#Get Started with Clean Motorcycle Chain

[bigification]

Gainers Roulette

It's a risky game played by men desperate enough to risk their bodies for a chance at a bigger life. Men come from far and wide to play a game of Gainer roulette, some come out strong and sexy, some aren't so lucky. Although the game isn't all luck, it has a way of punishing those it deems unworthy.

Six needles are loaded, four with a serum that increases muscle and testosterone in the body, and two with a serum that drastically increases age and fat in the body.

The first player is a young man who pulls up on a motorcycle. He learned how to ride a motorcycle so that he could join his dad's group, but now he just gets picked on for being young and skinny. Well regardless, him being skinny won't be a problem after this.

He takes the serum. Immediately his face starts to change. His young and smooth features become more ragged, his clean shaven face quickly grows thick black hairs giving him a bushy beard, and the hairs on his head fall out leaving him with a smooth bald head. At this point it's hard to tell if he's won or not. Aging and losing hair is a common sign of losing, but he did want to look older and tougher so it could be either.

Next his body started to rapidly grow. He grew taller and taller as his shoulders broadened and his chest grew two juicy pecs that burst out of his shirt. His flat stomach grew into a thick six pack with a small layer of fat covering them. His arms exploded with muscle, becoming large and defined. Hair started to grow all over his body, covering his chest, stomach, and arms, giving him a much tougher look.

Moving downward, his previously flat ass perked up and pressed firmly against his shorts. His legs thickened as a thick pelt of hair grew over them, and his feet grew a few sizes, busting out of his shoes. And finally, a large bulge formed in his tight shorts, just for good measure.

Looks like we have a winner. The man leaned against his motorcycle and looked down at his nearly naked body. He smiled before riding off.

Our next player arrives in a luxury car. These never go well, rich guys only have one thing money can't buy them, good looks. So they come here expecting to walk out strong and good looking, let's see how this goes.

An average looking guy in an expensive polo and a gold chain walk out of the car. Not exactly what I expected, but close enough. He appears to be on the phone, and he doesn't seem to be enjoying the phone call. He puts the caller on hold as he approaches and takes the shot without even saying a word to me.

The man's well kept hair quickly falls off his head as his facial features start to age. It's not looking good for him so far. His cheeks puff out as a couple of chins grow under his soft jawline.

His scrawny body bursts out of his expensive polo as his gut grows bigger and bigger. He is left with a big hairy beer gut hanging out of his ripped shirt. His chest soon follows, growing into a thick pair of man tits with cheap looking tattoos on them.

His arms and legs thicken with mostly fat as his hands become thick and pudgy. The man is left old, bald, and fat. This is what usually happens to the rich guys who come here. He resumes his phone call as if nothing happened before getting in his car and driving away.

The next player slowly walks up holding a cane. He is an elderly sheriff who had to quit his job due to his physical condition, but wants to work again.

The man takes the shot, and almost right away his back straightens as he grows taller. Most of the wrinkles on the man's skin disappear as his he grows a clean silver beard. His receded hairline grows back and his skin tans from a pale white to a healthy golden brown.

The man's chest perks up and his shoulders broaden, filling out his sheriff uniform. The fat in his stomach disappears, leaving his uniform hanging off of his pecs. His biceps tripled in size, filling with muscle until they were about to rip his sleeves. His ass perks up and his thighs thicken, filling out his pants.

The man stands tall, smiles and nods at me approvingly before leaving without a word.

Next player is a young man who pulls up on a bike. He says he's close to getting drafted into the football league of his dreams, but he just hasn't been able to put on the weight needed for his position. Well either way I'm sure he'll be beyond heavy enough.

He takes the shot and his body starts to fill out. His skinny arms grow large and strong and his flat chest plumps up into two defined pecs, bursting through his tiny shirt. His pudgy stomach tightens up into a barely visible six pack with a sizable layer of fat covering it.

His legs and his ass explode with muscle and fat, giving the young man the look of a superstar football player. The pressure in his shorts grows until they rip open in dramatic fashion, making his ass bounce as it's released. Finally his face fills out, matching the rest of his massive body.

It looks like we have another winner. He seems to come to after the transformation is complete, an embarrassed look takes over his face as he attempts to cover his dick with his hands. His hands are quite massive, but it would be futile to try to cover up the monster he's got packing down there.

I throw him a towel to cover up and he thanks me before biking off.

The next player is a middle aged man who shows up in a barely functioning mini van. He said he used to be an athlete but had to stop after a serious injury. Ever since he had his kids, he has gained a lot of weight and struggles to do any activities with his kids.

The man takes the shot, and similar to the sheriff from before, his back straightens as his height increases drastically. Within moments the small feeble man with a can has become a tall and imposing man. His height has made his shorts look like short shorts and his shirt look like a bra, exposing his hairy gut. This would not last long however, as the fat in his body rapidly started to drain. As it did, his body began to twitch as an immense amount of muscle started to grow in his body. His hulking gut became a rock hard six pack and his moobs became a juicy pair of pecs. The man's soft arms became solid and defined as his hands became thick and calloused. His legs became strong and sturdy, and his ass became round a perky instead of sagging like it did before.

The man's face slimmed down, making his double chin fade as a thick black beard grew over his face. His receding hairline also grew back a little bit, giving him a more youthful look. Finally, a thick pelt of hair grew all over the man's body. Though the transformation seemed very taxing on the man, and he ended up passing out.

He must have been 6"4 and at least 250 pounds, so dragging his body to a bed was no easy task. It didn't take long for him to wake up. He thanked me profusely before getting up and leaving in the minivan.

