So seeing as the dog missed out on my leisurely push this morning, I took him for a squirt around the wetlands.
Can’t wait for this lockdown to be over. All my local trails are teeming with folks making good use of their ‘1 hour exercise time’. It’s crazy, these trails are usually dead quiet, since lockdown they’ve been bustling 
We had a joke during lockdown.
Son from the city calls mom who lives in a village.
Son: Hi mom, can you please send me one of your chickens?
Mom: I will send you the one that makes the best eggs.
Son: I don’t care as long as I can take her out for a walk on a leash.
I commuted the last mile for a couple of years on various nondescript folding bikes…
I wonder now were any of them Bromptons?
Unlikely. You would have remembered it. I don’t care how stoned or drunk you were.
A Brompton is not like other folding bikes.
I have even participated (and placed well) in the Brompton World Championships .
They took place in Blenheim Palace in England.
Lovely place. It was a blast.
dude
no seriously
that looks epic… from it’s design down to its silicone bronze TIG welds… w0w
no,
be honest, Taz, you know you did those welds… 
seriously… your right, i never had a Brampton… i’d remember it!!!
Lol. I had nothing to do with those welds.
They are not TIG welded with silicon bronze though.
They are brazed joints and I suck at it 
This is the super light edition with titanium forks and rear triangle and clear coated.
Here is a video of how they are made.
I feel bad for derailing this thread so much.
Maybe a move is required?
@BillGordon
Doesn’t it feel right to be able to say that again?
The watercooler category is the home of off-topic discussions, however if you feel these posts don’t belong here, feel free to flag them.
Personally i think it’s fine.
Might be an idea to continue the off-topic topic in the randomness thread? Randomness begets Randomness The off-topic discussion thread
If you feel that the Brompton deserves it’s own topic, let us know and we can shuffle some posts 
Unlike some derail, this is content others will be interested in. So let’s leave it for now as Al says and maybe move it later. Thanks for the awareness, though.
Today on my ev, I went downstairs and stood on it with my eyes closed and a fan in front of my face imagining I was riding.
That’s some artisanal BOSS level lugless brazing… thanks for the vid… I don’t know why anyone would paint over all that beauty…
It is my understanding that only certain brazers are used for frames that are to be clear coated since every little imperfection is visible.
They also charge a lot more for the clear coated version.
damn. straight out of brompton.
Nothing fancy. Just some cruising around.
Exploring the new hood. Too many hills had my motors extra toasty.
Back in the old hood.
On my test ride with my new board I wiped out at top speed. Fuck those road reflectors lol
That’s brutal. Hope you and board came out okay.
Went out for a great ride with john davey a few days ago. Was one of those rides were everything feels just right and you find the perfect flow.
Ooops wrong thread
