Bicycles........ leg power type

[03Firebolt9R]

I got me and the wife both Gary Fisher Tarpons. There no Rumble Fish but we are just recreational riders and I like hardtails. Cant go wrong with Fishers, I love em. I will post some pics later.

I really like my kona. Ive been kind of wanting a full suspension but i really like hardtails.

I just gave mine away to my cousin! LOL. I am not the pedal power type knowing 1203cc is in the garage at my beck and call. Great bikes though.

Not to say there aren't occasions where I wish I could just twist a throttle when I'm riding up hills, but living in the city I definitely keep a better pace than most of the motorcycles I see. I actually sold my last bike in favor of my bicycles just because I got tired of sitting at red lights most of the time I was out.

well since BC is the birth place of mountainbiking I guess I could chime in aboot how friggen amazing it is to ride either DH, XC or all mountain..its crazy sick here on the island and the mainland has so much more!!!
here are some pics

the view from the top of Prevost, this is where my mountainbike cherry was popped!



straight across from Prevost is the Zoo, here I am on the edge overlooking the bay that is in the centre of the previous pic


this is my wife Adele, she rides DH so well she makes me look like I am waiting for a bus..LOL (she also races in the Island Cup series)

buddha..badass riding and bike! ever make it down to Moab or Fruita?

[BuddhaBuell]

would love to hit some places in the states 303, but alas your country really does not like me, I have been banned from the states since 2000

since the false flag attack of 9/11 I really really don't think they would take too kindly to me and my beliefs (depending on which amendment to the US constitution, I can be classified as a terrorist/extremist, lol)

By no means is this a slag to the upstanding people of the US who go into the services, or that of any country(I am not a fan of empirical goverments and big business) throughout history those countries or societies that spread themselves across the world for whatever reason are destined to fail and as history has shown us they end up failing miserabley...


apoligies for going off topic..lol

:D

you should convert to catholicism for a couple weeks and hit Moab. Amazing

[BuddhaBuell]

you should convert to catholicism for a couple weeks and hit Moab

and maybe the Vatican has some openings for priests
:D
thats priceless Jack!
LMAO

I have looked at the riding there and it is indeed awesome!

maybe you guys should hit Whistler or the North Shore in the summer for some DH, mindblowing to say the least...

Brandon,
Adele sez you have yourself a sweet XC bike, not quite a all out DH but would be amazing for XC and all mountain, she really likes your road bike too, she digs BuellChicks hardtail as well,
happy biking guys
