    Can confirm. Finally finished my instant coffee and moved on to better stuff. They didn't plumb a bathroom or break room into our new shipping area so I have to resort to becoming a mini barista.

    Good advice from your dad. The problem with many bicyclists today is they either don't know that the rules of the road apply to them or they don't care. We also see many people on recreational trails riding at speeds that exceed their skill level, especially on e-bikes. If there were an unexpected situation how would they possibly respond and keep the shiny side up?

    The only correct answers are whisky throttle and target fixation. :bikewheelie:

    What kind of fancy ass coffee are you guys into that you consider $20/lb affordable?

    Is this a result of Starbucks making $5 for a cup of coffee seem normal?

    In fairness this is weekend coffee for me and not my daily goto. The big difference being these are specialty coffee roasters that work directly with farmers to source the beans and vary the roasts accordingly.
    My daily goto is Torke classic roast which is $10 for 13oz can but can be found on sale from time to time and is available at my local grocer. A lot of times Ida finds something on sale and I get stuck with that.

    At work we have Torke coffee. They actually deliver it.
    Growing up in Sheboygan if the wind was right we could smell the Torke coffee plant. Always wondered if the smell was from roasting the beans or burning them.

    I am amazed that none of you hooligans comment on the fact that a short box flatly had (9) nine bikes loaded. I mean that is a lot of bikes for any format. Must be just getting used the the amazing…

    I think most of us are just in awe of the whole thing and left speechless most of the time. Plus it’s hard to count all the way up to 9. :rofl:

    Not sure why I never thought about it before, but is your flatbed the same length as the stock shortbed to the exterior of the tailgate? Or is it slightly shorter/longer?
