A Guide to Fishsticks

[unclefishstick]

well,guess i will make another batch of bubble while i wait to hear from the bike shop that my frame is in...

yup jb,i like the purple and pink myself...but even other riders dont get my color match OCD,and for that matter even i think i go too far with it,but what the heck i say,at least my bikes arent boring...and not like they are just wall ornaments...

 

[Jbomber79]

I know my bike sucks! But it does what I need it to do! I passed through the chili capital of the world the other day...

 

[unclefishstick]

naw,you just need to ride it more is all...
on many levels i really believe the bike is the least important part of the whole thing,as long as you have a connection to your bike and feel like you and the bike are working together it really doesnt matter what you're riding...
for me all the shiny bits and the obsessive cleaning are just things that connect me more deeply to each bike..ideally i want the bike to sort of disappear beneath me as i ride,the last thing i need is to actually think about the bike while im riding it.they need to function flawlessly...so yeah,i tend towards nit-picky perfectionism...if something isnt working for me i have no problem switching stuff out,and if your going to replace may as well upgrade...and if it happens to come in different colors why not make it unique?

I find your color combinations spot on...good stuff. Having a quiver of bikes (or boards or shoes or herb varieties) to choose from is priceless.

i agree that its a bit excessive on many levels...except for one thing...i ride the piss outta my bikes...each one has pushed me that much farther,helped me get that much stronger and more confident...im so much healthier in mind and body now than when i started...




straggler is in the house!
gonna take a nap and not wear myself out,still feeling a bit sick...hopefully the build goes smoothly...

Finely some talk about something that involves getting high

 

[Smokin Joe]

Well the suspense got the better of me so I called my po again today and told him I was mistaken about the fishing trip date and it's not till next month. He said that was fine and just bring him the info a week head of time. I then asked him about the appointment we missed and he said that he was in talking with his supervisor about me at the moment and everything thing looked good. Some others shit about me being on 1/4ly so I had another 3 months and he would let me know. Sooooooo I'm gonna finish this dooby and maybe a few more anyone wanna join me

 

[dansbuds]

[unclefishstick]

hey unc, with all the money you've spent, don't you own that doggone bike shop yet?

 

[wildgrow]

36 pages already - so much for catching up.

Now that you say glitter, that's exactly what that bike needs. A nice stick-to-your-cheeks glitter banana seat - with a highrise sissy bar on the back.

Im up for a puff - 1st of the day. Been spreading mulch all day and the body is feeling it. Only 50 yards or so to go.

Take care of whats ailing you Unc. You've only got 1 body - not counting the ones in the freezer chest.

your uhhhhh .... quite in touch with your feminine side i see

 

[unclefishstick]

no,i just support the mechanics drinking habits!....and pay the building rent,and electric bill,and....

heck,there was a trek domain getting a set of 2500 dollar wheels while i was there...that bike alone cost more than my 5 bike collection,and all it does is go fast on the road!
i can go virtually anywhere its even vaguely reasonable to ride a bike,and many places its not so reasonable to ride....and get a good deal of cargo just about anywhere i can get to...
