Simple Edc : Squirt PS4 Mod ?

Just finished adding V-grind and serration on the small knife of PS4.
It looks good, and works better

next will be adding Squirt S4 ruller (and nailfile) + squirt E4 3D Phillip head in place of PS4 file.

but the question then : should i do this mod in Squirt ES4 or in PS4 ?

well, basically i have both, PS4 and ES4 with torx assembly screws. this opens up a lot idea for modification. still thinking..thinking..

Simple Edc : Piranha vs Pocketwrench ?

After few months carrying and comparing both, i finally choose Pocketwrench as my wrench edc and let Piranha go.

Reason behind this decision were:
- my Piranha is metric one, with some limited wrench size, Pocketwrench can do more
- the open end of Piranha flexs with heavy use removing tight screw, Pocketwrench does not flex at all, thanks to the metal loop
- i never use bottle opener, but i do use (and like to bring) ruller
- i missed the double screwdriver bit in Piranha, but after adding a long double screwdriver bit (and rubber o-ring) in Pocketwrench, i never miss it at all
- prybar? rarely use it, yet Pocketwrench have it
- price? i can get two Pocketwrenches for a single Piranha
- size and thickness are the same
- Pocketwrench have better ergonomic when tightening screw, bigger screw = longer arm = more torque. On Piranha, this can vary depend on screw size.
- box ripper notch in Piranha was never mean to cut something. once i grind it sharp, then it work as it is. rarely use it as i always carry another pocket knife.

So, Bye-bye Piranha...

Simple Photography : just pull the trigger..

I sell some of my old stuff :
- Lumix GH1 + 14mm f2.5
- Mamiya C330 + 80mm Blue Dot f2.8
- Fuji X100
got some money, and just pull a trigger on sigma dp2m of ebay. At $799, i couldn't resist anymore.
Hopefully this can last for a while, like my old RD1.

Simple Madass : Combo-Brake & Dual Rear Caliper

just done, and result is impressive.
braking is safer & enjoyable event at panic condition.
tested at 75kmh and try to do panic brake, it works !


but need to change braking style a little bit, still don't know the effect of 2nd rear caliper (foot brake).
thing need to be upgraded :
- caliper bracket (DIY, 8mm aluminum plate)
- 2pcs Brembo Caliper !
- 2 new brake oil line
- brake line splitter (get it cheap from ebay)
- 3/4inch front master brake (KTC Front Master Big)
- bar end mirror, as the new master brake have different position for normal mirror.

next project ? i need to re-think of engine swap.
maybe Jupiter MX 135cc with upgraded 200cc engine block?

Simple Madass : engine swap?

Still searching the right engine, requirement :
- a wellknown brand
-125cc, 135cc or 150cc
- spare part availability for long term use

candidate : honda supra x 125cc, suzuki shogun SP 125cc, Suzuki FU 150cc, Yamaha Jupiter MX 135cc.
Problems found so far, none of them match directly the engine mounting of the madass. May need to make new bracket for the new engine.
Problem with FU, engine block is too big & may hit front fender, but indeed this 6speed 150cc DOHC is my dream engine for madass.
Will try first my supra x, reason, no need to buy another motor bike :)
