Interesting....I guess gas really IS getting expensive! I cant imagine trying to go uphill but downhill would probably be pretty fun

Hmm. There's an ass whoopin waitin to happen.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first.

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

I'd be afraid to run into the guy in the bicycle shorts on the trail... he kinda has that look like he has bigger plans for you  :yikes:
RIP KYOTA

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

I'd go for it!  :thumbs:  But not in those type of clothes!  And it would need a small roll cage for me!  I can see some serious wipe outs.  Kinda like getting tossed off a big wheel as a kid!  :rofl2:


I'd try to modify some handlebars instead of a steering wheel and fab up some hand brakes instead of a funky big wheel lever for brakes!

i dont know if i am too big a fan of the articulating suspension... it is essentially a bike, and the fact it can lean would make it unstable in my mind..... if it were solid though, i could see it being better..... i would be less likely to roll if i knew i was going to, and could feel it... haha, and i know about rolling :P

The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.
