The tall guy is Tyler Malinky of Lowbrow Customs. He ran a record in 750 V/G and 750 VPS/G last year. His brother Kyle ran a record in 650 V/G. A good week for them.

Hello you wonderful SaltNuts !
First of all:
THANK YOU Jon, Glen, Tom, Don, Larry, Lynda, Ian,
Charlie, Jim, Bo, Ed, Franey, P.J., Matt, Rocky, Joe
and Bill
for your concern , advise and uplifting comments !
Of course I knew this, but it still amazes me:
you are good people !
Thank you !
Please accept my apologies for my long absence.
Please accept my apologies for emails , or PM's not answered.
I will do it now.
Life has been weird. As Bill mentioned I have been working
non-stop ( and I mean NON-stop ) since shortly after I came back.
In fact I calculated that my average working hours has been
close to 100 (one hundred (!)) hours. I have been working every day including weekends
except Christmas day and one other day. Sleep work sleep work sleep work.
I have had NO spare-time or 'personal' life or social life of any kind whatsoever.
I have never ever ever been so utterly knackered in my life before
but it's all good. Yeah, and they money weren't too bad either.
The bike is still in the box.
My luggage from my return-travel is still on the bedroom floor un-unpacked.
I have enough dirty clothing to keep an average sized laundy busy for a few days...ha ha
The dust in the house has reached a level where it has morphed
into a new lifeform that barks at me when I open the front-door.
The GOOD news:
I got all my stuff and my bikes back.
The short version of the story;
my lawyer took sh!tfacefu*khead landlord to court.
He didn't show up.
The court ruled that the court people ( don't know the English term )
and the cops were to show up at the workshop and force him to hand over my stuff.
Before that actually happened I did get my stuff some other way.
We're now going after him for break and entering my workshop,
entering private property ( my front garden ), property damage,
and suing him for a large amount of money for damage to my stuff.
.....and , who knows; maybe some....erh...errrhm...'poetic justice' is coming his way.
the other GOOD news:
sort'of out of the blue I was offered a new workshop.
To me it's almost a dream come through.
LOT's of space, around 3400 square feet ( four times the old place )
and ( what can easily be turned into ) living quarters,
There's a toilet, a bath, central heating etc. and it is brilliantly
situated so that if I ride 7 minutes in one direction
I'm in the center of Wonderful Copenhagen and 4 minutes
in the opposite direction , I'm at a rather nice beach
AND it's gonna cost me only a couple of hundred dollars
more than my old place
and then some more GOOD news:
there is every possibility that something flipping good
is going to happen on the sponsor-front.
More later.
So much looking forward to be on this brilliant forum
among you good people again !!!

Good to hear from you Lars! I had begun to fear the worst. I firmly believe what goes around, comes around. Glad your ex-landlord would appear to be getting his come-uppance. The Germans have a great and appropriate expression ..."Schadenfreude" or loosely translated "pleasure in the misery of others," which would seem wholly appropriate given the landlord being the recipient.
Good news on the workshop. I'm sure it will bear fruits and inspire you to ever faster machines. I look forward to hearing and seeing your coming landracing exploits. Until then...
Regards,
Jim

Hi Lars!
Good to see you up and banging again.
More good news, there is an article about you and the saltcracker in "Cycle Source" november 2011. We did the MCM article , but not this one. Do you have a copy of the magazine?
If not, I can scan it for you.

Let me add my heartfelt relief on hearing from you again! Obviously our concern for your well fair has been publicly shared. It's a relief to know that your absence as been because of work, but from now on, if you're too busy to let us know you're alive and kicking then designate someone to tell us!!!  We'll forgive you this time because of the good that has come your way with the new shop, return of your tools and belongings, and the opportunity of hearing about the dropkick-stomp-on-his-scrotum-Karma's-a-B*tch landlord.  Anyway, glad you're doing well and I'll see you at Land's End this year!!! Stay Safe Stay Upright Go Fast and.... STAY IN TOUCH!! Lynda |
