Over 50 mph on my bicycle

[Spudman***]

I had to take a break from all this recording and it's a beautiful day in the upper 60s so I went for a little bike ride. I hit this on the way home...and no the cops weren't chasing me.

[Algonquin]

51 MPH That's scary fast!

I can sometimes get the canoe up to about 4

Put it in the water & you might go a little faster .

Dooh! :

Spudman... You'd want to stay focused at those kind of speeds, wouldn't want to hit a racoon at that clip. I bet it felt great though!

[just strum]

Hmmm, 51 mph huh. If I were you I would take precautions and being a fellow fretter, I will look out for your best interest.

I'm sending you a form to fill out and sign that just states what is to become of your worldly possesions in the event of...well, let's call it a mishap. It's just your standard form, you know the usual boilerplate text that could be found in any form such as the one I am sending you - "in the event of an accident all guitars and guitar related gear is to be shipped to "Just Strum's Guitar and Guitar Gear Safe Storge." I know, you think it's a scam, but I am in no way affiliated with the company, but I have read good reviews about equipment in their care.

Again, just looking out for your best interest. Oh, and helmets are overrated, you can go even faster without one.

Dooh! :

What'd'ya think them paddles were for? Wacking the bees that hide in the canoe as you carry it over your head (see avatar)?

Again, just looking out for your best interest. Oh, and helments are overrated, you can go even faster without one.

I hope there's enough space behind

Just Strum's Guitar and Guitar Gear Safe Storage

for a decent roof shot.

Even a bumble bee will about knock me off the bike. It kind of takes my breath away for just an instant much in the same way the gusty cross winds do when I get going over 50.

Oh Strum, just fax that over and I'll get it right back to you. Maybe I should have Shiner read it first?

Just remember at that speed, breath through your nose unless you want to have lunch on the fly or a fly for lunch.

I refuse to be impressed unless you were riding a fixed gear

Speaking of...years ago I was out for a long ride with a buddy while the Tour De France was going on. He was telling me about how one of the guys in the tour (might have been Shaun Kelly) was stung in the mouth when a bee flew in...at just that instant a bee flew into and stung my friend in his mouth and he is allergic. Fortunately the endorphins kept the swelling and shock at bay.
Weird huh?

Hmm, I think that might be a good idea Spud. And not to cause any problems, but I understand that another company named "CB's Guitar and Guitar Gear Safe Storage . . . Inc." . . . has a better reputation. Plus, their CEO knows how to spell "Storage".:

Hey that is a, ummm, it's a ahhhhh, it's a marketing gimmick that is commonly used by the better storage facilities.

Spud, i never ever rode remotely that fast. must have been a scary, thrilling thing.

i miss it, but i'm glad i did [and was able to do] the miles all over that i rode.

I had a no speed version of that event.

I was out back on a hot summer's day with a can of lemonade.

I remarked to myself (which I'm rather inclined to do on occaision) that the lemonade was mighty pulpy with a powerful tang.

It turned out that the "pulp" was the bee wandering around dazed & confused in my mouth. The origin of the

TANG?

was his instrument of beestruction.
Luckily I realized before the sucker committed hari-kari. As a child I blew up like a ballon whenever I stepped on a bee.

You'd think that I'd put on shoes after that...but NO I was just that stupid.

Same thing with rusty nails. I'd play barefoot in the housing construction behind my house. Three rusty nails inna foot in one summer & No it wasn't in Texas .

I hope nobody says "hey, this one time I saw a piano fall on a guy from a 6th story window."

ok...i have to ask....how the heck did you actually get to that speed on a bicycle?

were you going downhill or did you have a really long road and a 48 speed bike?

It said Harley on the gas tank.

I think he could do it with a slight downhill assist. If he tells us he was going uphill, well then...

Watch out for Turkeys.
