the secrets of the Longfellow Mafia


My bikes will never be as clean, no matter how hard I try, as those of the Longfellow Mafia. They have some secret potions and ancient methods that defy the realm of my simple world. I could sell my place and move to their region and try to attain that level of excellence through daily practice. But, would they even let me in and do I have the discipline? One thing I can do and did do is use the octane the way they do. It's a start anyway. My bikes look cleaner already.

And it looks like you are up before the sun a lot lately...

Is that the first 'jump in' test for joining the LF mafia?

Nice wheels!

welcome to the fold

And I am assuming you will be putting pavers in the driveway??

Or you are going to need to clean those wheel wells out a couple of times a day to keep up to LFM code.

I fear the car, coming from the dealer is about as clean as it will ever be in my possession. It will not be long before I'm hauling Trap rock in the back and plywood on top. I will fall from grace with the LFM in short order, that I am sure. They will see that I am weak and cannot meet their high standards. I will do my best, but understand, I am happiest when my hands are dirty and this fact alone will most likely be my demise.

Looking forward to pulling up to WFBH and seeing the Swedish products all lined up (flowing curves, round headlights, heathly bumpers, soft interior and listening to Swedish moan)

Def, your words make me HOT.

No worries Thorny - the Volvo will swallow a full-sized refrigerator in the back no problem. And as many bikes as you can throw at it.
