And So it goes

I'm sure by now everyone has stopped checking this site. Good then, it worked! Now I can say whatever the hell I want to without hearing any bullshit for it. Ha!

Protein shakes, beer, eratic training habits....That pretty much sums me up right now. Cutting weight for the season, trying to get fit and stay there. Shit, its enough to drive you crazy. Short trip for me I guess.

Got another kid coming out in May. Like I don't have enough on my plate. It will be fun. Its a boy this time. Hopefully, I can keep it together enough to keep riding my bike. I feel like all is against me staying on my bike. Oh, well.... I don't really care. Life is good and i got it made.

Hodge is not dead. Thats good. I thought for sure he would freeze to death at a rest stop aboard that broken down Mazda he was drivin somewhere in North Dakota. He didn't and that is very good. I hate to loose my friend like that. Actually, hes doing great. Having fun and getting to see alot of our great country. Bastard!!!! Well, I drank the last growler of Yazoo with Mattycakes so there....!

Pop is doing great as well. He got a new Harley on some sick deal they had going. He is really happy with it. We went on a 5 hour ride on Sunday and had a blast. He did say that he needed to change the seat and the bars and it would be perfect. Thats how you shake em down. Ride em and figure out what need changing.

Life at the shop is good. Not getting rich but, paying the bills. So far the new lord and savior of the USA hasn't done shit for business. Good thing I don't count on our govmnt for what I need. I just hope he doesn't get us all killed or worse, enslaved in a communist state of depression. As far as I'm concerned the lunatics are in the halls.........

Well, there is your dose of Code Red. Now go ride your bike, drink your liquor and don't call me bitching about anything. All you'll get from me is a swift kick in the junk.

Hey, don't forget this Saturday at Fort Yargo. All of our awesome friends have organized a benefit ride for Hodgie. It will start at high noon and go on until they kick us outta the park for riding naked thru the woods at high rates of speed while drunk. Or something like that.

Pop update: Well he has finally gone off the deep end of the deep end. His old war buddy Eddie is up this week. Geezus Chrissssttt!! As Eddie would say. These two are armed and dangerous. Eddie smokes more Cigars that they can make in a day in cuba and Pop can out drink any of us including Ron White on comedy night....Straight out. I've tried on many accounts to out drink Pop. But, I'm sad to say I must train for many more years before I can hold my shit together like that. Anyway, Eddie might be the craziest person I have ever met. Yep, I like em. I don't think that man takes anything seriously other than his guns and Cigars. Nice!!!! I have been having a good time watching these two all week. Quite the show I must admit. The term Plausable deniability comes to mind.......

Da Shop!! Well, its on fire as usual. I am missing the Hodge exchanges so I call the prick on the regular. What a pain in the neck!! Ha!! I dragged him outta the house the other day and we went to Pops place. He had been off the pain meds for a few days and was in a damn pain coma. Didn't want to go no where... So I went over and loaded him up. Anyway, he threw some hot wings and beer down his trap and I think he felt pretty good about it. Pop and I had a good time entertaining him with our archery practice for a few hours and then I took him home to rest.

Mattycakes has been coming around and volunteering his help around the shop. Man, I can't tell you what that means. Shit, when your friends step up and help in way that you can't begin to imagine. It makes it all worth it! We have had so many folks helping out, organizing, cooking, etc. I don't have the words. I would list everybody and say thank you's but, I would leave someone out and feel like an asshole. So, thanks!

Oh, if your in Tucker and need yo bike worked on. Stop by Bikeways and see Buddy. One cool phuckin dude!! So go spend so money in his sto!!!!

Whack!!!

Well, most of you know whats goin on here and it sucks!! If you don't know, read the front page of our website. Scott, is doing well and is expected to make a recovery in 3-6 months. It will be a tough road but, he is very fortunate. Most others in his position haven't had a recovery option. It has been a very tough year as most of you know so this has come as the third punch. Ouch! Of course these things are never welcomed even when times are perfect.

Scott, his family and I have been overwhelmed from all the positive response from our biking community. Thank you so much for all your support. It is really nice to know that this come full circle when they need to. Again Thank you to all. If you feel inclined to do something for Scott call me or donate thru the paypal link that Namrita setup.

Current update on Scott:
They are currently releasing him from the hospital and he will be home tonight. He will be very tired I am sure so give him some time to settle in before you go by please. Feel free to call the shop if you want more info. I should be here.

