Wow, it's been a real busy summer around here since the last transmission from planet grime. As we transition to the much anticipated fall riding season there are a few things you may want to know about. First , I'm taking an actual week off! The dates will be from 9/6 through 9/13. I'll be back to work resurrecting all the Huffys in the northern suburbs on the 14th. Maybe I'll ride somewhere besides Lincoln Woods, who knows.

As a result I've been remiss in getting around to updating anything but Facebook . Now that it is (almost) Summer it's time to post a few things you may find interesting, including some sales and some ride info.
