Best looking Hondas ever, '87 to '95 CRX & these hatch/mini wagons. I miss cars that look like cars.

i sympathize with you guys who have kids. it's got to be so much harder right now, and those who live in apartments, and condo's, oi, it's gotta be tough. we live in a small house, but i won't complain because it's merely small, not tiny. 

i'm riding a fair bit. not supposed to, the trail networks are discouraging it, but i am. many of us are here on the mid Island. mostly just myself or with my wife. haven't been on any kind of group ride since last fall. 

for what it's worth, i know some truly unhappy, nay utterly miserable people. my buddy lives in a 12,000 sq foot Shaughnessey mansion (no mortgage, ultra high net worth) and his wife is a monstrous cunt of a witch. she get's more miserable by the day and makes his life hell. i guess it's tough all over when you haven't worked in a decade and don't have to think about how you will ever retire and what that life will look like. life at the top of the kingdom is harder than you think it is. deciding which Vancouver healer guru to give all your husbands income to is a tough decision and as i've discovered, there are A LOT of Vancouver healer gurus to choose from!

So much gold! Obscure, made for TV John Candy movie quote of the day: "Hondo does everybody!"

On Netflix, Black Mirror. Five seasons exploring the dark side of technology w/something for everyone, plus an interactive movie set in the eighties loaded w/Easter eggs from the 5 seasons. You can even find a road map online to choose the correct path to get a hidden gem at the end for programmers who know their programming history.

Guest star stand outs include Ritchie Cunningham's daughter & surprisingly Achy Breaky Hearts's daughter.

I recommend watching the series first as the movie is set years later. At least one of the series original actors passed before the movie finally got made. It is a modern atrocity the series didn't last longer when new.

Thread bump!

Strongly considering a Trials moto  

Who sells and stocks a large selection of Gaerne (first choice) or Sidi boots in the GVRD or S2S region? 

Should I get a pair of Trials boots or are most people just using a SX or Enduro pair?

Most will insist you need the flexibility of a Trials boot to fully achieve your potential both on the bike & walking around in the woods while scoping out your potential line.

Any boot is fine to start.

Fortnine has free shipping & good prices for the boots you want.

that's the reason i don't have kids (also not liking them)

Agreed, I also did my part, no offspring. However, my younger sibling has 3 so totally negates my efforts. 

I think humanity is equivalent to the cockroach now, too worthless to vanish completely even when faced w/an extinction level event.

You don’t need brains or good judgment to be BORN rich.

Fixerated

As I understand it, Netflix wants to move to all their own original programming. When they do that, they will kill themselves, problem over.

I’d rather not have to hear Nickleback on radio airwaves to meet quota.

Nickelback can take a long walk on White Rock's pier. But then Bryan Adams starts & ends with Cuts like a Knife. Oh yeah, screw that Bruce Allen guy too!

Them & the Tragically Hip too. Man, that's bad music.

Canuck radio plays too few bands too often, the only bands I hate more than Nickelback are Mumford & Sons & Kings of Leon. Gm Chrysler, those bands suck!

You want cool & Canadian, check out Bruno Gerussi's Medallion, now that's Canadian!

We're good on music.  It's the TV programs that are hard to take.

See, now that's just wrong.... Littlest Hobo? King of Kensington? A Gift to Last? Not to mention Mr Dressup & The Friendly Giant. We got it going on in Canada!

Chromag Surface Ti.  Bought one in May, never looked back.  If I had to give up by FS bike for the Ti I would.  Frame is a bit pricey, but you get your money's worth for sure.  I went all out on the spec kit as the Ti hardtail is the one thing I have wanted all my life.  I run 27.5 plus tires (2.8) on them with Chromag Magna 40 rims and there is no loss of rotation, and the nice part:  you can soften the tires for the down.  It has a threaded BB which to me is essential since the Ti will be a long term purchase.  Look it up on their website; the pics don't do it justice.

That looks sweet. Chromag doesn't do ISCG mounts on their frames anymore? What's up w'dat?

Well while were on the subject...it would be sweet if mec and other outdoor manufacturers could actually make clothes for normal sized people...we are not all 13 year old anorexic triathletes. I used to buy large or xl gear but cant even bend over in most xl pants nowadays...and no I haven't gotten fat....and 2xl t shirts....wtf.

And do people really make their buying decisions based on the race of the models in the catalogue?

That goes double for footwear. I have had to custom order footwear since the eighties. I was an 11.5 in a Nike bball shoe then. My local stores stocked up to a 10. What bball player over the age of 12 wears a 10? 13 or 14 now. At least I have been able to custom order footwear so far.
