Aside from building bikes, kicking ass and taking names, heres a shot of Robert Ives doing what Robert Ives does best.

Hell be by to pick you up around seven...
Unless this guy gets to your house first.

"Hi guys,
So, this article in the UK Chronicle begins;
A FORMER Girvan man was caught having sexual intercourse with a bicycle in an Ayr hostel room by shocked cleaners.

Here’s the link

Which is definitely a new form of ‘bike love’  Not only that, but they made him register as a sex offender....

(PS, yes, I know I’m at work and should be working...but this trumps SEO and Analytics anyday...)"

Who doesnt engage in a bit of bike romance every now and again?
And as she knows what SEO and Analytics are, it obvious that shes smarter than we is..

Then the next day, Ashley sent us this email as well, regarding even more of the hapless romantics saga;

"Stevil,

Looking through your blogs I was just admiring all the rampage damage done to people’s bodies. I myself just took a slammin’ fall out at the Soap Box Derby races in SF this past weekend, riding down Bernal heights hill after the races were over, I decided to try and pop a curb at full speed, and missed. I have an awesome bump on my knee and got pretty bit up on my hand and elbow by the rocks. Also, both my hips are bruised. It makes me feel like I’m a kid again, sporting scraped up knees and elbows and hands. Not really Kosher for a 25 year old office drone, but that’s maybe why I like it so much.

 Anyways, to the real point of my story: I saw this back at the beginning of the year, and it just got reposted to boingboing.net today, and thought at the very least, you might be amused by it. Watch where you’re “playing” with your bike!"

You gotta get love where you can find it.

So you know, I think the donut bacon burger was just about the coolest thing ever, but then Scott sent us this email;

"If they could only find a way to fry this thing.."

Oh good god in Heaven. I think my heart just stopped, though its nothing that the Drunk Russian and Loudass would even bat an eye at.

I once saw the two of them go toe to toe at the Circus Circus breakfast buffet, and Im not ashamed to admit that I was lucky to escape with my life.
If Id been dressed as a piece of bacon, I would have been a goner.

Now to jump directions wildly.

So theres this girl whos got an pet that she loves dearly.

In some capacity or another, we can all relate to this, right?

The animal in question has recently gotten seriously injured and shes in a bad spot financially in terms of paying for the bills. I dont know quite why this touched me as it did. Maybe due to the fact that not so long ago I was in the exact same position.

This girl whom Ive never met needed help, and Ive done what I can.
Do any of you all suppose that you could take a second and read a bit about whats going on a lend a hand as well?

The girl would appreciate it, the cat would appreciate it, and in a weird twist, I would too.

The space,
the saga,
and if you so choose, heres the way you could help.

Now, back to the action- Billy from Godspeed Couriers and I have been in a bit of a technological quagmire to get this flyer to us. I think weve finally succeeded.
If you find yourself in the Bay Area, get yourself and a gaggle of friends together and make it to the following race series.
Its gonna be good.

Ok, Halloween is upon us, and has arrived on a Wednesday. Theres some heavy hitting going on in Swoboland, and if I dont get swallowed up by the process, Im gonna be ripping around on a bike, and laughing at a bunch of folks who dont know how to handle the grape and grain.
God willing, Ill have a camera and my wits, and will lay a full report on you later.

Never forget, high fives save lives.