Our last player for today is a young man who shows up in a cop car. He approaches wearing a police uniform, he feels he is not being respected by the more senior police. He wants to be more intimidating and demand more respect, but something tells me that his co-workers aren't the only reason he wants to be more intimidating. Unfortunately for him, he has no idea that there is only one shot left and it is not a winner.

The man impatiently takes the shot. Almost immediately, the man's flat stomach distended outward into a beer belly. It grows and grows until rips through his police uniform, leaving him in a tight black undershirt. He is left with a thick ball gut that hangs out of his shirt. His once defined pecs grow into two soft man tits that lay on his gut. The fat in his chest has even forced his arms to lay further out from his body. Speaking of his arms, they plump up under a thick layer of fat, nearly ripping his sleeves in the process. Even his hands look fat, with fingers that look like stuffed sausages.

Lucky for the young man, his uniform pants seemed to be slightly too big for him, so they have enough room to store his new body. His ass explodes with fat, stretching his large pants to their limit. His thighs follow suit, filling his pants until they're about to burst.

Just when the transformation is about to end, it gets worse for the young man. His face becomes pudgier as a thick double chin forms on his neck. But as the fat filled his face, the stubble on his chin went from brown to white. The hair on his head followed suit, becoming a pale white colour as his hairline slightly receded. Wrinkles started to form on his face as he began to rapidly age. From his mid twenties, to forties, all the way to his sixties in mere moments. His body started to sag under its own weight as blemishes formed on his skin.

Police equipment was scattered across the floor as the man was left in a tiny black undershirt and pants that barely fit. He flexed, making his shirt ride up even more, and smiled as he looked at his body. It seems as though he is unaware of how different his body was mere moments ago. He chuckled and states that the station will have no choice but to respect a man of his stature, and besides, he's definitely old enough to get some seniority. He picks up his ripped uniform off the ground and comments that it must have shrunk in the wash and that he needs to get a new one. He thanks me before squeezing into his police car and driving off

[“Henry sat quietly while I told him the story of what had happened at the motorcycle rally, the moment of revelation when I’d seen myself for the first time: the boy on the motorcycle with the girl on the back. There were two separate things going on here, obviously, but one of them wasn’t something I was interested in looking at just yet, and anyway, the relief of having finally said the words “I’m gay” out loud to another human being was so great it almost overwhelmed the other thing. I focused my attention on Lola, the presence of Lola, my desire for Lola. I want a girl on the back of my bike, therefore I must be gay. The other thing would have to wait.

I felt it necessary to produce as much evidence as I could to corroborate this statement in case Henry didn’t believe me. While I might have looked a bit like a baby dyke when I was in my twenties, I sure as hell didn’t now, with my hair and my jewelry and my French manicure. Also, I’d never done anything remotely gay. I was forty years old, and I’d never even kissed a woman. But I’d been in love with dozens, so I went back through my history, naming all of them, starting with Georgia, whom I’d met at my first boarding school, and then Lola, whom I’d met while trying to get away from Georgia, and then the girl I had a crush on at art school, and the model I used to drop Ecstasy with, and the actress who once told me she like-liked me, and the musician I’d semi-stalked, and the school mom who’d made me forget how my limbs were supposed to work, and all the other women in between whom I’d pretended not to watch, or want, or wish for, or lie awake at night dreaming about.

By the time I finished, I’d shredded an entire box of tissues into my lap. “It’s like a monster in the cellar,” I said, taking the second box of tissues that Henry was passing me. “It keeps bursting up through the floorboards and yelling, You’re attracted to women and you don’t like having sex with men, and I just put my fingers in my ears and go lalala until it goes away. Because I cannot be gay.”

“Why can’t you be gay?”

“Jesus, Henry, I’m married with four children!”

Henry took off his glasses and started cleaning them with a cloth. I looked at the seascape hanging on the wall. It was probably meant to be soothing. I wanted to throw a brick at it.

“It might be different if I were a man, but I’m a woman,” I said miserably. “I don’t even know what the right type of gay is if you’re a woman.”

“The right type of gay?”

“Well, yes, because it’s different for men, isn’t it?”

“It is?”

“Because gay men can be kind of . . . glamorous, can’t they?”

“And lesbians can’t?”

I winced. “Well, no,” I said. “I mean . . . no.”

Admittedly, I hadn’t actually met any lesbians recently, but I could clearly remember the expression on my father’s face when he saw the pictures of the women at the Greenham Common peace camps back in the 1980s, lesbians with bad haircuts and shapeless clothes aggressively shaking the chain-link fence surrounding the nuclear military base while their boots sunk into the mud. Unfeminine women with left-wing ideologies were my father’s worst nightmare, and somehow I seemed to have absorbed this fear without ever fully questioning it.

I pulled another stack of tissues out of the box and blew my nose. My hands hurt so badly it felt as if my bones were splintering inside my muscles. “Is this what’s been causing the pain?” I asked.

“It sounds like you’ve been building yourself up in layers that don’t belong to you,” Henry said, gently. “Now you can start peeling them off again, find out what’s underneath.”

“What if I peel off all the layers and find there’s nothing there? What if I just disappear in a little puff of smoke?”

“Why d’you think that would happen?”

“Because . . . because . . . I’m frightened I’m not anything!”]

2nd POV

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

“get out of my neck of the woods, cole!” the cowgirl snapped, shooting the gun that she held in her right hand at the man, watching the cowboy speed off on a motorcycle.

her motorcycle that he stole months ago.

adjusting her hat and tossing the revolver that she held in her grasp to the dusty ground, she turned to look behind her, a faint sigh escaping her lips as she watched her robot friend pull you up from the ground.

hissing, she grasped at her forearm, leaning on a nearby rock before peeling her hand away, blood coating her hand as well as her arm, dripping down her fingertips and onto the orange ground below.

you perked up at the sound of the girl hissing, slowly walking to her. you bent down, cocking your head to the side whist holding a hand out towards her wound.