Supa Dope

Ok. So our SS kits are here and you are gonna have to fight me to get yours. Holy crap, these things are freaking awesome!!!! I'm gonna have to stop drinking beer and get faster so I can rock this kit the way it deserves. Badass....


Nice to see some rain. We need it fo sho. It should calm down the dust for this weekends dirty spokes race. Yes, I am going, no I'm not racing (I'm drinking beer......again). Stop by and hang out for a bit. It should be real fun.

Well, my coffee press exploded this morning and I burned the shit outta my hand with hot coffee.. Nice! Turns out that when I adjusted my coffee grinder to a finer setting (per a local expert) it clogged up the strainer and when I pressed it boom! Shit! Wasted some fine coffee and burned myself. Hey, at least I get to ride my bike this weekend.

Look out for POPS place on our front page here soon. That will be a barrel of laughs. I'm making a page for Pop and it is gonna be cool yo!

Well... see you tomorrow.

Someone needs to reach across the isle and beat the shit out of somebody. A house divided against itself....

Well, I'm not gonna rant about all the crap going on. I'll will leave that to the media and the jerks on Capitol hill that got us here in the first place.

I got a better idea. Ride your bike and smile cause your saving alot of money and you are withdrawing some of that fat stored in your physical bank from drinking all that beer. Last time I checked, there is no shortage on beer and thus you have all the fuel you need to get around on your bikes.

Interbike is over thank God. Now, we can order stuff and actually do business. Ya know, shows are cool but, crap! Everytime Interbike comes around, it shuts down the bikeshop business for at least a phucking week. Hey, but what the hell. Lets just have a big party and waste a bunch of money.......Whatever! Yea, we are so green and we ride bikes and we are cool marketing whores! Woohoo! Ah the hipocracy of it all. Makes me want to start making my own bike parts and selling them and give the finger to all these money grubbing, mine is betta than yours assholes.

Just remember, no matter where you go....there you are!

Yo!

Whats up? How ya feelin? Really? Cool, I feel good too. Had a good ride on my racer boy BMC this morning. Nice outside it is. I still hate traffic and I cannot wait to get into the woods again. I think I'll jerk on of those fancy new vassago frames off the wall and built that bitch.. October 25th.. What happens then. Well that day ends with me kicking your ass, just remember that......

Shop is good. Been having lots of fun lately. Building wheels frames selling all sorts of stuff to a lot of really good people. You cannot beat that...

Are you going to interbike? That seems to be the question I get everyday. The answer is hell no. I can stay home and drink beer with a bunch of pansies, why would I fly all the way to vegas to do that? Besides, that show is too corporate for my style. If you are going, have fun. Just remeber that you are a pansy..... Ha! so there!! I'll be riding my bike and I will be that much fitter than you...........Pansy.....

Single speed championships are this weekend. Be there or be square yo! Am I racing it you ask? Well, I don't race. I often ride my bike with other people that pay to ride the trail. So I will be doing that... ha!! Drunk..and maybe naked so don't miss out on that.

Ok, I am putting this at the bottom because I didn't want to start out on a bummer. Jerry Reed passed away.. A real bummer. I always thought that Johnny Cash and Jerry Reed would live for ever and that they couldn't die. Well, I guess they were so tuff that they decided they wanted to go kick the devils ass...... I sure hope they don't get the chance.....

So raise a coors and shout Goodbye Turkey!! I hope to meet them one day so I can kick their asses......

Last week of summer?

What the hell? That went by fast. We been so busy at the shop I hadn't thought about the fact that fall is like tomorrow or something.

So we have 8 18"Jabberwokys in the shop and 2 16"s. Nice. Funny thing is that the phone was blowing up for these things for months and now that we have em.......crickets! Funny. People are like fish, they are either biting or they are not.. What is even funnier is that I will probably sell all these in one day and the phone will blow up again. Ha! We got some of them fancy adjusters they upgraded to as well. Nice...

I can't wait to ride a mountain bike again. I sold mine as I usually do to someone that wanted it and I have been jonesing for 2 months. I like road bikes and all but, the woods is my thing. Maybe, I'll build one of these Jabbers.

So I think the teams are shaping up well. Gonna, be some fun racin this year. Essentially, the process for the teams will be nice this year. You want to be on it, you go to our site and click a link, purchase a kit by a certain date and bam your on it. Your discounts will be driven by the class you race. If you don't race and want to be on it anyway, well fine. You do the same thing and secure your 10% off for the year. You will get a card with your info on it and such. Really cool. Like a really big club with benefits. I'll keep everyone up to date as this rolls out. Should be real soon.

Cheers,
Cody
