I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

That is awesome. I don't know how long it would last running because I didn't notice if he used bearings for the crank and cams. But then again how many lawn mowers out there are metal to metal?

The cams in our bikes are made without renewable bearings They just run in the head and once that is worn out it's time for a new head.
