The trail of life has its ups and Downs

Hey so obviously all good things must end some time. So I'm back in the Chi and bought a few bikes, peep them here:

(Big Bike auction this weekend too ill be helping out at - get at me if your in the area)







The Raleigh Rapide i really like, super light single speed, unlike my PGH Schwinn, brand new wraps on the bars always make me feel so good too...




The other bike my brother is straddling we have named "The Gorilla Bike". It is a marrige of a Huffy Ranger touring bike and a mountain bike fork, along with a few other monster modifications: My personal touch - Gorilla bent rear fender holders, check the pick. The ultimate plan is to rig up a pair of handlebars to the back and use it to skitch someone in a gorilla suit... also, it has a banana peel dropper to disperse any adversaries.

But, as i said, life has its ups and downs... all bike related in this case. The big downer is my brother severely seperated his shoulder (3rd Degree?) today while we were riding trails and is now "permanently disfigured", though not "disabled". The word "permanent" really stuck with me and shocked me, as not much has been permanent in my life recently. Dont worry folks, hell be okay after a few weeks.


see hes okay, smoking and smiling :)-*


This event really shook the family up though, and made me realize i cant live with them anymore, and i should probably live alone/travel for a while, because i have a tendency to bring undue harm to those around me, even if it is no fault of my own (as was the case here)

Love and Light,

Enrico
