like lose some of extra weight in the back  ....

cat fight!    But look out mrs minnesotamonster, Mo scratches...he learned it from his cat! 

At least the cat is good for something...unlike Mo;)

I'm one step closer to getting off the bike!! Two if you count the bike that we're supposed to be fixing for me that is still 4 miles away:)

About $160k.

They use this technique quite a bit in Nodak.  They could use an asphalt compactor to embed the pea rock into the top coat but it would crush it making it less effective. 

I'm sorry to say that MN (along with many other states) doesn't have the funds to do much for road construction this year, the stimulus package requires the state to match the federal contribution.

Glad to here you and the mrs. are ok.  The bike and be fixed easily, you....not so much.

Keep an eye out everyone and ride safe

$160k, plus a person to drive it.... hmm.

Maybe we buy one for MADDOG and just have one of the members drive the steamroller along the group ride routes before we leave?

Schwanger, can you get us a corporate discount?

I think ur forgetting one more step .... like learn how to ride 

Hey come on now, I said one step closER, I never said I was there!

Maybe if someone wasn't too busy in the garage sanding and painting and sanding and painting and pouting, I'd have someone to show me a thing or two;)

Hey!  I'm trying to put the damn thing back together. Give me a break. Don't know why I just sanded a damn exhaust tip for 2 hours when I could have just bought a new one for $25       I sanded down and repainted the mirror arm, I think it looks ok, I'll take some pics and let you guys decide. 

So I don't really want to wait until my new pedal gets here, What's a good way to bend the pedal back to its original position? Just whack it with a rubber mallet? Tried that, didn't work too well. Heat it up?

I'm pissed about the pea gravel, but what do you do. I don't blame anything on the city. They had signs out, etc. I've honestly never heard about that method of "repaving" before though

Loose gravel is not quite the same thing as "gravel pit."

Mo, I don't really know what else to do to get rid of all the weight in the back. I thought the "accident" would do it, but it didn't seem to phase her much

This was supposed to be my bike...why he felt the need to beat it up, I don't know.

And we were actually online at different times...he had to chat during his garage breaks while coats of paint were drying...we haven't actually spoken TO each other;)

A vise + hammer might work.  If you have a new one on the way, what's the worst thing that could happen?

If I'm going to drive an asphalt compactor you're going to have to give me a head start, damn thing only does 12 mph.

I don't know if I get the discount....I'm technically a contractor
