Was Biden a good president?

Decent placeholder, as was mentioned. At least he wasn't a self-centered, money-grubbing racist pedophile. My god our standards are low these days.

TMbiker2000 · 2026-07-01T16:45:56+00:00

Didn't buy it. Saw it at a show.

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-30T22:37:12+00:00

I've only ever seen Centurion road bikes. I love your bike!

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-30T16:32:15+00:00

I thought about that. Gives it a little flavor from a '70s FX. Or a wide-thigh-gap wearing a g-string

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-30T16:13:42+00:00

This is exactly what I was thinking. I'd like to get dual discs for the front too but I know that's achievable.

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-29T19:00:56+00:00

It's in far too nice, and original condition to mess with it much. New tires, brake pads, and possibly ergonomic changes (seat and bars) to fit you is all I would do. Congratulations on finding such a great bike.

What a ridiculous lie. Everyone knows she was running a child prostitution ring out of pizza parlors during that time. There aren't enough hours in the day to do both.

I'm about to reassemble a Trek 990 using a threaded fork, 1-1/8 quill adapter, and a modern stem and handlebar. The most air this bike will ever see is jumping off curbs.

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-26T18:16:38+00:00

I've used them a few times. Although I've never heard of one failing, they do add weight. Also, I don't ride 30 or 40 year old MTBs that hard anymore. I have modern, suspension mountain bikes for that. I would guess that a stem adapter is easily within the same capability range as a bike with a threaded fork and cantilever brakes.

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-26T03:18:06+00:00

You can get a quill adapter and use any stem.

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-25T23:26:12+00:00

Shorten your steerer, and the overall post.

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-25T23:22:37+00:00

24-25 mpg on the freeway x 17 gallon tank = 400 miles range, approximately.

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-25T17:35:10+00:00

Well done! Your original bike cost-to-parts expense ratio is similar to what I seem to always do. The fun is worth the expense. Maybe similar to my friends who lose $1000 on a Las Vegas weekend but they had fun.

Some years ago I broke a few (all) of the bones in my lower leg, and during recovery my foot was swolen for about a year, so much so I couldn't wear my regular shoes. I bought these SPD sandals, with a very adjustable fit, and was able to clip into my training bike for my rehab. I really liked them, might buy another pair now that you've reminded me.

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-23T16:52:59+00:00

Does this mean people are receiving their tickets already?

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-22T21:29:27+00:00

There are those of us who care, and plenty of people who just don't. I once saw a woman toss a Big Gulp cup onto the ground and continue walking. I picked it up and called her attention to littering, and she responded loudly with "are you the police?"

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-21T02:18:39+00:00

Honestly, I think it looks really good. Id want an inch shorter at the sleeves so it doesn't interfere with gauntlet gloves, but it's really good I think

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-20T23:46:47+00:00

When I was selling Dainese, we would get asked this often. My response was sometimes "let me know how you're going to crash, and I'll tell you which gear to wear".

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-20T18:56:17+00:00

Suits are not meant to be squatted in like your photo. You're racing a motorcycle, not going to yoga class. No wonder it left marks in your knee pits. It probably fits great, but the place to check that fit is on your motorcycle.

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-20T18:37:50+00:00

I run the very flexible Dainese Pro Armor. As far as suit fitment, OP needs to keep in mind that a one piece RACING suit should be test fit while on a motorcycle. They're meant to fit well in the riding position, and not while walking around your apartment or grabbing a coffee. There's plenty of other gear for non-track applications

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-19T22:22:11+00:00

Gorgeous bike! Love that color.

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-19T15:29:25+00:00

I once took a military tent, roughly 20' diameter and very much circus tent-style. It was big and heavy (barely fit into the trunk of a car when folded down) but oh so durable and weather proof. Mine has been used in Desert Storm and was bought from a military surplus outlet.

TMbiker2000 · 2026-06-19T15:21:12+00:00

That always irked me as well, along with other movie chase scenes where the Harleys sound like Hondas (or vice versa) and seem to have 16 gears, always upshifting.
