I love the pump track at Ray's.  Bummed I wasn't able to get out there this season.

Currently trying some mild knobbies, for some more adventurous riding.  Might be taking it out west for a few weeks with some friends on their KLRs.

K270's?

I had a riot when I was there. Was in the profile room jump line and had to eject over the bars, and decided to call it a night at that.

Do you go there often? 

Early false summer, Kickapoo state recreation area trails.

I should should probably just update my racing thread.

Picked up this Royal Enfield Scram on Friday.

An interesting experiment. Have yet to ride it, due to the monsoon weather we're having. Never owned a 'new' vehicle or one with an actual factory warranty. 

The Luna Fixed got a tweak last week. I've been playing with various handlebar options, trying to get the ergonomics just right. Finally, I decided to ditch the flat bars. Since it's cosplaying as a fixie, the right choice was obviously bullhorn bars.

Much better. This gives a nice range of hand positions. Looks right, too :) The one challenge was that I had to source a new shifter for the geared hub, but it turns out that Sturmey-Archer makes a thumb shifter for the Shimano 3-speed that looks right and feels beautifully mechanical. It's got a surprising amount of throw, about 45* per gear. Apparently these geared hubs need a lot of cable movement. I also found that the cable in the stock grip shifter was damaged and unraveling, so that would have been a problem before too long. 

I also converted the bike to tubeless tires, which was fairly straightforward once I filed some flats into the aero rims so the valve stems could seal properly. It's now on 700x35 American Classic Kimberlite gravel tires, which are basically a burly and smooth road tire with some tiny nubs on the shoulders. They look right and should be pretty robust.

Pic taken while I was running around on Saturday, riding 6 miles to the ice arena so I could get some skating in before heading back up the mountain to get home.

please do, I'm interested!

Shuttle day at local downhill park. Dirt was absolutely perfect. 

My second winter bike project.      This was a mix of Red, white and black plastics.      My 17yo who is taking autobody classes sanded it all down and gave it a pearl white paint job.

^ Looks like he did a great job.

FB photo link, enjoy for a limited time.

Nice day for it yesterday.  Still trying to get my Italjet's CVT dialed in.  One of these days I'll nail it! (I hope)

Painted a strider bike up for my niece
