#2... Is that beer or actual tires? :)

#4... 2 gallons?!?!? Where do you get the industrial size? All I can find are the trial size and I keep running out!! :D

#7... I hear the "frustration" from over seas can get kinda pricey! Good thing we try to always buy domestic!


#2 is both the beer and the tire( i actually love Fat tire beer,at first I bought it for the novelty BUT MAN ITS GOOD!!!!)

Man, I was really hoping you would "HOP" in after all the SBM (Subliminal Bunny Motivation).
You were definitely one of the heavy hitters last year and I miss your style.
Well, at least you get to go some place cool!!! Have fun in Scotland and enjoy some Wee Heavy Scotch Ale for me!!!

There are always some cool parts on most RRB builds, but I don't think I have ever seen a parts list for any of the builds.

What are you building with? Sometimes it's easy for the rest of us to miss some of the cool parts that you are using.

C'mon man. I haven't posted on my thread in several days, and not enough people--four pages of builds--have posted to knock me into page two.* I ain't the only slacker here! :mrgreen:

*I'm waiting so I can use another bunny save and see if the bunny police show up at my door.


The bunny police are sleeping. :wink:
 
Happy Father's Day to all the RRB Dads out there!

Okay, the amount of building going on has officially made it near impossible for me to be able to keep track of what everyone is doing. I can't even keep track of all the ideas I plan to steal.

I have been making it a point to try to look at each build updates for all of the BO7 builds (at least the photos), but I still miss stuff that I want to steal. A few new builds started up today too.
 
Now working on bikes isn't as fun as it used to be....its like well.....work, hopefully I can find time to finish this thing, its crazy, as a hobby you don't stand on your feet eight hours a day, and my back kills in the last couple hours, I haven't hardly had time to even look at half the builds, I had time to work on my bike today but 100 + temps kept me in the house....and it is fathers day, enjoy everyone!!!
 
seems appropriate for Fathers Day...