“i’m fine.” her thick accent rolled off her tongue like whisky, slight pain lingering in her voice as she winced again before relaxing, chucking at your shocked facial expression. “really. no need to worry your pretty little head, smiles.” she went to ruffle your hair before pausing, realizing that both her hands were covered in blood.

you held up a finger at the girl, pulling out a very long chain of assorted colored rags from your left sleeve, a small pile collecting at ashe’s feet as she watched with wide eyes and a slight chuckle. you untied one of the rags, wiping the blood that dripped down her arm before shoving the bloodied green cloth into your left hand, it seemingly disappearing out of thin air when you wrapped a few rags around her bullet wound.

“you really are full of surprises, aren’t ya?” she chuckled, scoffing as you swallowed the remaining cloths, clapping slightly with a nod. ashe looked around spotting a nearby gas station. “come on, smiles, bob, i gotta wash up.” she jerked her head towards the station, walking over to the building with a hiss, you and bob following after her.

walking inside the gas station, the worker acknowledged the three of you, instantly knowing who you were without even looking up. “cassidy causing problems?” he asked, his back turned towards the door as he cleaned up the shelves that were behind the counter.

ashe chuckled, grabbing the needed supplies off of the shelves. she handed you a few supplies as well; bandages, whisky, and cotton rolls. “that son of a bitch always is.” she scoffed, heading over to the counter with you in tow.

you both placed the items on the counter, allowing the cashier scan them before telling the price.

sighing, ashe pulled out the money that was needed and dropped it into his hands, snatching her whisky and strutting towards the bathroom, calling out to you as you stumbled, supplies in hand as you chased her down.

once you both were in the singe bathroom, she placed her bottle onto the counter, opening it before taking a swig. “think you could play doctor for me?” she smirked, pointing at the medical equipment with her glass.

your eyes shot open, darting between the equipment and at ashe, repeating this action a few times before slowly nodding, take the colorful rags off her arm.

ashe watched intently as you worked your magic, taking the occasional gulp of whisky to calm her panicked nerves as her arm pulsed.

the two of you stayed silent throughout the whole session, the only sound echoing faintly in the small bathroom was the sound of ashe swallowing and the equipment moving around.

“say.” ashe started, swirling the alcohol around its container.

you perked up for a moment before going back to your work, nodding towards the girl as a sign that you were listening.

she placed the glass onto the counter, moving her arm around once you finished wrapping the bandages on her arm. smirking faintly, she placed her hand on her chest. “i got a match later tonight, got an outfit that needs a little…statement.” she waved her hand in front of your face, her eyes twinkling. “think you can do my makeup for little old me, smiles?”

you took a step back, exaggerating a silent gasp which made the platinum blonde chuckle with a head shake. you threw your arms around her shoulders, smiling brightly as you bounced up and down on your heels. you, surprisingly, had your makeup on hand and you eagerly began to start.

ashe plopped herself atop of the counter, removing her hat which she placed on her lap. she noticed two clips that were in your hands and gladly accepted, pinning her hair out of her face.

you grabbed your face paint pallet, spraying it with your small water bottle before grabbing your huge brush that you used for your base. smearing it into the white paint, you wiped the white coated brush along her face, making sure to get all the spots you missed. you placed the brush into the sink, getting a different brush and dipping it into the red, doing a similar pattern that you had on your face.

the overall process took about twenty-ish minutes, quicker than the blond was expecting, but after all, this was your specialty. slipping off the counter, she turned around and looked at herself in the mirror. she cooed at herself, leaning forward as she got a closer glance at your handy work. “not too bad, smiles.” she beamed, pulling away from the mirror. she hummed in thought, dropping her hat back onto her head before her fists attached themselves to her hips. “it’s missin something, don’t cha think?”

you tapped your chin a few times before snapping your finger, pulling out a red, foam clown nose from your pocket. you squeezed it, a ‘honk’ echoing in the bathroom which sent you into a silent laughing fit.

ashe snorted, bitting on her lip as you shakily put the nose on her for, the two of you still giggling at the nose. “thanks, smiles.” she huffed, placing a hand on your shoulder with a light squeeze. “your a good kid, ya know that?”

rolling your eyes, you held up a finger before pressing at her chest then pointing a thumb at yourself.

“your right, your right.” she threw her hands up in defense. “i’m a year older than you, i should be WAY nicer to you.”

you nodded, acting like you were wiping away your tears that pooled at your eyes.

smiling, she looked at her watch before slumping. “i gotta go, smiles.” she muttered, heading to the bathroom door. she opened it, stopped and turned to you. “you know where to find me afterwards, yeah?”

you nodded, a small smile on your lips.

“good.” she walked out of the bathroom, leaving the gas station with bob.

•••

ashe smirked as she walked over to her team, gun over her shoulder as her cowboy boots clicked on the tile. “sorry i’m late fellas.” she cooed, waving her fingers at lucio who whistled at the sharp shooter.

“man, you’re lookin’ clean!” he gasped, snapping in applause as she spun around, showing off her clown themed outfit.

she snickered at the dj, jerking at hand at him. “not so bad yourself.” she nodded in approval, humming at the 80’s themes outfit he had on.

winston decided that for the next few weeks, everyone is allowed to wear whatever they wanted, as long as it fitted the dress code, of course.

“ah, just a little something i threw together.” he waved her off, the two walking, lucio skating, over to the doors that were shut tightly.

cassidy watched the two, laughing loudly as he shuffled over to the two of them. “what in the world is this?” he mocked, pressing at the red nose, the ‘honk’ echoing in the room which made cole laugh even harder.

ashe gritted her teeth, clenching at her gun. “hold…my gun.” she snapped through gritted teeth, passing her rifle over to luico who took it with a worried look. ashe cracked her knuckles before taking a swing, landing a punch right on the side of the cowboy’s jaw.

