Nice! Now go play in the dirt!!!:D
Rode mine yesterday. The more I ride it the more I like it! It doesn't mind if you throw it down a hill or run it into a tree either!! :D

the rock in the backround is a nice touch. I like it. Now I have to decide whether the extra $350 is going to go, a new hardrock, or new wheelset for the roadie. :D

Hello...

Nice bike! I recently purchased the CrMo version of the Hardrock (couldn't justify the extra $75 for the Hardrock aluminum model)....

I'm just riding around the neighbourhood so far...great bike...

Congrats on your new ride. I have the same bike in last years model and loved it. I made several upgrades to it as my riding got more aggressive and my skill levels increased. Never had a problem with it, but still opted to step up to an fsr this year. My daughter will run the HR until she outgrows it or wears it out. Its a really good bike for a good price. Next pics you post need more dirt on it. :o) Enjoy.

Nismo, it handles very well! I cant stand stiff steering and this is light as hell. I get good travel in the RST shock and the tires have amazing traction. At a light 30lbs, I was able to pick her up military press stle while I walked out of a rock crevice I fell into yesterday.

I normally dont ride around town, I stay in the dirt mostly. I think she'll like it alot.

Phatman, I dont like road bikes. They are just too... skinny for me. I need something beefy that can ride anywhere.
