Once you get your wools "wet" you have permanently fucked them for life. There is no way they will ever iron out again. Does rain ruin them? I haven't ever had them wrecked even when pretty soaked by rain. The dryell is steam. They don't even get damp..They desperately needed a freshening. Dryell won't freshen shit then. You need a liquid to do that. Dry solvent preferred since the fabric won't soak ANY of it up. Once wool becomes wet/dry it has stretched and deformed. They stopped smelling like sweaty balls and came out cleaner looking.Thank you for the info though I didn't know wool was wrecked that bad after getting wet. Steam is ok though? It is actually the act of drying that creates the biggest problem. Rapidly changing the fiber structure.Wool you can wash is pre-washed before making a garment. Wool you cannot is not. Meaning if the fibers change your garment changed. Thanks! I know it's just a bad idea to let it get wet in general. I have had some giant rough wool sweaters that were amazing in the rain. The stayed warm when wet, and almost had a natural rain repellant quality. Irish wool I think?

I am just amazed.

Congrats!!!

Not bad around the lakes or crocus hill at night. The river run is awesome too. But yes, you don't want to ride in traffic.

I'm too old to fall off a crotch rocket. Or to get hit with an invisible wire some fucker strung across his ditch to snag sledders. One of my old coworkers got caught by an unflagged wire on some farmers property. Dialed 911 but couldn't breathe much less talk, raced the 15 min home(thank god he was close) somehow, collapsed in the driveway. EMS was able to intubate in time. He cannot laugh properly, talk properly, and lost 30 pounds from not being able to oxygenate his muscles properly. Seriously? That is fucking awful. Yup. Just outside big lake area. Farmer was fined a little bit. Nothing worth the damage the guy had. He was already a runt too. He was seriously feebled for life from it. Until they come up with fake throats, he is basically fucked with a narrow tube. Seems to me the farmer is completely liable. That is malicious.That being said, my buddy nearly fucked himself up running into a barb wire fence. But he was where he wasn't supposed to be. I leave the beaten path, but only if I really know where or there are tracks. farmer paid out big. It was not a true public trail though.

This is among the first opinions I hear pro-race bike as a beginner bike. Everybody says start out small etc etc. Don't get me wrong, it just makes me curious as to how you can handle all risks of a race bike. I wouldn't recommend it as a first bike. But I was able to ride a cruiser and a sports bike. The cruiser didn't stop when I wanted to on a ride and I almost ended up in an intersection where a big sedan went through the a red light. Sports bikes come in all power levels, just like cars. The suspension, braking, ride style is all independent of the top speed and acceleration. You can even get a bike that is less than 250 but set up for race style. Finally, if someone is going to ride on streets with cars, riding on dirt with no-one around you is going to make you learn things that do not apply to pavement. Especially if someone eventually wants to ride a road bike. A dirt bike will teach you horrible muscle memory.

You are also going to chastise me. I tried that dryel stuff again. I am pretty impressed with it's "cleaning" abilities. Working 6 days a week had made it impossible to get to the cleaners, and I am down to one pair of wools as I sent the rest in for tailoring. I know it isn't ideal, but in a pinch it seems to work.

Sean, I want you to know that the Steelcase leap is just about the best chair I have ever been in when it comes to office/task chairs. It's been a few months now, and while I could definately have the higher piston due to my absurd desk height, this chair is awesome. Worth a test, especially considering it is the cheepest I tried. The humanscale would be a close second, but it doesn't have a lock in any position. It looks better, and has a sweet system, but I'm so disproportionately heavy, it leans back too much for me.

God damn power supply fan is going on me. RMA on the way. Thank god this one is a hybrid where it doesn't need the fan. The 200mm above it helps cool it even more too.

have you ever pedaled in them? I have. Bad news.

on a night this gorgeous. You are off your game. I'm rocking shorts and a t shirt, and nothing else. I may just sit outside a while tonight and have a stogie.

Oh fuck. I wrote a really thoughtful post on how I agree with dirt being safer then the machine crashed. I'm fairly certain more people die racing off road than even in the fastest GP races, and they definitely break more bones and cripple more people. But racing and riding on the road are completely different. Hence why if you can stay off the road with your bike, more power to you. I cannot, and riding a dirt bike will teach you the wrong muscle memory for riding a sports bike. With cars around you, that could kill you if you are new to riding. I think Julian said he has had a road bike, so it's kind of a moot statement. All I can say is don't do it. But if you do, practice in completely empty lots with fast stops and starts, go with a friend in case you get hurt. Always wear a helmet, and armor if you can. Gloves too. A little kevlar on the knucks goes a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way on pavement. Just don't be the D-bag squid in board shorts, shades, and flip flops racing around.