“ASHE, NO!”

i hope you enjoyed!! i went down the platonic route, with ashe kind of flirting at y/n😭

but! nonetheless, i hope you enjoyed!!

Again! Wrench Headcanons:

Guess this 28/41 year old is my hyperfixation for a while.[Age depends on which game he's in. WD2 has him at canonically 28 while Legion makes him canonically 41 years old.] This is about the length of my Deacon Rambles post...

Was a high school drop out at some point. Always getting in trouble for skipping classes, taking shit apart, having his hood/mask on, fighting because he didnt get along with people, etc etc. He hated school.

I see him as the type to have been a drummer in a band at one point. Eventually the band just fell apart but he has some of their songs on his phone still.

Loved the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. In his mind, it had a badass sound track. 7 Nation Army by The White Stripes and Black Sheep by Metric and Brie Larson were real bangers in his mind.

Reeks of beer and gasoline most of the time. Change my mind.

Deadpool is this man's icon. Some of his jokes are inspired by jokes from the comics or movies. Has posters, funkos, obviously the comics and movies, and even dressed up as his own punk version of deadpool loosely based on the funko mini. His personal favorite mini was the chicken costume.

Has a unicorn stuffed animal himself.

Also likes Spider-Punk.

Likes Motorcycles a little bit more than cars.

Detective films? Yes. Action Movies? Definitely. Sci-Fi? Hell Yeah! Horror? Maybe not so much.

People seem to be unable to decide whether Wrench is Bi or Pan. I personally think he'd be Pansexual.

Doesn't like cleaning as he states ingame. Will clean if the mess starts to bother him. Or if Sitara makes him.

High metabolism which is why he's so thin.

Throwns in tons of movie/game references when speaking expecting people to get them and then has to explain them when they dont. Definitely geeks out when someone does.

You know that one audio trend with the person singing CPR and someone else yelling "Language"? He'd be the singer and Sitara would be the one yelling at him to mind his language.

Sends the most odd videoes at the most random of times.

Also the kind of guy that might not respond until like and hour or 2 later.

Tries to be pretty quiet in the mornings, besides the music blasting in his earbuds/headphones.

The more I think about the more I start to believe that his "bad driving" is just a thing he makes people believe until you see his dumb ass in a race and this fucker blows you away with his skills. Then you start to really understand why he can do perfect drifts getting away from the police or gangs in a chace.

Due to his always racing thoughts, he sometims forgets some things. Like he gets sent out to take out the trash, goes to the kitchen, forgets why he went in there, does a few circles to try and remember, then gives up and goes back to his room or workspace. It'll hit him like 20 minutes later.

Favorite food is probably Tacos. Pizza close in like 2nd or 3rd place, maybe.

Decent at voice impressions, if you couldnt tell.

Oh, and for those who absolutely need them, have some romance headcanons too:

Didn't show his face to his S/O until like 6 months into the relationship at the least. He was so fucking nervous too.

Wouldn't even fully open up about his past until probably a year in at the least.

Prepare for cheesy love songs, matching key chains, corny pick up lines, bits of playful teasing, and a lot of small physical touches. (Mostly hand holding but would wrap his arms around his s/o's waist) His s/o also wrapping their arms around his waist drives him nuts.

Needs a lot of reassurance that his s/o loves him. I wouldnt say constantly but quite a few times in the relationship, especially at the beginning.

He isnt exactly scared of commitment as he had a husband at one point. Key word: "Had". Dont expect him to fully settle down though. He still plans to fight until he is sure this battle is really over.

Two Words: Super. Clingy.

Might forget an anniversary, dont hold it against him. He sometimes forgets what he had for breatfast 15 minutes ago.

As I've mentioned before, he does not like kids. Don't expect a family with him.

No planned dates unless his s/o is the one who plans them. He kinda just does things whenever if both have the free time.

Makes sure to dial down his weirdness just a little so his s/o is comfortable. He takes things slow if they want them to be.

Was definitely taking forever to actually ask his s/o out. Hoped they would do it first but then got impatient after a while and just blurted out everything.

This is getting too long. Im done for now.

The air might not be as clean as Pelican Town, but at least the noise kept his mind quiet.

That was why he came out here, really. To get away from everything, somewhere so unlike his home that he wouldn't think about it for a while. Hell, he'd book a hotel for a few days if he could afford it (and not stress his mother out). Unfortunately, trips until late at night were the best he could do until he could finally move out.

He might as well get acquainted with the place, beforehand.

Sebastian stood up from his previously knelt position next to his motorcycle, having finished locking the chain around a lamppost. Backpack shrugged off and put carefully down beside him before reaching up to undo and remove his helmet, giving his hair a good shake to loosen it up with a relieved breath.

Already, he felt relaxed again. Thank Yoba.

Pale fingers combed through his long, dark locks, before both arms lifted in a good stretch with a hum in his throat. The trip wasn't short, even on his bike. Maybe he'd walk a bit, stretch his legs, before deciding where to settle for the rest of his visit. Have a smoke along the way. That sounded nice.

His helmet, which had been propped against his hip, leaned down with the rest of him to be placed inside his just unzipped backpack. Couldn't risk it being stolen. Satisfied, he zipped it back up, leaned back up, slid it back on his shoulders, and finally started walking down the sidewalk. Hands already fishing around his hoodie pocket for his cigarette pack and lighter.

Sam and Abby were great company but, sometimes, he just had to be away from everything on his own for a while. Sorta like an emotional reset button. It helped. It always did.

