Hi Flying Grouses!

This is not an original shot of mine; was sent to me and I thought it right for Da Blog. As far as I know it is authentic. Keep flyin'!

Cheers,

Michelin

attention Murray with the Michelin Kyrilions You don`t move fast. Buy better "Stan" or "Continental".

Jens
the continental / europe man

Eat my French Rubber!

Sorry Sepp, to hear of the flats;
Sorry Jens, I don't ride German Continentals;
Sorry Men, 'Stan' sounds like an American Man ... Proud Canadian can't do them.
My bike and I eat Michelin Kyrilions... blast them up to 110PSI and my fat ass can't even flat these.

Tastes great with steamed vegetables and compliments Famous Grouse!

Cheers,
Rubber Grouse with Valve Head

Kapitän Sepp - Captain MitcHawk

Looks like this captain had more than just a flat tire ... Stan's tire sealant is not gonna get this rig going again!

on da Hawk

Wow, what a fun bike! Even faster than expected, especially uphill and in turns. The steering is very direct, it feels like flying! But only to the point where the trail is full of roots. That's when I prefer a fully.
Same as in real life, you gotta make your decisions according to the situation and there's never the perfect solution.

Here's a memo for Sepp and all other riders with those tubes in the tires: Rear wheel has no tubes but stan's sealant. Front wheel had a tube and no sealant. I got a damn flat on HWY 101 on the way home on my first ride with a tube!!!! Now then, tube is in the trash and tire got 0.5 dl Stan's tire sealant.
Go tubeless and keep flying

On da Krummholz Trail

No KrummHolz in MurrayLand I guess


Es ist so fein ein KrummHolz zu sein ... or just another KrummHolz on da Origon Coast. Hey, I said KrummHolz not Holzkopf!


The real thing, an authentic KrummHolz

warm up

Murray / Sepp
what 8° celcius ( 46° F) or 5 ° Celcius and brrr...cold? Not here, in Germany we have 20° celcius (68 ° F). Really no shits.

Man haben wir geschwitz (just kidding). Es wird Zeit das wir in eine Bierstube einkehren!

Hit a 'bump' on the trail down to the pond around the corner... Men - send the Hawk!

8 Celsius here (so I feel your pain, Sepp) but managed to squeak in a little twilight rides as les jeunes filles were to bed early ce soir.  Also note the sponsored headwarmer! 

 

Cheers,

Evening Grouse

on da "Hercules"

I could name my new bicycle "Hercules" if I wouln't have already chosen a name. Devaki rides a very similar Klein Attitude which she bought a few years ago. She named her bike "Peacock" (Pfau) because of the colors. Well, here is the name for my Klein Attitude: MitchHawk (MitchoHabicht). I needed something that can FLY!
Keep flying not flowering

A Votre Sante!

Grandma was visiting; her camera's working, so she took this pic... nice change from icebergs, eh ;-)

Imagine, Men and all - the happiness in the world - at the moment you are on da beach, as we blow soap bubbles and roast marshmallows (off camera) in our backyard.

Ignore your political leaders; forget they are even speaking... they don't deserve our precious time. We ourselves rule our own lives and our own destiny... and LIFE IS GOOD!

Cheers,
