Never get into a situation faster than you can get out

Unless you have a plaster fetish of course....

I'm looking forward to the day I break something that 'can' be plastered....instead [not all bke-related] it's collar bones [3], fingers [1], toes [1], jaw [2 places], concussions [4], stitches [7 in head], and gravel rash [acres of it]....

11 years ago come Sunday after next, I was riding along the road at about 25mph when a car and caravan overtook me, the driver forgetting the caravan stuck out about a foot wider than the car...

Tarmac and flesh does not mix, I know this...

You know how everything goes in slow motion? All I could think about was getting the car's number... (I did...)!

Yes I know that Gary Fisher is connected to Trek or vise versa, but Fisher still designs and builds the bikes and picks the components used.

Sugar3+ Disc lists $1869.99 and I can pick one up out of the box for around 300 - 500 dollars less at a friends shop.

As far as *bob* goes, you can set the adjustment on the Fox Float R shock for your weight and terrain to counter it for the most part if not completely.

I have a Pacific



Front suspention (hard tail)

Use to ride to school with it... 35 miles going and 35 coming back. Through the hard taxi driven, cell phone talking, make up putting on, newspaper reading while driving streets of Manhatten and Brooklyn.

The Brooklyn Brigde was the best part of riding... and going down that hil at 45 miles an hour.

Hey, I wanted to make a skin based on mountian biles. Can someone email me a picture of the front of your bike (focus on a part like the front brake wishbone or maybe the gears)

My addy is on my user profile.

sure, Mountain Classic or Hybrid ?

also how large can it be in byte count?
my digital Sony can get some serious res, but it gets a bit large when doing so, I also have a 2x multiplyer....

actually this is something I was thinking about doing also down the road. On the wall paper I was thinking about having a newer style full suspension bike upright and the shadow it is casting would be one of the 20 inch bikes from the 70's we would put MX motorcycle bars on and call it a BMX.. Before Redline or any of them, hell back when Gary Fisher created Mountain bikes

I've some shots I just took, but they kind of suck. I need to wait until tomarrow and set up the Sun Packs in the garage with the black drop cloth behind the bikes. I did keep the res down for test shots so not to up the byte count. But if you want to take a look let me know and I will zip and send then as they are for now and do some better shots tomarrow. Also if you want I can go by Ricks and get some clean shots of the Sugae Team customs.

let me know as they are on the mem stick in the reader...
