This is not what I expected to read when opening this thread. I cannot believe he's gone, but his legacy will live on. Thank you Johann, RIP.

I just got a half chub. Why are you getting rid of the Ohlins?

Sick scooter fam.

Good eye, they're closely related. Alan has since sold, just the CAAD 12 Disc now.

Yeah I went off the deep end last year too. Quick update, my last city beater (Velosport Courier) died at the hands of a 2015 Corolla that pulled out in front of me, cutting me off at 30km/h and sent me into the quarter panel and airborne when the wheel taco'd. However, I came out with a few medium bruises and $650 towards a replacement steed. So I bought a 1986 Alan Record. OG aluminum race bike, screwed and glued tubing and then I went all minimal designer on it (as I do). Replaced all brake cables, big clean, new brake hoods, tires, tubes, Brooks Cambium C15, etc... It's currently for sale if anyone's interested. It's a 56. Last year I began really riding with some of my friends and realized a 35 year old ride couldn't keep up. In came a 2019 Cannondale Caad 12 105 disc. Have since done a few minor things like replace the saddle because I hated the Prologo on it, but just ridden the damn thing. Local park (Gatineau Park in Quebec) was closed to cars all summer long by a local council (as a test) and became a bicycle playground. Hoping they do it again next year.

Working and living, plus crunch time for my masters. Do you ever miss your old laser R?

God damn, what up Greg?

Sweet jesus.

Hell, I would've bought it. Hope your mech is bringing it back to life.

One of my best friends has quickjacks and I've borrowed them to do some work on my car. They're super simple and sturdy to use. Never felt like the car could move at all. However, I wished I had the car up on stands when installing my exhaust. Some of the pieces were a real pain to maneuver into place due to the quickjacks not lifting as high as my jack and stands do. I'd say they're a good buy for the majority of car projects.

I emailed Chuck about this, he replied very quickly and said he'd look into it but I haven't seen anything change.

The OG is back??

Dang.

I'm running 450lb rear springs and find myself wishing I went 500lb+. With no one in the back, it rides well but I've effectively ruined it as a wagon lol. Love the video updates Matt, can't wait to see you doing some longer runs once it warms up and you can get traction.

Bring back all the OGs. WTF are you even driving nowadays? I know Danny has a 911.

I still go back and watch videos of the XR from time to time. Those runs you did in *Mexico* do the trick every time. Love the updates Matt, it's awesome seeing it all come together.

Beep beep Biden train coming through. How's it feel now Gary?

I totally forgot you're running beefed up axles, my bad. Fingers crossed, I can't wait to see this thing do its first pull.

I'm running the TS510s, with a 450lb spring at a similar ride height to you and have had no CV boot issues whatsoever. My dampening is set around mid way and it's quite compliant/enjoyable except when carrying heavy loads or the inevitable pot hole via Ontario's god awful roads. I wouldn't change dampening to full stiff just yet, I believe the boots would solve the problem.

Hussein, where'd you find this? I'd love to read more about it.

Holy crap, coronavirus bringing out an OG.

Andy, headlights are the windows to the soul.

I'll give you $1 more than Mikey would've for them.
