Ride the Tiger
Massive Craigslisting efforts have begun. Today Jared sold a bunch of old BMX hats that were scrounged up from the basement at the bike shop and given to me. I didn’t think they’d be worth much, but apparently I was wrong.
Hate to part with this Japanese touring gem. I was initially blinded by it’s beauty and the cheap price, but the reality is that it’s a size too small for me.
Jared also put the salvaged Trek 9000 historic sketchy dualie on Cralgslist and got a few responses. Gawd this bike is so overtly and unapologetically cheesy it’s beautiful. Almost makes me want to keep it.
Update: Sssssssssold for $200!
Speaking of unapologetically cheesy, I’ve had Holy Diver stuck in my head all day. Not sure how it got there.
Holy diver you’ve been down too long in the midnight sea oh what’s becoming of me
Ride the tiger you can see his stripes but you know he’s clean oh don’t you see what I mean?
WTF Is this song is about heroin addiction, Siegfred and Roy, joining a religious cult, Greg Louganis, stealing diamonds, or drowning oneself? I just don’t know. Please inform me if you have more lyrical insight.
This mural was found in Bloomington, IN. It’s a great reason to move to Bloomington.

jeez that panasonic is nice. with a frame that small, it dosen’t matter that it has downtube shifters. Also the hood mounted mirror is cool. 40 spoke wheels… oh yeah.
it’s too nice.
never ridden
if i just got a longer stem and seatpost it would work.
Here’s a longer stem for y’all, possibly a bit too long:

she got a donk.
It has been awhile since I have been to this blog. Six months maybe? So why move to Bloomington,IN? The touring season begins soon, you two could be planning an adventure of many months to unseen locales. With Jared’s computer savy, he could do web design/consulting on the road. A lightweight laptop or netbook would work. Free wireless is available. Set up a paypal account. With a modest income stream at least you won’t have to sleep in culverts and dumpster dive all of the time. A little comfort would keep your enthusiasm alive. Come fall, find a medium size town out west to hunker down, find meaningful work, and save some money. You’ll get a running start for next year!
hey that was my idea!
i totally agree with you. i think we should just ride to tucson so jared can get his teeth fixed in mexico. but i’m not the one making the decisions around here.
