traditional State of the State and where we at and whats up with that and whos doing what and how many Watts that kid from so and so is puttin out...But since there really aint much to gossip bout and the whole scene doesn't look much different than the scene of lst months..and T is kinda gettin tired..yea fools and even T gets tired..i know you all think T dont but he do...and that being said T gonna break tradition for a minute..if you can stomach the lousy grammar for about three minutes maybe you can find somethin else to brighten your day besides..likes, and a box of what not that was dropped at your door...

This might be too deep for some..and probably too touchy for most..and T is probably going out on a limb tonight..but he say ya know fucked right...The folks at TMS gave me the keys long ago and said T as long as the passwords remain the same you got a spot to spill....

Tonights State of State is simple..through these silly times of virus....speculation..no racing..racing..racial tension...hatred..wanting..expecting and self entitlement and all the other bullshit ...........none of this would be possible without life..

yep life..and that shit is  pretty short..when you done ..you done..no re-do..no going back..when its time..and the time is unknown..

that was it your life..We all pass on with the same stuff..Ts been livin for awhile with not what he brings into this world...or what he leaves with..but what he does for this world...yea silly huh...? 

Money..new bikes..carbon wheels..vacation homes..new cars..trips to places..is all sweet and cool..but just being a rad human to the general population and folks around is pretty sweet too..and easy..cost zilch...T  aint preachin a push-over human life style..and just cuz hes kind..he dont have to be weak..and powerless...


I dunno exactly where i wanted to take you tonight..but hopefully you got there..Human beings die pretty easy..


Sumthin to think bout.....or not.

Love, and peace always T


 


 what if both trump and biden got assassinated. could we have a new option then

Sales of century...

 Although this rotten old Bastard isnt in need of a new whip or if he was ..this old fucker doesn't even have the grip to even give it a second thought. But that don't mean a man cant dream right...In world gone quite mad..you gotta admit its the bicycle industry. When some shops are lucky to even have bikes, and others are selling tubes at twice the fair market price as last year..you know the shit aint good... 

One of my favorite spots in the wide and wooly world of social media is the used stuff marketplace...and i just couldnt resist a quick glance at few gems id lay my hard earned rocknroll bucks down on this past week..............



I might sell my Spur before I leave for Tucson. 



I might 
I might 
??
kinda think this means he aint really interested in selling. But read on anyhow........

I can get another one later. This is truly a one bike quiver for Michigan. I just am going back to SS, and getting into Enduro so need an Enduro bike. This bike will make you the talk of the group ride, and set KOMs up or down. I'll get some better pics when I get back from traveling later today. Just wanted to get a feeler going. 

It has a couple scratches on the inside of chainstay where the rotor hit the frame when I was putting the back wheel in. It's layered in clear frame tape and has zero damage. 

Build -

  • Transition Spur Large- Under 400 miles
  • Cane Creek Helm Works 120. This fork is brand new and uncut and will let you get the bike setup for you. I ran an extremely slammed SID Ultimate. I'm keeping that. 
  • SLX 12speed complete drivetrain. Under 400 miles
  • SLX 7000 brakes
  • One up V2 150mm dropper w/wolftooth remote
  • Truvativ carbon bars 720mm
  • Syntace 75mm stem
  • Dt Swiss wheels. Xm421/DT350 hubs
  • That's a basic ad for now. This bike is sold out till February at the earliest.



 Now's your chance..................


This seller had me at the KOM part...a dude can never  have enuf crowns on his way to social media dominance...............


1992 Rockhopper comp for sale. 




  • 17.5" frame
  • 26*2.15 tires
  • 1*9 Microshift advent
  • Canti brakes
  • Simple bike, good for customizing, lolligagging, getting groceries & turning heads. Doesn't go as fast as a road bike, and doesn't handle as well as a mountain bike, but it's pretty good for those times u just need a bicycle. I would rather sell it cheap to someone who will ride & admire it. Let me know what your best offer would be & we will talk.
  • Comes as is in first picture, the rest are just how I had it set up when I was riding it alot.


Id buy this bike sight unseen and give the seller an extra 100 bucks for his creativity level...

Its the right time to buy if your into outdated aero bikes...hopefully at some point in the not soo distant future the world will straighten itself out and come back to grips with normality............This ones got this old fool...thinking..

  • first red flag is the description...or lack of...and gears..wheres the gears????

  • The second red flag..is the price? seems like a kinda fire sale...
  • and 
  • third..is the all the shit in the background...kinda creepy....
  • my game plan on the transaction of this set up...first meet up in a safe well lit area...second ..low ball the fuc outta them cuz i believe they will take whatever they can get for it...

third...stash it for a year or so..cuz its probably hot as hell....

The way We Were


 The Tail-end Birmingham 

This past Sunday,






 Base Media athlete Ralph Buckingham teamed up with 7 other riders in a world record breaking ride from Sturgis to Sault Ste. Marie that saw them go 367.6 Miles in 15:56, an average of 23.1mph, shattering the current record of 19:48. Ralph is one of our new members to the team but that hasn’t stopped him from making a huge impact on our rides and on the record books. Great job Ralph and the other 7 riders that made a little history on a cold Michigan morning!







 Putting a cowboy hat and bandana on your dog can be cute and highly therapeutic but it makes you a real asshole.