Day 15: MM 226 - 244

Despite my best efforts, I still only got out of camp around 8 am. Trying to add some stretching into my morning routine added some time. The stretching is needed though, as I’ve been starting to have some foot pain, mainly soreness in the ankles and some in the arches. I’m planning to take a zero in Kearny, which should help get them feeling better.

About three miles into the day, I came to the Beehive Well, a large cattle tank with surprisingly good water. A few cows were milling around outside it but didn’t seem to want to be near us. The hiker I’d camped with the previous night and a couple I’d ran into in Summerhaven were all at the tank around the same time.

After leaving the tank, the trail started winding around the foothills of Antelope Peak. Along the way, we ran into two guys who were laying out course markers for an ultramarathon being held in a few weeks that largely overlaps with the AZT route. Unfortunately, I’ll be past the bounds of the race at that point, so I wouldn’t be able to take advantage of the lavish aid stations with food and drink that the guy described to us.

Around noon, I started to notice myself getting a bit irritable. I hopped off trail, added some electrolytes to my water, started snacking, and took a rest. Afterwards, I felt a good bit better though not 100%, but enough to get me to the next water source. Once again, it seems like the hiker hunger is kicking in. I’ll need to figure out how to manage it soon, as after mile 400 the town stops are fairly far apart, and I won’t be able to easily get off trail and get more food.

The next water source was a rainwater collection system installed for trail users, full of nice clean water. A small colony of bees were interested in the spigot, so I filtered my water from the wildlife trough fed by the collector. Afterwards, the other hikers from earlier and I took about an hour’s siesta in a shady spot near the collector. While we were there, a bikepacker stopped by and chatted with us. He was an ER doctor, and regaled us with a story from earlier in his trip where he helped a man on Redington Road who’d broken his kneecap when his motorcycle slid out on the rough road.

After the siesta, I headed off for the last leg of the day (6 miles to camp). This was an eventful section: I finished the Fellowship of the Ring audiobook (shoutout to the friend whose Audible I’m borrowing), passed very close to some cool power lines, and enjoyed the best gate I’ve seen on trail so far. The vegetation was also changing from the morning’s cholla forests to a bit of a higher elevation green scrub, though still with only infrequent trees. There were some boulder piles positioned among the yucca plants that reminded me of Joshua Tree National Park.

A note on AZT gates: there are many gates along trails in the desert southwest, and with them comes gate etiquette. Typically, there are two options: leave it as you found it, or keep it closed. On the AZT, almost every gate has been of the “keep closed” variety. These gates are often in very remote areas, so the latching mechanisms are usually improvised and come in a surprising number of varieties. Many gates simply have a sliding bolt, similar to an old-timey deadbolt. Others have a chain and a carabiner. The one I encountered today, however, was like no other. A cable was attached to the gate, run over a pulley, and a counterweight was attached to the other end of the chain. Once you let go of the gate, gravity ensures that it stays closed, and a block of wood stops it from being pulled too far. Very fun!

I arrived to my camping site soon after, and the three other hikers I’d been leapfrogging with all day camped nearby. We all ate dinner together, had a nice conversation, and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. I myself ate two well-deserved dinners, so I’ll need to add at least one to my stock while I’m in Kearny.

There are 22 miles till Kearny. I plan to do the lion’s share of it tomorrow, likely about 18 miles. However, I may shorten tomorrow and lengthen the day after, depending on how I feel tomorrow.

Teijo is an average muscular man with a light skin color and has a long dark blue hair tied into a ponytail. He has a thick eyebrows, light yellow color eyes, and has bunch of tattoo’s on his front and back of the neck. His dresscode is really simple as he wore his mechanic uniform in his work or outside of work.

He wore a blue coverall with a oni print on his back and inside, is a torn but he slightly buttons up the top shoe while showing a torn sando with small clips sticking to it and wearing brown leather boots with laces. Inside the pocket of his pants, he kept his belongings there but mostly there are spare tools he can use for occasions. He also does wear accessories on his person like he has ear pierced on his right ear and barbwire chain necklace.

He also wore a black fingerless gloves, he says his knuckles from his gloves contains actual metal to look like he wore a brass knuckles and a red oni printed handkerchief to wrapped around his face when he was riding his bike.

=======================================================

PERSONALITY

He comes off as a lone wolf and aloof individual who isn’t interested in anything other than vehicles and fixing with screws, bolts and whatnot. He works alone in his workshop and didn’t hire workers. It’s maybe because he lost his faith and trust on people ever since he was betrayed by his friends from his old gang and distant himself to never made friends with anyone again, except his nephew and Ishihara he can talk to atleast but he does know how to socialize only if it’s work. If it’s outside of work, he is mostly sluggish—more like a tired old geezer of not wanting to do anything, just look for a nice place to tak a nap without thinking of the world surround him.

Teijo is more wise and logical among the group as he experienced of being the vice leader and enforcer in the old biker gang however, there are rare times he gets annoyed when he had to deal with troublesome situations and get it done quickly. If there’s anything to get him lively or pique his interesting is something the involves car/motorcycle race because he loves the thrill feeling of speed. He doesn’t care how his business is low-rated. People would missed out that he is well-versed in machines, especially with cars & motorbikes. He is skilled enough to fix and assemble parts of a vehicle at ease.

He used to be very different in his youth, he was once a typical bad kid who made a lot of mistakes and shunned by others which lead him to prison. As he was released, he became mature, calm and collected person but something utterly struck his spirit down when he found out his sister lost her life and his nephew went missing during that time. He made a promise to his sister once he finds her son, he’ll be the one to look after him although there’s still some of his guilt plagues him for his actions in the past.

