Was pretty stoked on having a great team ride in 60 degree weather on Saturday, now it looks like snow, but I am locked and loaded! My good bud, Swet from Iceland (in pic) just shipped me the new 8 cylinder Icemaner Sno-blaster 1250, it gets 16mpg...
Swet is smokin fast, he was the '06 Icelandic Icelocross national champ (a hybrid of cyclocross) with modified tires and bicyclette, see pic below...
His mechanic Pletrak "the Plad" (above) has this machine greased lighting aero... really "strumkedad" (stomping), just look at those beefy titanium hubs with the varied front boot wheel for grip and the lighter "sneek" back wheel for full on throttle... and it's even Chuck (Taylor) pedal ready, damn!... Notice the large panier on the back (thats to hold large slabs of meat) for longer races... no need to frigerate in the grand blanche nord...
Another little known fact with regard to Swet's sucess, he gets motopaced by the famous Gertrk Vklllommtkrrz or (G-Vkl as per his groupies)...that's him- below pic... this guy is 81 and is sub 4% body fat, just look at that ripped chest, notice where his shoulders connect to his upper arms, it forms two bat like wing triangles, that no doubt, has got to keep the wind focused over the "wings" to keep him grounded when at high speeds... kind of like a spoiler on a car... no wonder why he is generally considered one of the best motopacers around (Rock Racing wants him bad) that's of course, when he gets out of the clink for public nudity...
And give him a break, he's not completely nude! He's got his helmet and goggles on for safety, and is donning his wedding band (so the young ladies won't come callin'), I don't know how his wife Fridreeek puts up with him. Although he is a mans-man... Iceland's version of Charles Bronson, I say!
(ed note- Pletrak denies all allegations brought on by Mavik that he had inside information regarding their front boot wheel technology... and has the design dynamics and San Diego wind tunnel test notes to contest any allegations of such)
