No drugs, no shortcuts. A lot gym hours and putting the fork down. Firt guy probably couldn’t run to the end of my driveway. I couldn’t bench 115 pounds. Second guy ran a 10k at 50. Bench pressing my own weight. And more importantly, I feel good.

Luckily it rarely lands, joke's on them. Or if it seems like it could, deploying weaponized autism can be fun.

Sorry about your ego. I didnt say - or in my mind even imply that people who get there a different path are less. I just shared MY path. You chose to be offended by it.

I missed the question before. It has a different, and dare I say it, more fluid impact. It can impart both more force but less trauma on the part being hit. I have no idea if it's quieter, but logic says it must be. These tools aren't loud so I don't imaging anyone cares. This isn't a 1/2" oogga-doogga impact. I'm still lusting for this but best I can find is just over $180 on eBay, so nah.

Colossal idiot here - it was the Kill switch. I never use it, but had inadvertently hit it and - when she didn't start, that put be into a mental spin...which for me isn't a productive state of mind. Thanks to everyone for the assist. Now, if the temps will lower a bit, I'll get back to riding.

Those who succeed come to realize they have effectively made a lifestyle change, and it is to be maintained as such. The benefits are not just physiological, but psychological as well. You did this--no one did it for you. Savor the sense of satisfaction and well-being--you earned it. Resist the urge to look critically upon others who have not your sense of commitment and dedication (despite any obvious need on their part); but, rather provide quiet yet competent influence by continuing to lead this lifestyle of healthy example. Congrats, and carry on!

Great job! It takes a lot of commitment to do what you did and are doing.

Too many wheelies perhaps? I recently replaced some BB wheel bearings. I took the specs off the old ones and purchased genuine SKF off a bearing retailer. Way cheaper than OEM, but not much more than Chinese ebay junk. Anyway, do you think the rustoleum will hold up on the calipers when you bleed them? I have done some rattle can repaint on some parts of the bike but not the calipers for that reason. 🍺

Safety, obviously, third. OSHA not allowed in my place.

And if the shitbag/buttplug victim doesn't have a trailer ball you can stick one half to the bumper or tailgate and still get the visual effect for half the cost.