Despite his apathetic attitude, he does have some good points of being caring on worrying of other people’s well-being even though if he doesn’t overtly show it to the ones he cared about but will go to great lengths to aid them, specially taking care of Sen. Teijo will do what it takes for his nephew to be happy and fit in with other people. Between him and Sen, he acts like a father. He admits he miss the days when he was at the biker gang that he wished to bring back the gang but into a better one.

=======================================================

RAP ABILITY

Charge (it’s a life risking effect. His ability is waste all his energy to countlessly attack the opponents in every turn. Once he’s in a brink of exhaustion, he needs to absorb a single damage he’s taken in order to manifest a powerful offensive attack)

=======================================================

ETYMOLOGY

—> Teijo means “chastity” (貞) (tei) and “castle” (城) (jo)

—> Masakazu means “correct, right” (正) (masa) and “peace” (和) (kazu)

=======================================================

TRIVIA

His MC name Yama is named after a japanese god of hell “Yama/Enma” from the japanese mythology

He was an acquaintance of the leader of Wild Shīnu, Ryuunosuke Sekiguchi when they fought eachother long time ago

He knows little bit of martial arts thanks to Ryuunosuke’s dad teachings

He enjoys watching car racing, in fact, he secretly went to an underground street race without Sen and Ishihara knowing

He actually knows how to make tattoo’s so he’s that one who puts a tattoo on Sen and Ishihara

What he mostly likes to do is to laze around in the bathhouse without doing anything troublesome

Teijo intentionally make a pun for his shop brand with a German word “arsch” meaning “ass” to put Car + Arsch = Carsch so the people wouldn’t know he’s using a vulgar name in public

How To Maintain Your Yamaha FZS For Peak Performance

Yamaha’s FZS series is known for its blend of power, style, and fuel efficiency. However, to keep your Yamaha FZS running at its best, regular maintenance is crucial. 

Proper upkeep not only extends the lifespan of your bike but also ensures a smooth and safe riding experience. Whether you wish to use your Yamaha FZS daily or keep it for occasional rides, these maintenance tips will help you get the best performance out of your Yamaha FZS.

1. Regular Engine Oil Changes:

Engine oil is the lifeblood of your motorcycle. Yamaha recommends changing the engine oil every 3,000-4,000 km or as specified in the owner’s manual. Using high-quality Yamaha-recommended engine oil will:

Enhance engine performance.

Reduce friction and wear.

Improve fuel efficiency.

A study by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) found that regular oil changes can improve engine efficiency by up to 15% and significantly reduce engine wear. So, even if there is still some oil remaining in the engine, it’s best to replace it with fresh engine oil.

2. Keep Your Chain Clean and Well-Lubricated:

Your bike’s chain plays a crucial role in transferring power from the engine to the rear wheel. If it gets too dirty or dries out, it can wear out faster and affect performance. To keep it in top shape:

Clean the chain every 500 km using a soft brush and a quality chain cleaner.

Apply a high-grade chain lubricant to ensure smooth movement and reduce friction.

Regularly check the chain tension—too tight or too loose can cause unnecessary strain.

Yamaha research suggests that maintaining your chain properly can boost fuel efficiency by up to 5% while also enhancing ride smoothness.

3. Keep Your Air Filter in Top Condition:

The air filter plays a vital role in ensuring your engine gets clean air for optimal combustion. Over time, dust and debris can clog the filter, restricting airflow and making the engine work harder. This not only reduces performance but also leads to higher fuel consumption.

To keep your bike running efficiently:

Clean the air filter every 5,000 km to prevent dust buildup that can affect engine power.

Replace it every 15,000 km to ensure your engine gets a steady flow of clean air.

A well-maintained air filter improves combustion, enhances throttle response, and boosts mileage, giving you a smoother and more fuel-efficient ride.

4. Regularly Inspect Your Brake System:

Your motorcycle’s brakes are one of its most important safety features, and keeping them in top condition is essential for a safe ride. Worn-out brake components can lead to reduced stopping power and increase the risk of accidents. Here’s how to maintain your braking system:

Check the brake pads every 3,000 km—if they look too thin or worn, replace them immediately.

Monitor brake fluid levels and ensure the fluid is changed every 20,000 km to maintain optimal braking performance.

Stay alert to any unusual signs like squeaking noises, vibration, or delayed braking response—these could indicate an issue that needs attention.

A study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that well-maintained brakes can cut stopping distance by up to 25%, significantly improving rider safety.

5. Check Tire Pressure and Tread:

Maintaining the right tire pressure and tread depth is essential for a smooth and safe ride. Yamaha recommends:

Checking tire pressure weekly to match the manufacturer’s specifications.

Inspecting the tread depth and replacing tires if the grooves are worn out.

You should not use underinflated tires, even if they appear fine from the outside. Continuing to use these tires can reduce fuel efficiency and, in worse cases, increase the risk of accidents.

6. Take Care of Your Battery for Reliable Performance:

Your motorcycle’s battery is essential for smooth startups and powering electrical components. A weak or poorly maintained battery can lead to starting troubles and electrical failures. To keep your Yamaha FZS running without issues, follow these maintenance tips:

Inspect the battery terminals regularly for corrosion—clean them if you notice any buildup to ensure a strong connection.

Keep the battery charged, especially if you don’t ride frequently. A discharged battery can deteriorate faster.

Replace the battery every 2-3 years, depending on its condition, to prevent unexpected failures.

Proper battery maintenance ensures your bike starts effortlessly and all electrical functions operate smoothly, enhancing the overall riding experience.

7. Regular Service Checkups:

Following Yamaha’s recommended service intervals ensures that all components are in optimal condition. Visiting an authorized service center like Perfect Riders in Bangalore ensures your bike gets genuine parts and expert servicing.

