Seriously, thanks. I love my van more and more every day. I hate the price of diesel compared to petrol here more and more every day.

Petrol slips below a dollar a litre for the first time since May 2004...Diesel sits at $1.45. Oh well, better than the $1.70 it was for a while.

That's why i cycle most places

my ferrous

Here's my 08 gary fisher ferrous. I absolutely love riding this bike. Have added a few things ( ex. saddle, grips..). The steel is a nice change from the rough ride of aluminum, and can take a beating like you wouldn't believe.

Back in he 70s I saw a 60s Toyota ute and wondered what the heck it was because it was 'pickupped' but looked like a factory job. Wasn't until later that I learned about all your immense variety of them over there.

I'm sure my wife is tickled that I don't have ready access to start a collection; she hates 'em.

Yah...when monkeys fly out of my butt! Only way I could do that is if it were solid instead of hollow...and then I still don't know

No offense, MX. It's a killa machine, I'm just prone to destruction.

hahaha no problem, thanks for helping with kmart.

kmart- i can probably get it just under 25...but no more unless i went full air suspension. my fork is coil too. so it is pretty light whent you consider coil front and rear

I don't know about MX but I like the feel of a coil a lot better than an air shock.

Oh, really? Would it be more linear? I've never even ridden an FS bike in my life (well, I rode one around walmart once), and the only coil fork I've ever used was a dart.

It's just more plush. It's a smoother ride.

The dart may as well be a rigid fork when compared to a nice coil fork.

Well, I know that. In fact, for a little bit I was so pissed about the leaking of oil that I almost said screw it and went rigid. The place in the garage where its sitting is covered in oil.

Thanks. I'm loving the new brakes and Fork (and I almost destroyed a log over with my bash guard).
