With the burrito tied up on my bench at work I got bored. I wanted something to do and had a few bikes and parts laying around. So I mixed and matched some parts and grabbed a can of satin black. This is how it turned out.

run your grips under some hot tap water, it will soften and expand the rubber and they will slip right off. I've done it to 40 year old grips and it works.

If you can slide a little screwdriver or an awl inside for the hot water, it works instantly. :wink:
 
Hey...that truck looks familiar, do you live in or near the Fort? I can't imagine there being another like it or that similar. Like the bike, any of the burrito?
 
Hey, On your grips, if you can't blow air under them, Use the metal stip out of a windshield wiper and run it under your grip pour hot water in and twist, this may take a little more than just a twist if they have been on for awhile.