Conclusion:

Regular maintenance is the key to keeping your Yamaha FZS performing at its peak. From oil changes to brake checks, every aspect of upkeep contributes to better performance, efficiency, and safety. 

No matter which model you choose, you can visit Perfect Riders, an authorised yamaha dealer in Bangalore, to book a test ride and experience them firsthand. For the latest prices, offers, and test rides, visit Perfect Riders today!

How to Inspect a Used Motorcycle: A Beginner's Checklist

Buying a used motorcycle can be one of the most exciting decisions for a rider, whether you’re a seasoned motorcyclist or just getting started. However, the process can also be a little intimidating, especially if you're not quite sure what to look for. An unwise purchase could saddle you with costly repairs or even a dangerous ride. To help you feel confident and informed, here’s a detailed beginner’s checklist for inspecting a used motorcycle before you commit.

First impressions matter, and the initial walk-around of the bike is crucial. Take a moment to look at the overall condition. Are there any obvious dents, scratches, or signs of an accident? A few scuffs are normal for a used bike, but major cosmetic damage can hint at past crashes or neglect. Check for any rust, especially on the frame, exhaust, and undercarriage. Rust is more than just an eyesore; it can weaken structural components and cause long-term issues.

Next, focus on the tires. Look at the tread depth and check for any uneven wear, cracks, or dry rot. Tires in poor condition not only add an immediate cost for replacement but could also reveal underlying issues like misaligned wheels or faulty suspension. Speaking of suspension, press down on the handlebars and the rear seat to test the shock absorbers. The bike should compress smoothly and return without bouncing excessively. Any strange noises or stiffness could mean expensive repairs down the road.

Another essential area to inspect is the brakes. Check the thickness of the brake pads and the condition of the brake discs. Spin the wheels and apply the brakes to ensure they grip properly without any odd sounds or hesitation. Good brakes are non-negotiable for your safety, so don't overlook them during your inspection.

Now, it's time to peek under the seat and around the engine. Look for any oil leaks, corrosion, or loose parts. A clean engine usually indicates good maintenance habits from the previous owner. While you’re there, check the chain and sprockets. A healthy chain should be properly lubricated and have minimal slack, and the sprockets shouldn’t look worn or sharp-edged. Poor chain maintenance can hint at an owner who skipped regular servicing.

Starting the engine is a critical step. Listen carefully as it idles. It should start easily and settle into a consistent idle without excessive smoke from the exhaust. Rev the engine a little to ensure it responds smoothly and watch for any strange sounds like knocking or rattling. If possible, take the bike for a short test ride. Pay attention to how it shifts, brakes, and handles at different speeds. Does it feel balanced and responsive, or does something seem off? click here

Finally, ask to see the service history and title. A well-documented maintenance record is a huge bonus and shows that the bike was cared for properly. Ensure the VIN on the bike matches the paperwork exactly. If anything seems fishy, it’s a major red flag and a sign you should probably walk away.

Buying a used motorcycle doesn’t have to be a gamble. With a keen eye and a little patience, you can find a great ride that’s both reliable and affordable. Take your time, trust your instincts, and remember: the right bike is out there waiting for you.

A Complete Guide to the Most Important Bike Spare Parts — GNG GO

When you ride a two-wheeler, your experience depends heavily on how well your bike is maintained. And a big part of that comes down to using quality bike spare parts. Every part of a motorcycle plays a crucial role in how it performs, handles, and keeps you safe. If any part is worn out or damaged, replacing it in time is essential.

Thanks to online platforms like GNG Go, finding genuine online bike spare parts has become easier, faster, and more reliable. Whether you ride a commuter, cruiser, or sports bike, understanding the core components of your vehicle helps you make better decisions when it comes to maintenance.

Let’s dive into the key spare parts every rider should know about:

1. Engine

The engine is the heart of any motorcycle. It converts fuel into power and sets your bike in motion. Regular oil checks, air filter cleaning, and timely servicing can go a long way in extending engine life. If any internal parts get damaged, like pistons or valves, it’s important to replace them promptly with the right components. You can now conveniently find compatible engine parts through trusted platforms like GNG Go.

2. Brakes

Your safety on the road depends largely on how well your braking system works. Whether it’s disc brakes or drum brakes, worn-out brake pads or shoes can lead to accidents. That’s why it’s essential to inspect the brake system regularly and replace components when needed. Always choose reliable and manufacturer-approved spares for peace of mind.

3. Clutch and Gearbox

The clutch and gearbox work together to ensure smooth acceleration and deceleration. Clutch plates, cables, and gear levers are subject to wear over time. If your gear shifting feels rough or if the bike struggles during acceleration, it might be time to check your clutch system. Quality replacements are easily available via online bike spare parts websites like GNG Go.

4. Chain and Sprockets

A well-lubricated chain and properly aligned sprockets ensure a smooth and noise-free ride. Over time, these parts may stretch or wear out, affecting your bike’s pickup and fuel efficiency. Replacing them with original parts not only boosts performance but also prevents further damage to your bike.

5. Suspension

Suspension systems, including shock absorbers and forks, play a key role in ride comfort and road grip. Worn-out suspension can cause your bike to bounce excessively or feel unstable on rough roads. If you notice unusual sounds or vibrations, it’s time to get these parts checked and replaced with high-quality ones.

6. Tires and Tubes

Tires are the only point of contact between your bike and the road. Ensuring they are in top condition is non-negotiable. Bald patches, cracks, or punctures indicate that a replacement is due. Buying tires and tubes from a trusted source ensures durability and better grip during rides.

7. Battery

From starting your engine to powering the lights and indicators, your bike’s battery is an unsung hero. A weak or dead battery can cause major inconvenience. Most batteries last 2–3 years, depending on usage. If you’re replacing it, ensure compatibility and quality by choosing from verified sellers on GNG Go.

