Good afternoon/morning peeps.

Hey Ektamine, what kind of bike do you have?
Click to expand...

I also want to know this.

During thesis semester it was not uncommon to be up for 5-6 days at a time with 3-4 hours rest in between. Quite simply if you didn't do this, you didn't graduate. I would have no trouble throwing down newspaper and sleeping on the tile floor in studio - doin it homeless style, which was probably the hardest I ever slept.
Most people that I talk to are still having recurring sleep problems from the "conditioning" we performed on ourselves. Talk about a fucked up situation.

I fear that I would develop a serious amphetamine habit if I had to condition my sleep schedule to something like that.... :(
 
I've been really busy - helping people move and driving around, my brother just graduated and my girl's lease ends soon so we've been working on that - as well as finding a new place to live.

It's thunderstorming here as well, but its actually quite nice. I do want to be able to ride my bike though....I'm pretty tired of driving after doing a couple hundred miles this weekend. Even walking would be nice.

Of course, driving is the easiest way to go around the city looking for more "For Rent" signs...

How are you doing man?
 
IM good thanks , ttying to behave a bit,its only been two days but getting some intense head aches and some interesting mood swings.. Think it will take a while to get back to some form of normality.gkven that i dont have nasty binges ..

Im guessing your on holidays? I have no idea about the the breaks overyour way.we're 6 weeks xmas,2 @easter, 2@ late june ad then another 2 in sep.

Moving sucks the dick, i hate doing it for myself let alone others.. Having a ute ( pickup) i often get suckered into it.do they advertise apartments online,paper or real estate?

What bike you get around on?
 
We use craigslist mostly, or just driving around looking for signs on houses.

I ride a vintage Hurcules (the UK brand) fixed gear that some redneck restored and sold to me for cheap, I feel sort of bad because I could tell he just wanted to get rid of it and get some cash to work on another restoration project (funny you mention pickups, he was restoring an older early 1980s Toyota pickup and needed the cash from the bike to buy something for it - so we helped each other out).

Here's a picture of a similar one (mine doesn't have the handbrakes, just a traction brake)

ahh,,ive got somethig similar myself.not as neat tho.when i get full of piss and bad manners i always ride it around terrorising the threatened neighbourhood...
I had another one slightly newer but it seized up on me when blind drunk going back go to a house party, so i hid her in the bushes,but it was gone the next day.

Scored tjem both ffom an opp shop.(salvation army)- @ $15 and the other for $18 fully running.

What are the toyota pick ups called?hilux?
 
In the 80s they were called "Toyota Pickup", it was the North American Hilux version though. I know now they're called Tacoma, and were called "T100" for a minute but then Ford sued them (as T100 was an obvious take on "F100", "F150", etc).

My dad used to have an 1987 Mazda B2000 pickup with that little 2.0L 4-cyl in it and a 5-speed manual. That thing was a tank, no radio, no A/C, no bumpers, great little truck.

As far as bikes go, I used to have a really nice one, but it got stolen :(

Biking all the way. I haven't had a car/truck/motorcycle for about 2.5/ years now and its been awesome. I live in a small city where I can get anywhere on a bicycle, and there are very few times I look back and wish my truck hadn't broke down (blew its fuel injectors, scrapped it)
 
^I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't (or didn't) own a truck! hahaha

Here's a picture of the "Toyota Pickup" (your version is Hilux)

The one the guy that sold me my bike was driving was repainted this awesome dark forest green and had big amber driving lights/foglights installed on the front bumper.
 
Did you get mazda 1000 at all? Tiny little utes. Or datsun/nissan 1200 utes.? There popular here for ca18s and sr20 upgrades.there the 180 and 200 sx motors. With a big snail bolted to it (turbo) theyre absolute rockets.

Those old cruiser bikes are the shit.you can leave them at the shops,basement,anywhere andthey dont get knocked off.

I want to get one of the 20'' ones that have a long seat and a backrest...
 
I've never seen/heard of the Mazda 1000, we had the "B-series", which went by engine displacement (B2000 was 2.0L, B2200 was 2.2L, B3000 was 3.0L, etc).

Maybe the 1000 was called the B2000 in the U.S.? Here's what they looked like:

I wanna say I've seen older Nissan 1200's, however.

I used to have a Early 90's model 4runner... The thing was a BEAST for 4-wheeling, I used to just take it up the coastal highways here and ramble off the road for miles and miles, whenever and wherever I saw fit =D

Heres a pic:

Unfortunately the engine gave out on me right around the time I lost my job, so I was not able to fix it (would've been about the cost I paid to buy it, 3-4k). I was REALLY bummed at first because I loved that machine not just for transportation but for endless recreation too... 4x4 is fucking AWESOME in California (I bet VA has some pretty good forest too, actually).

Anyways, since then I've simply owned one $100 used road bike and no other mode of transportation, and the way I see it I'll probably be on a bike until the next major transportation revolution takes place. There is just no way I'm going back to paying for gas.

Also, riding your bike everyday, at ~10mi + a day, just feels, so. much. better.
 
^If you look up fast fours and rotaries australia and have looksy they'll have a few..there tiny little fuckers. Hardly a tray on it.

EKTAMINE- how you been? Ive been a bit quiet myself so i havnt been on lurking..seen your reply to a meth thread to me that i posted in ,your right. Ive got plenty of things to look forward to..

You still job hunting?
 
^We have some crazy roads indeed! Although I've read that CA has some better "off road recreation areas" that are specifically for driving 4x4's on. We've got Shenandoah National Park and the Jefferson National Forest/George Washington National Forest as well as a lot of beaches to drive on. Outer Banks, NC is the best place for 4x4-ing around here though, I went there last summer and drove my friend's Jeep (about the same vintage as your Toyota was) all over the beach, it was awesome! I've taken my FWD car off-roading, usually by mistake, in those forests I mentioned, taking a wrong turn, etc.

CA has some fun, and pretty gnarly designated 4x4 areas, but I was always very into illegal 4wheeling because you can just find the most amazing areas, with no one around but you.
 
^I hear that, I really loved driving on the beach though, and being able to do so at night, go out near the surf, make a campfire and some food, drink and smoke some bowls in the moonlight.

Good times

Also, good luck at your interview!
 
Thanks man...
I hope I get it, its my kinda place. The manager is hippie-dude named shanti that speaks very soft and slow, they serve AMAZING indian cuisine, and its on the middle of the most central downtown street in my city (good tips). Also about a 1 minute bike ride from my Apt.

So I'm crossing my fingers.
 
I know I <3 tips....

Tips might mean cash to you, but tips mean hash oil to me =D =D =D
