I put a gas engine on a bicycle

KnobKnob TURN THE BEAT BACKInternetModerator Mod Emeritus
And then this morning riding to work I hit a big pothole and it ruptured my gas tank and took my brakes out.

So there I am flying down a hill at 40+ mph, spewing a rooster tail of gasoline onto a hot 2 stroke engine with no brakes.

I didn't catch fire, and it was a hilly straight back road so I was able to coast it out. I only overshot my turn by a quarter mile.

How was your day?

    I spend 2 hours in A&E getting my little toe x-ray'd.

    I chipped a bone.

    TLDR: The NHS are very nice and doing great under immense pressure.

    I also did a He-Man tattoo on a friend of mine. I hid a penis in it, I can't wait for him to notice

    How did you chip a bone in your toe, Karl?

    Did you karate kick something?

    Yeah it's like one of those paintings with like a wolf hidden it it but you have to look really carefully to see it

  • GrisloGrislo Registered User regular
    Like one of those young lady/old lady pictures, it all depends on the angle (of the dangle, etc).

    Try turning your monitor, you'll see the penis eventually.

    This is the cool exploding bike I built

    If the cops ask you, it only has a 50cc engine on it because that's all I am legally supposed to have

    I wish it was something as cool.

    I have a terrible habit of hooking my feet behind the front legs of a chair.

    I did this, then tried to stand up and ended up crushing a toe with a chair leg.

    It's Karl, the man who can't be trusted to do anything without shoes on

    It's a man's God given right to turn a bicycle into either a sweet motorcycle or maybe an IED.

    Either way I ain't no snitch

    Next time you go rocketbiking, Bonk, you should bring your hilariously oversized sword just in case you meet anyone else on a rocketbike and the joust inspires you.

  • KnobKnob TURN THE BEAT BACK InternetModerator Mod Emeritus
    It's not oversized, it is very accurately sized

    It isn't my fault the Soul Reaver is huge as shit

    My friend built a motorized bike with a legally-too-large engine once, and I rode on it on a dirt lot for a minute. Felt like I was going to die.

    I'm in my late 30s now man I can't be doing this kinda shit.

    The first time I fired it up, I rode for about 5 minutes then instantly got in the car to go buy a helmet

    I threw out my back yesterday just leaning forward slightly in the shower to wash my butt. Today was a lot of walking up and down about 50ish flights of stairs at work while carrying 20ish lbs of rifle and ammo and I want to die

    I feel like there's a lesson or a moral here, but all I'm getting is 'Don't Wash Your Ass' and that can't be right

    I had a dentist's appointment today to fix a cracked filling. In it they said hey, you've got two cavities. So I ended up getting three fillings.

    Yeah, it was pretty nice. I took the day off, smoked some weed, took a nap, lazed around the house a lot. And then we had indian food for dinner and ice cream sundaes for dessert. And I got Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne for the Switch, so I've been nerding it up with that.

    Most of my long-term injuries are unfortunately uncool results of not being able to afford physio until recently, so I get stuff like stress sleeping leading to a sprained neck, or being too into sports and slamming my knees into the ground as I block a shot in ball hockey for the goalie, causing both of 'em to scar up from instantaneously bleeding

    Little scars like stabbing myself with a flathead screwdriver at work, an uncountable number of glue gun or soldering iron burns, etc

    However, as a kid I went to a Character Breakfast at Disney World, and fell backwards down a flight of stairs as we went to the next photo section, leading the Genie to run down after me to try and save me. I managed to be basically uninjured so I guess that was wish 1, but he didn't offer me the other two!!

    Knob, as your friend internet acquaintance, please don't make explosive bikes. Rocket bikes are ok, as long as they don't explode.
