“business is comunication. the two words mean the same thing!”

tell me whats up.    time.     vacations.     cosabilities…. etcetrA

the fan will be hit full on and there will be no media coverage.

Last fall on an indian summer eve i decidec to go for a ride, being an anxious person with some sleep issues, not a bad idea. i cruze into boston go down the river, stop a couple of times to chill out and look  at the sky line. I then decide to go to the Commons to also ” chill”

when i was a kid back in the 70’s the Common was VERY  sketchy….but i would go there with my dad and my brother and talk to all the freaks…….this night was no diff….i saw these homless..border line crack head  / dudes hang out and decided to roll into there camp , stop and say hello….. now, i’m riding a early 1990’s hand made Italian Moser with all Dura Ace components. SWEET BIKE!!

WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?

i’m hangin.   dude #1 was, basicaly, the alpha male….he did all the talkin . well he and I did.

the other 2 were eyen’ me up for a roll ,

guy 1 asks if i got a knife , i respond no.” no?” he says …probably thinking i’m carryin somthing bigger…. conversation goes back to bable of weather, the beer were drinkin etc. now the guys start to look at my bike. ” nice lookin bike ” etc etc….i get a bit nervious  , distanc my self, have at hand my U lock….but hey nothing went down cept a few beers and random conversation.

woulda sucked to loose that bike though, it really is beautiful!

aahhh the things we do

nite nite…………T

from me? i thought i was just an ornery zen dude.

The SURLY , LONG HAUL TRUCKER! dam nice bike!!! XT hubs  ,DT spokes , Alex  Adventure rims double wall ‘d eylet’d rims. bar end shifters , front and rear rack mounts, triple crank set,  and the ” un heard of ” cromolly frame and fork. this is probably THE best touring/adventure bike on the market for the buc$.

i checked EVERY THING on this bike out of the box….looked like I built the wheels. put the  DT Tensio meter on it ( this a 300 dolla tool to check the tension of spokes ) PERFIK!!hus adjusted,  frame alignment rite on! even the shifting was on. amazing.

if your going to get into real touring                       GET THIS BIKE!

Here’s another Tyler opinion …..lube!   need it ! all you knuckle heads comin in my doors not realizin’ why your shifting sucks or your chain is ” makin’ noise “  LUBE       the product i’ve been using on all my standard commuter bikes and friends bikes for about 7 months  AWSOME     It’s called   ( now hold on,,, HA ha )  CHAIN-L #5  ( sure dont smell like perfume though..)  “1000 miles before reapplication”     so far ive gotin’ about 400 on my winter beater, OH  and my beach bike  SURLY  PUGSLEY( ofcourse )   a bike i ride the sand,&  i havnt applied in 6 0r 7 monts,,,not huge milage but , it does NOT collect crud , or in this case sand! not the best for dearilur pivots or pully’s but on the chain fantastic!

there ya are, 2 nuts in a shell……………..T
