Working on a Friday. Is nothing sacred?

[Electrojake]

How goes the wheels, axels, trucks, and bogies, Slips?

Trains parts are darn heavy. So heavy, in fact, that is a train fell on you from out of a tree it would kill you. Who'd thunk it?

[Janx101]

they say that a train falling on you from out of a tree is incredibly bad luck too!!!

[mister]

Yup. Least it would be quick, unlike a dropbear attack.

[slipperymongoose]

Yep assembled loco wheelsets gears n wheels. Press force tolerances, measurement tolerances, run out tolerances lots of tolerances to consider its a technical thing this train stuff

[peteGS]

If a train fell from a tree could you say leaf me alone?

Unexpected last minute opportunity for a ride with the Kat guys tomorrow... win! 

I'm really liking these 150 main jets so far but would be good to see how it goes on a decent ride instead of just the commute...

That is a rare sight. That sucks jester you couldn't get covered parking. When I split with my young fellas mum I was lucky in the fact she f%&ked off and I kept everything including my son. I made sure to rack up the phone bill which was in her name too.

Lpw  Is here for you jester

[slipperymongoose]

What the strange guy said jester

[mister]

So, One guy at work takes a position a 5 Hour drive away. Moves into the new town.

Today I'm walking through my local shopping center. But in front of me is carrying a baby, woman behind him is pushing a pram. They get to the escalator. He hopes on and I'm about to offer to hold one end of the prom in the air when she turns it around, faces up hill and rides down that way.

When the father gets to the bottom he turns to help the woman. It is the guy who moved away 6 Months ago!

30 seconds either way and i would have missed him. Wow, Small world.

Next vlog is up and here is an embed for my LPW mates.

[peteGS]

Errrr... slips... maybe stop talking and concentrate on staying on the left side of the double white lines? Might be able to keep up with the group a little better too... and "frick me"? Did you seriously just say that??? 

But seriously, I don't get this VLOG shaZam!...

[slipperymongoose]

It's my camera on the helmet and me moving round on the bike that makes it look as if I'm crossing double white but I'm always on the left of the double white with a small buffer. And I seriously said frick me haha I try n keep it clean. And while vlogging I quickly discovered not to try n keep up plus the condition of the road. But I rode my ride and loved it. The way down my camera was off and left them for dead haha.

Slips,
Thank you for posting so we can critique your video production.
I too have a few issues to state...

1.) I'm confused as to where all the other traffic is.

2.) I'm perplexed as to where all the oil refineries, generating stations, factories, warehouses, chemical plants, and run-down buildings are.

3.) Clean, smooth curvy roads? Where in New Jersey (or Ohio) can I find roads that are flat, straight, and NOT packed with congestion?
Thank you for posting that Slips-narrated video.


Show me the garden...

[peteGS]

EJ, you need to move... when I get some video up from yesterday you will see more bush with no city and no refineries etc... and you will see me being left behind by two Katanas and an SV650... my bike may be much improved but I'm not... 

[mister]

Pete, you said you don't get Vlogging. I'm with you there. Why would I watch random commentary on random subjects when riding, when I wouldn't watch the random commentary if it was just you in front of your webcam?

The most odd subject I've heard while watching a Vlog was a guy talking about the movie Zombie Strippers. huh 

Now, give me a review of a road. Before, a few choice bits during and maybe after. Or even Guy Martin style where the commentary of his run around the Isle of Man was done in Post, that could be interesting. But probably not. BUT... and it's a big BUT here...

While *I* - and even you - don't like them, and plenty of other people don't, that doesn't mean there aren't people who live/love to watch them.

As I always say, as a video maker you should make the kinds of videos you would like to watch, regardless of what anyone else thinks.

[slipperymongoose]

I like what I'm making. As any typical Australian says have a go. So here I am having a go. I'm liking it. I'm challenging myself here. Usually I'm as creative as a wet blanket so here I am forcing myself on this to make myself a more creative person. Like the strange man said make the vid I would wanna see. And in that video particular if its not my commentary, it's the road. After that its nothing but I normally hate watching myself or hearing myself and watching the final cut before I uploaded it I was hooked the entire time.
