So I was in the garage tonight, lopping chunks off my Buell with a hacksaw. This got me thinking about the ultimate obsessive-compulsive bike lightener, Ed Key. I can just picture him at the drill press, covered in aluminum chips, saying, "The first rule of Lite club is that you don't talk about Lite Club."

All the while he is drilling, he would be mumbling his motto "Every Gram is Sacred"
If you need to build your stamina toward the insanely labor intensive project just keep tellling yourself "grams turn into ounces, ounces into pounds" If you repeat it enough times, you will be crazy too!!!!

And a shave. Make him smooth like Michael Phelps.
Meditation is the most important... one must sit and stare at the machine for hours, possibly while drinking beer.
Only through visualization can one see the heaviest parts of the parts...
Only through spreadsheets may one fully understand that the absence of something is greater than the presence something...

I have a hammer, a chainsaw, and a Buell. Does that work?

So, wearing my leathers while visualizing should protect me from the hardness of the walls?
You must BE the bike... except while crashing!

That would be one of the better equipped Buell workshops.

Crude but very effective!!!

You should see mine. I have a Sawzall, a gas ax, an 8-foot wrecking bar, a chainfall and a sledgehammer with a poly-grip shock absorbing handle. I build AMA Privateer bikes in my spare time.

If Ed would only shave all his body hair, he'd lose about 10 pounds.

That's not the diet we want him on, PLEASE feed him!
Scary thought, isn't it?
Okay, I've been sitting here for hours, in deep meditation staring at my bike, wearing the leathers, clutching the spreadsheets, holdin the beer...nothin, I'm getting nothin...oh wait, I'll just drop two percosets in the beer left over from my last summit wad...and, wait, yeah, I'm starting to get something, visualizing speed, power, light weight, my inner track predator...I can see my true identity now...

You'll do fine on the front straight but you'll never survive turn 1.
Give him the right missles and bombs and there won't be a turn #1!
