Plastic and metal welding in the same day? Oh boy!!!!
This was from Labor Day weekend. We rode around for a couple of hours south of the Sequoia National Forest. The southern tip of the Sierra Nevada mountain range and the Walker Basin near the Lake Isabella and the Kern River provided stunning vistas and great back roads. The weather was warm in the valleys,…

Assisting with tasks and suggestions, but not really capable of the machine learning and content creation that current AI is capable of handling. Enter…

Welcome to Episode 341. On this episode Junky is befouled by employees at the Burbank studios. The conversation cruises around: Is N+1 actually the best ratio?

Here is a new little tune I wrote. I have some lyrics too, but I might use it for the show, maybe not. Felt cute, might put out an album next year.
Today is Monday. The weather is finally not in the triple digits. As a matter of fact, I thought it might rain up on Angeles Crest Highway (The 2). I appreciate you and I appreciate this weather. Thank you patrons. I hope it’s sunny and perfect riding/wrenching weather wherever you are.
Welcome to Episode 340 of Creative Riding. Kim has an important message about Grips and Lube. Does Chain Lube actually matter? If you’re rich or a racer, NO! If you’re poor, ironically yes. It “extends the life of your chain, but by how much? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiTpiF3WFic • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnPYdcbcAe0 • Get your Solstice Slam submission (D.U.M.B. entrance…

Enjoy a peaceful morning in the cool country air next to a hillbilly hot tub. We’re about to eat breakfast and hit the trails.
