New England B.S. Thread

Christmas is Tuesday, sorta works out perfectly for "treat yo self tuesday" Looks like it's been decided by fate and @Chasespeed has to.

 

Nope, I keep mine about half way and it always seems to stay there.

Don't know if mine does this...I don't use my fog lights much.

 

This was my Christmas present to myself. Inexpensive find on Craigslist. 25 gal, 175 PSI Craftsman Pro Oil-Free. 5.1 SCFM @ 90 PSI.

Figured I got a little nicer and larger used unit for what I would have paid for a new Harbor Freight one. Big step up from the tiny one I had before. Pretty quiet too.

 

Mine just got a new windshield, front brakes, caliper, rear shoes, and will be getting an axle when the rain goes away

 

They do a good job of lighting up the ditches, so I run them most of the time that I'm driving, even when it's not foggy or snowing.

 

I have a similar trek probably not nearly as high speed but it’s a Marlin 7

 

What size tires

 

Got a few bottles of win and a $75 Amazon gift card from various sales mangers I've helped with stuff over the year .

Now, what to spend the gift card on..

 

I’m really easy
I tell my wife all I want is my fishing licenses
And she her perfume

 

That's what I do for my brother, father and my close friend.


....almost $150 later in NH now. Assholes.


In other news...L.L. Bean sales are killing it right now

 

I need a new pair of boots. Worn clean through my soles on both... my feet are cold and wet. Guess I’ll get myself a thoughtful and utilitarian Christmas present this year! Glad someone loves me.

 

Yall suck are as bad as my wife...

Like that?

29er.

I was back and forth on the 27.5+, or the 29er. Very happy with my other 29, so...

However, didn't take into account the different axles, etc. Guess I have till spring to sort THAT out.

Fuel EX8

 

Yup just like that! Also love that fuel though that’s a nice one. If I had more coin to drop on a bike I’d like to pick up a full suspension

 

Pushed a remedy for a long time. And a fuel. And a fsr, then a stump jumper (liked the fsr more) and a few more.

All that has to be old tech but now .

 

Resistance is futile...you always need +1 bike.

 

Yeah, I was getting after it harder than I thought I would... started looming at droppers, and other upgrades.
Was discussing stuff with my LBS... blah blah.

Worked out. Stoked. My buddy is trying to get me out monday for a proper break-in.
And I still have my Marlin. Not getting rid of it...

Yeah, tech seems to change with the bikes almost as fast as actual tech.

Funny, while my 1220 is getting long in the tooth, its still plenty viable. Though, I am sick of dealing with 700/23 tires(new england roads SUCK). My shop is gonna take a crack at seeing if 28s or 32s will clear everything.
If not, i may snag a gavel bike in a year or so....

 

I got an old pic somewhere of me and my Huffy( circa 1978) funny as hell

 

@Skierrichy made it to Va..

 

Food looks excellent

 

I concur
Had this burrito at a place called Cazadores in Tyngsboro MA
