O dat poor moter! JWM

I like the pick-up bed idea- maybe even a mini stake bed with polished hardwood slats. JWM

Fear not, we always keep a spot reserved for you. Look forward to seeing you when you can make it. John M

I posted this on the faceborg, and thought I'd share it here. Kudos to Ruth Ann LeRutte, charming wife of RRB member Mad Max 58, for coining the term: *Bikesters* Like all great ideas, it is simple, and so obvious that it leaves you scratching your head, and wondering why you didn't think of...

Imagine all the useless nonsense you're missing out on. Before I had Facebook my life was empty. Now that I have it my life is filled with- uh-er- something or other... :wink: JWM

Holy Cow, it seems like it's been forever since the last ride. But September is (almost) here, the season is winding down, and I'm looking forward to getting together for our last ride of the summer. (Next ride will be the first ride of the fall) Later today I plan on starting a Facebook group...

I can just imagine the noise. OWWWWWWW JWM

From the illustrations I like the Deep Six style frame on the cruisers, but the 29" doesn't do much for me. JWM

Face it, we all love riding outlandish bikes that get attention. The question is, what kind of attention? With this bike you'd get a lot of it, but it would all be people asking you what was the reason for the weird frame. You'd be all the time telling people, "It just looks like that- it...

Stodginess? I beg to differ: http://thecabe.com/vbulletin/forumdispl ... Break-Room Sometimes we get into scientifical stuff like ichthyology, and sea anemones, and clownfish. Now, read the clownfish thread, and tell me if you find a humorous post or two. JWM

No. Made right here in CA. JWM

You sell the Virtue bike in the pic? How does it ride? Is there anything in the seating position, or handling that justifies the odd shape, or is it just an odd shape? JWM

It's on! Alan has already exceeded the Kickstart goal, and around thirty bikes out of a hundred to be built are spoken for. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/553612698/next-generation-cruiser-bicycle-fits-tall-large-ri Now I get to start doing my very favorite thing to hate- waiting. :? JWM

If there is a functional reason for this strange looking frame- say rider comfort, improved ergonomics, better cornering or something, then fine. If it's just another novelty bike- well- it's plain silly looking. Ugly, in other words. JWM

Re: SoCal RatRodRide Aug. 11th Pic Heavy Thank you so much for posting the pics, Max. As per always I didn't get a single useable shot. And thanks to everyone for coming out. It was indeed a great day and a great ride. From the chatter on Facebarf, it sounds like the women are seriously working...

I went for the whole bike with the springer fork. And Alan made the Kickstart goal yesterday, so the bike will definitely go into production. Now I just have to decide on a color. I want something loud, and bright. Screaming, eye-burn yellow, and red maybe... JWM

I'm using a Nexus 8-speed w/coaster brake on my rider. Best hub ever! I can't recommend it highly enough. Go to Amazon for the best deal, or try Niagara Cycles on line. JWM

I've dealt with Alan at Cycles US several times. Great guy making great stuff. And I just love the thought of riding a new American bike. JWM

I've been looking at this project bike for a few weeks. I just went out to Fontana to see it in person. Game over. Final score: Bike- 1 Credit Card- 0. Two more pledges, and it on! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/553 ... ?ref=email JWM

Gasoline. Been using it ever since I was a kid. Haven't put my eye out yet. JWM
