I was thinking of a day ride but the new landlord is refurbishing the apartment below mine (I'm not sleeping well)...they start at 7:30 am...bang bang thud drill drill rasp rasp....new doorway, new drywall...6-7 days a week for the benefit of the next Tennant. I don't think I could lift the stuff they have been working with let alone get up early enough to arrive at work at 7:30 am. Just turned 2100 km on the Monster. The clerk at the 24 HR Dunkin doesn't seem impressed at 11:30 pm. Dining area is closed... please leave after making your purchase.....I think it's a bloody hate flash over nothing. You have the right idea...keeping your riding on private property. Commuter Rail riding (with the Monster next to my seat) sometimes gets awkward with 'what is it' types of questions or stares.

A number of riders, including myself, find that riding the EUC (without falling or trying to learn to ride backwards) helps to reduce the aggravation of lower back problems. I was looking at a doctors review of a CT scan run a year ago. His comments included an interpretation of the spine results. Anatomical issues seem to be evident but my ignorance of some of the terms used and spinal locations referenced on the spine was lacking a clear perspective of what the doctor was describing. I probably could have improved my desk posture twenty + years ago and not tossed my scuba gear (80 cubic foot cylinder) over my head with the shoulder harness ready to capture the tank.?. It's really good to see you practising your EUC riding skills on the 18 inch wheel....a potential 50 million dollar rider! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novazeus Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 i still think these little machines can be a good source of personal transportation like in what i’m trying to pull off herenext to the outlet mall ans all the newest restaurants and bars being built across the creek from me. i’m sure a lot of wheel riders would love to live in a live-work-play type of community that was geared towards multi use path travel as opposed to highways. might be perfect timing. the tech is getting better, anybody can learn using handrails, just go back and forth until ur so bored u go outside the handrails, and 10 mph is a pretty safe speed if ur halfway coordinated and pay attention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the nude sketch(s) I made (and deleted) on my tablet before I left.... Well ...it was enjoyable to do (NSFW) as the carpenters below did their job and got paid for their work.

Popular Post Smoother Posted February 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2018 On the approach to Beachy Head, Sussex, UK. It' s all grass and rabbit burrows around there. The lighthouse is about 43m and the cliff above it is about 172m. People have been committing suicide here for hundreds of years. I believe there is a 100% success rate, so no "cry for help" need apply. There is actually a Chaplin/Samaritan service at the top to help those poor people who feel death is the only answer. I think the next time I go up there (probably this weekend) I'll bring my leash out of retirement. There are places where if I came off, the wheel could easily roll over the edge; especially as a majority of the land slopes down to the cliff edge. Not me, just the wheel, if it takes off on a roll. These shots are with the factory tire (pre 2.5" mod). 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then roughed up the surface (that attaches to the helmet) with ~80-grit sandpaper. Using high-strength double-sided tape, I stuck the mirror to the side of the helmet. The connection has been holding very firm for a few weeks now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
