He bought a cheap-rear end bicycle cart and filled it with garbage that he didn't need. 6 miles into the "hike" it broke because it was made from plastic and chinesium and never built to traverse any terrain less smooth than an asphalt bicycle path.

He started out at Point Reyes Hostel outside of SF and didn't even make it to the golden gate bridge in three days. He basically failed to take a walk in a park.

Quite exhausted. I'm somewhere on the Bolinas ridge trail and it has been nothing but up hill. The topography map shows it should be a level elevation but it is not. I just stopped to chat with some bikers and the informed me it's still nothing but up hill for some time. My left knee is aching quite a bit but I'm trying to rest when I need it and staying positive. It's about 45 degrees up here which feels great while hiking. Still in good spirits even with the struggles.

Muerte posted:

No hiking today going to take a rest day just walking the 100 feet to the bathroom is grueling. Going to rest up and eat a lot. The last three days I've only eaten a handful of raisens.

The whole thread is good, but if you can't be arsed to read 80 pages, you can just read Muerte's initial posts, then read posts by Dr.Caligari and Anaconda Rifle who stalked his Facebook and provided updates after he stopped posting.

Texarrakis too. Kid from somewhere on the east coast bought a little patch of land in bumfuck, Texas with the intention of making a sustainable little commune. They camped and blew their money buying supplies like water, 2 friends left after a few weeks and the last two stuck it out a bit.

Ok post your favorite YouTube channels that help you be a better motorcycle person.

For me it's AvE: https://www.youtube.com/user/arduinoversusevil

He goes way in depth on seemingly normal objects and explains the weird, awesome and (sometimes) lovely engineering that went into them.

I can tell you I think about the composition of plastic way more after his videos.

Also you'll learn what "skookum" means.

This is really great, wish I knew about this when I was running a robotics team, thanks!

He did manage to avoid hiking head on into a Porsche though.

I heard yammie was on a suspended license too, which is believable but was it true?

from: http://www.thedrive.com/watch-this/10716/when-a-spirited-ride-on-a-motorcycle-goes-very-bad

quote:

I reached out to both parties to try to get a better idea of what happened in this crash. Yammie Noob declined to comment for this article, while the Porsche driver, Peter (his last name withheld by request), sent me a copy of the accident report from the Jonestown, Texas Police Department. Yammie Noob was cited for "Drove on Wrong Side of Road," as well as "Driving While License Invalid (Suspended/Habitual Violator)." No citation for excessive speed was issued to either party. Yammie Noob had previously totaled another Triumph Daytona 675 in another street crash six months before this one. By his own admission on video, he entered a corner too fast, ran wide off the road, and hit a boulder and fence. Between that, his other videos showing him riding at excessive speed, and his adopted "Street Rossi" moniker, one can surmise why his license was suspended.

I will admit watching.

In one of them he admitted his license was suspended, something about a ticket and not paying it. Or the ticket came with a suspension and he forgot, he did some mental gymnastics to justify it as a "mistake". He had even been pulled over with the suspended license and notified of it but continued to ride.

He also blames the Porsche driver for not carrying enough (gap) insurance to replace the totaled car.

Watched that fort9 Yamaha scrambler review and that channel has gone from top 5 to number one for me.

They need to do more gear destruction videos though, I found them interesting as gently caress to watch.

There's no way I'm going to watch yammie's old videos and have youtube recommend me more bike vloggers than it already does, but does he have his first Daytona crash on video? I'm curious if he actually entered too fast, or just target fixated and went off the road.

I guess I'm already pretty sure on the answer, but you never know.

He wasn't paying attention and ran wide and then after he hit dirt he decided that a boulder was a good place to park his bike.

No, its not on video or at least he hasn't shared it.

you cant find anything on his videos. He's really dismissive about all of his crashes, even comparing his skills to a motogp rider in that they both crash often. All of his "accidents" are things that happened to him rather than things he participated in creating.

I really don't know what you're talking about. Despite my reputation I've never done anything to warrant getting banned by you all and I just check in to it from time to time...

I mean if you all can show me something I did to deserve to get kicked out then fine, but I'm not sure what it would be. I find it kinda funny actually that someone would do that without me actually doing something to deserve it...? I thought you all were supposed to be the inclusive group and the IRC are supposedly the closed group that bans everyone? Seems like the opposite.
