I was busting for the sake of busting!!!
Is DG806 a weight winny?
I don't think so!!!

How is it to ride a bike that is missing a side of the fork(Lefty)???
Ya I'm just busting...J/K!!!
Is it spring in NJ yet?

 

[firestorm]

No not spring in Jersey yet in fact were just gearing into Winter. I ride all year long. Cold and light snow don't phase me. I ride anyway. Screw it and just ride is my motto.

[Dero]

Hiya DG!!!He,he...Have a ride for me will ya?

 

[firestorm]

Yea but you can't compare your winters to ours here in Jersey. Ours are much more mild. Last year we only got about 3 inches of snow the whole Winter. It's just damn cold some days.

Tell me about it! I think the cranks were 200 and another 100 or so for the rings.....They are stiffer than the originals. I like them better.

For those who can't ride...'cause it's winter,here's a site to visit...GREAT MTB VIDEOS

 

[ZECH]

Hey dero, move here and you can always ride!!

 

[firestorm]

Well I just missed my last chance to ride for a while. Last Sunday I was asked to go ride but neither of my bikes were ready. I had all the wheels apart after getting 2 flats on my GT Thanksgiving and Truing all the rims to both bikes. I just figured I'd go this Sunday but we just got hammered with 6 inches of snow so there went that idea. Ok this is your que to all cry and feel sorry for me please. Thank you.

 

[ZECH]

 

[firestorm]

[ZECH]

yeah that sucks!

 

[firestorm]

Yea I was bummed but at least the bikes are 100%.

I feel your pain!!!

Just go and visit that site and do a virtual ride in Fruita...
You'll feel better!

Thanks D my friend. I'm so pathetic, I was in the garage today. Saw my bike there,, pulled it out and just started leaning on the seat to make the rear suspension go up and down.
Yes this was done for amusement purposes only. (sick little boy here). hehehe

 

[Dero]

I go in the basement and pedal with my hand and change the gears...For the same reasons.
Am I pathetic also...?

 

[firestorm]

Yea but how bout this... How many of you go in your garage, put all your riding gear on,,, shoes, gloves helmet, riding cloths, shoes, and don't forget sunglasses(even if it's dark),,,, Take out some baseball bats, some wood and thow it on the floor. Then get on your bike and ride over it pretending your riding a trail. Then,,, to fully experience the realism, purposely fall off your bike to get the sensation of a truely "epic" ride. Ummm I don't do this I just umm saw someone do it.

 

[Dero]

Ok,you got me beaten,I don't do that!!!


You do?

 

[firestorm]

No goofy... just joking.

 

[Dero]

I know some people that would do it...

 

[firestorm]

Oh that is extreme. If you do know peeps like that, I wanna ride with those diehards. Rocken'
