My Bum Hurts
Went for an hour and a half ride this morning on my bike. It's obvious I need a different seat

My First Fixie
Finally picked up a bike today. It's an old Schwinn that's a single speed as it sits, but I plan on picking up a cog here soon to do the fixie conversion. I've been a BMXer all my childhood and even now I still ride but I've always wanted to give these things a try. More pics and possibly vids to come in the spring. Number One is on the hunt for one also, or he might just piece one together. Either way I'm stoked to go riding with him.
Pioneer of the Sport Bike
It all started with the FZR. They had the first deltabox frame that all modern sportbikes are modeled after today. The 600 and 1000 models were steel, but the 400 model was aluminum and was the same size making it easy to swap them out for an overall lighter bike. I've personally owned one, and my brother has it now. They aren't the fastest bikes around, but will hang with the best of newer ones. The power doesn't really kick in until high rpm's so you have to gas it up pretty good, but who doesn't like doing that? It's a very narrow bike making it perfect for canyon carving which is where it gets down to business. Yamaha was far ahead of their time. Dual headlight bikes FTW!
Start Em Young
Names Baydoni. He loves to drift and he'll tell you himself. Wonder where he gets that from? Atta boy! ;)
I Wanna Do This
I have a mint set of seats...maybe I will. I originally wanted to make a love seat or some gaming chairs. We shall see.
