About a week ago i was on my way to see Adam the Great to get a rim de-anodized in order to polish it afterward. The process involved caustic soda dilutted to 1/tenth of it's strength and no gloves, this thing would have pierced through you skin like alien's blood ( the one with sygourney weever all sweaty and hardcore shooting bullets everywhere in a spaceship).
apparently caustic soda only attacks anodizing and living organism only. nothing happens to steel or plastic or starbucks coffee cups...
but it makes bubbles on alloy, looooook at that



After all that i was so happy and my head was opening to a world of possibilities thanks to adam's karma or acid fumes. driving home imagining the bike's new look and all the shine everywhere i was driving carefree towards home. still daydreaming and thinking about how i should taper my jeans because they are a bit too baggy i was looking down arriving to a light but upon raising my head all i had in sight was the view of a ford frontier's bumper, a split second weren't enough to stop my little susie-lou and BAng! the front of my beloved suzuki st90v is bunged and the ford is totally intact on impact.
here are the results:

moral of the story: stop buying selvedge denim baggy jeans
