    Schwinn Varsity Party Bike

    I had a license at the time, but sometimes it was just a lot better not to drive! I had the "Bamboo Suicide Scooter" back in 78-82. It was an ex 10 speed made single speed by a friend and painted like bamboo with one side pull caliper brake in the rear. It was just all of what you described!

    I'm pretty sure I see Bigfoot lurking in the background just behind the seat post!

    Some old builds

    Reminds me of the tank slapper that helped me brake my poor little virgin (adult unfortunately) front teeth back somewhere at the end of the 60's!

    Girthy Gerty

    With fire in the background, it looks as if you are doing a ritual of some sort. I like the workplace vibe! (from a long line of blacksmiths, but not me)

    Guitar Players: Show us yours!

    I wish I had been as loving as your grandfather was. That is a lovely thing!

    Guitar Players: Show us yours!

    But now thinking back, I have no problem with "fauxtina" on my ride or others so what the heck do I know? Not much for sure, and that's why I'm here!

    Guitar Players: Show us yours!

    Thanks Swampthing, you are so right. Buying new but old looking stuff is lame, like the "pre-stressed" jeans that doctors/lawyers etc. wear with holes in them as if it were cool. I wore my jeans down because we were broke! I wore this poor bass down to its present state through years of...

    A Lengthy Insanity

    Wow! 88f degrees here every day, you get used to it but still can get up to 36c some days. Anyway I get up at 6:30 am to lift some weights and get a ride before there are too many reasons to stay at home! Cheers!

    Just a peak at how rat my poor old P-Bass (w/ a J-Bass pickup mod) is. Born in '77 and lived a hard life. With me since '83. This bass has juju!

    Bamboozle

    My wife makes pancit (pangsit here in Bali) that rocks my world! Not exactly health food, but that's what the pedals are for!

    Ne'er-do-well *Deluxe*

    BLO might look great on your ride. In Bali it is quite humid and the BLO coat on my bike is holding strong, although I'm happy to re apply once a year!

    A Lengthy Insanity

    What have you got there? Looks a bit Red Oscarish at a glance. I miss the monsters (Arawana and Fire Eel esp.) in the middle of my living room. Cheers!

    Getting to Know Matti

    I was in a band called Dot3; we were more like the Minutemen with more funk, or the Big Boys out of Austin. We were based in SF and San Jose, and we never were more than a local "cult" band. DOA were awesome. We did a cover of their Edwin Starr cover of War (What is It Good For") and funked it...

    Getting to Know Matti

    I fondly remember O'Keefe's Extra Old Stock ( High Test Eh!) from punk rock tours into your lovely BC back in the 80's!

    What's cooking?

    Cooking vegan chili: kidney beans, water, thai chilis, sheephead chilis (devil chilis), sweet Italian chilis, cayenne chilis, garlic, onions, cherry tomatoes, roma tomatoes, olive oil, oregano, black pepper, kosher salt. This is because of economics only! Ground beef is the most welcome addition...

    What's cooking?

    Vegetarian Bean Burritos with whole wheat tortillas and salsa, all homemade. Where I live we have great fresh food and way overpriced imported goods, so it is cheaper and healthier to make it yourself. By necessity I can do just about anything but make cheese by now!

    What's cooking?

    Just had a smoked chicken and cheese sub on a homemade baguette with homemade dill pickles, tomato & lettuce. Plus a few squirts of olive oil and starfruit vinegar sauce. Put a smile on my face!
