short evening ride to clear my head

@Brock Thats it right there! Freedom in nature. Love it

I’ve fitted new tires for the summer. While I’m still undecided on the tan-wall look versus the classic all-black, there’s feel like a smoother roll.

60K mud ride trough the 'Vlaamse Ardennen' yesterday.

@Bridger Fixed it for ya: Why doesn't Michael Jackson tell Dad jokes?... Because they Neverland!

Bonus: What were Michael Jackson’s pronouns? He/he

Bump 200€ This is a steal for such a unique ring!

@Jett129 the oral sex one? I believe it has been mentioned in this chat

Bump 225€ I'm sure somebody here will give this a great home

bump 250€

fyi, I used to have alot of XL Western shirts and switched over too XL Workshirts mostly instead of going XXL western.

Pricedrop: 275€

Thats a great cover up!

Nice! I've been meaning to get into sausage making for a while now. Seems like you nailed it

@Nik said in Tattoos:

@Matt thanks yeah me too. The same artist did the stairs and archway and I went in not knowing what I wanted and walked out not knowing if I like what I’ve got

While my sessions rarely start with the vision I originally had in mind, I’ve learned to fully surrender to the process. I trust his eye over my own expectations. As I always tell people: Polak gives you the tattoo you need, not just the one you wanted.

Did a 60K gravel ride yesterday, cold and dry. Spring feels like it's just around the corner.

Here some are better images

For those of you who don't know the brand:

If you know the Manila-based duo Dante Dizon and Noli Coronado, you know they don't do "mass-produced." The Ysabelle is a masterclass in their signature style—a beautiful, haunting blend of floral motifs and anatomical precision. It’s heavy, it’s intricate, and it feels like a modern relic.

Specs:
Material: Solid .925 Sterling Silver.
Design: Intricate "Ysabelle" floral/skull motif.
Weight: Substantial (this isn't a thin band; you’ll feel the silver).
Condition: 9/10 - Lightly worn with a natural patina
Size: 10
Asking price: 300€ (Paypal F&F - shipping Incl)

Managed to 'accidentally' ride the Muur van Geraardsbergen last week. To those who follow pro cycling: I apologize for disrespecting such a hallowed climb with my lack of preparation. To everyone else: it’s famous, it’s cobblestones, and it’s brutal.

This wouldn't replace the need to understand fabric characteristics, but it would bridge the gap between a spreadsheet and a real-world fit. Since IH already captures these measurements so accurately, we’re 90% of the way there. We just need a way to overlay that info.

I wouldn’t bring it up if I didn't think it would be a huge value-add for the customer base. Bike Insights (https://bikeinsights.com) is the perfect proof of concept for how well this works.

@goosehd this is exactly what I'm talking about, but more in general across all clothes. the Link is wonderful if you want to onderstand how a specific cut is different from the next, but if you look at 2 pairs of 888's in 21oz, one OD and the other Plain indigo, size charts for a size 33 will be different between the two. If you put the sizecharts for both pairs in an excell and let in generate an image you can overlay both and have a much more visual understanding of the difference.
