FIXIE FILES
As i ride up 6th Ave, i cut from the east side to the west side of the street.
Pass 2 delivery guys with food baskets.
Im at 22nd st and i can see the light turn yellow at 23rd.
i gun it.
3 cars form the light, it turns red, . ,,, and the people start to move.
I shift into the center lane,, still gunning it.
i look right,, and there are 2 pedestrian stragglers...(human shields) ,, holding up the west bound traffic.
I look left, and a hoopty is already in motion.
I blast out of the stopped puddle of cars, squeeze through a euro family,,,
and head strait for the hoopty's tail end....
Thinking,,("dont slow down,,dont slow down")
my front wheel passes 10in from the bumper.....
As it passes,,, i cut the bars hard,,almost to try to hit the car,,, but end up right behind it,,,,
Lock up the legs and skid,, while peering around the hoopty to see if the cars are moving...
They, just, started,
I cut left, hard enough to lift my front wheel... and push it through the cross hairs of walkers in the intersection.
no one really even noticed,,,,ahhhhhhhhhh

Ninja ZX6 with surf rack
Surf season in Brooklyn,,,,
This is the easiest way to Rockaway.....
And yes,, that is a RVSP back pack,,,
made from a front end of an 80s GPZ fairing,,,
I call it the Battle pod...
who says a bag flap needs to be flat...
The arched shape of the Shell bag, keeps the flap down..
and wraps around your back, like a big hand.....mmmmmm

strap filling
I needed to make the most cushy straps without having them be heavy or bulky...
I found the perfect combo... molded closed foam with 2 layers of 1/8" light open foam, ultra thin ripstop wrapper...
all stuffed into its Codura shell.....mmmmm cumpfy..
Still working out hip sack patterns,,, so far so good,,,,
I could use a couple of test pilots,,,,,,,