8. Lights and Indicators

Headlights, taillights, and indicators help ensure visibility and communication with other drivers. Any malfunctioning light should be replaced immediately. Not only is it unsafe, but in most regions, it’s also a traffic rule violation. Choose energy-efficient and long-lasting bulbs for better performance.

9. Mirrors

Side mirrors are vital for safe lane changes and monitoring traffic. Cracked or loose mirrors must be changed right away. Thankfully, there are several shape and size options available through online platforms, including GNG Go, to suit your bike model.

Unlocking Performance - Essential Maintenance Tips for Your Motorcycle

It's no secret that proper maintenance can significantly enhance the performance and longevity of your motorcycle. Whether you're a seasoned rider or just starting out, taking care of your bike should be a top priority. Regular upkeep not only ensures a smooth ride but can also prevent costly repairs down the line. Here are vital maintenance tips that will help you keep your motorcycle in peak condition.

Your first step should involve keeping an eye on the oil level and quality. Engine oil lubricates the moving parts of your motorcycle, reducing friction and preventing wear. Check your oil level regularly, especially before long rides. If it appears dirty or has a burnt smell, it's time for an oil change. This task is fairly manageable and can save you from engine issues. Follow your manufacturer's guidelines on the type of oil and change intervals to ensure optimal performance.

Next, pay attention to your motorcycle's chain. A well-lubricated chain is critical for smooth operation, and neglecting it can lead to poor performance and premature wear. Inspect your chain regularly for signs of rust, wear, or looseness. Cleaning and lubricating the chain every 500 to 1,000 miles will keep things running smoothly. Additionally, ensure that your chain tension is within the recommended range specified in your owner’s manual.

Brakes are another vital component that deserves your attention. You should routinely check the brake fluid level and the condition of your brake pads. If you notice any squeaking or grinding sounds while braking, it may indicate that your pads are worn and need replacement. Additionally, inspect your brake lines for leaks, as this can put your safety at risk. Keeping your brakes in top shape will enhance your stopping power, giving you more control on the road.

Your tires are the only contact between your motorcycle and the road, making tire maintenance extremely important. Ensure that they are properly inflated according to the recommended pressure in your owner’s manual. Check for wear and tread depth regularly, as well as any signs of damage, such as cracks or bulges. Investing time in tire care will not only improve your bike's handling but also reduce the risk of tire blowouts.

Don't overlook your motorcycle's battery, especially if you don’t ride it frequently. A guaranteed way to extend battery life is to regularly check the charge and keep the terminals clean and free of corrosion. If your battery is nearing the end of its life (typically around three years), consider replacing it before it leaves you stranded. In colder months, use a battery maintainer to keep it charged and in optimal condition.

Lastly, ensure your motorcycle's air filter is clean. A clogged air filter can hinder performance by restricting airflow to the engine, causing it to run less efficiently. Clean or replace your air filter according to your owner's manual and your riding conditions. This simple act can improve fuel efficiency and engine power.

Routine maintenance is vital for keeping your motorcycle in top shape and unlocking its full performance potential. By taking charge of these vital maintenance tasks, you're not only ensuring a reliable ride but also enhancing your overall riding experience. So gear up, roll up your sleeves, and get to work on your beloved machine!

Respect the Hierarchy – Understanding MC Structure

If you want to thrive in a motorcycle club (MC), you’ve got to understand one thing: hierarchy matters. This isn’t some free-for-all where everyone just does whatever they feel like. An MC is built on respect, discipline, and tradition—kind of like the military, but with more leather and louder engines.

Let’s break it down:

1. Prospect – The Proving Ground

You don’t just walk in and get handed a full patch. You earn it. A prospect is someone who’s proving they’re worthy of wearing the club’s colors. That means showing respect, handling tasks (yes, even the ones you don’t like), and learning the club’s ways.

This isn’t hazing; it’s about commitment and brotherhood. If you can’t handle running errands, cleaning up after a club night, or taking orders, how can anyone trust you when things get real on the road?

2. Full Patch – Earning Your Place

Once you’ve put in the work, proved your loyalty, and the club decides you belong, you become a full-patch member. This means you now represent the club in everything you do. Your words and actions reflect the brotherhood, and respect is both given and expected.

But let’s be clear: being a full patch doesn’t mean you start barking orders. You still follow leadership and uphold the values of the club. Respect is a two-way street, but it starts with knowing your place in the structure.

3. Officers – The Leadership

Every MC has leadership, typically made up of:

• President (Prez): The head of the table. Sets the vision, handles outside relations, and keeps the club united.

• Vice President (VP): Right-hand man to the Prez. Handles club business when the President isn’t available.

• Sergeant-at-Arms: The enforcer. Keeps order inside and outside the club. Ensures bylaws are followed.

• Road Captain: Handles club rides, safety, and route planning. The boss when you’re rolling.

• Secretary & Treasurer: Handles club records and finances.

These guys aren’t just there for titles. They carry responsibility and have earned their positions through dedication and experience.

Chain of Command – Why It Matters

If you have an issue, follow the chain of command. Don’t skip steps. If you’re a prospect, you go to your sponsor or a patch holder. If you’re a full patch, you go to an officer. Running straight to the Prez because you don’t like something? Bad move. Respect the process.

MCs thrive on order and discipline. Without structure, it’s just a bunch of guys on bikes. When you respect the hierarchy, you show commitment to the brotherhood, the club’s traditions, and its future.

Final Word – Know Your Role

Whether you’re a prospect, a full patch, or an officer, knowing and respecting your role is key to being a solid club member. Brotherhood isn’t about ego—it’s about loyalty, trust, and respect.

So, learn the structure, follow the chain of command, and ride with honor.
