Oh yeah Zippy. Not sure if you know or not but this is the THIRD year I've done a thread on the SART. New thread each year!

At the end of the year, I do go back an delete some of the pics form my online album to make room for new photos.... SO IF ANYBODY WANTS TO COPY THIER PICS, DO IT NOW!!!!! I wait another month or so then delete.

SO this is the third year. Riders have changed so do some of the models. I thought about giving it up cause I rarely get replies. I was thinking riders didn't see the thread till someone pointed out the number of views!.....SO not many reply but I see someone's looking!...Each year, the vew count ha gone up.

What's really nice is that eventhough riders don't reply on the thread, I get lots of good comments form riders on the trail. Some I don't even know or never met. I once had a flat and a rider rode by and asked, "Got everything you need Mr Beanz?". That was cool. SO I figure if I keep the thread going, I'll have mechanical help on the trail if I need it!

Lots of good peeps and plenty of offers of help. Heck BoyLd is my technical computer guy. Pinoybenter offer tires for my car (he got cool ones for his). Another rider offered to build a computer for me when I told him mine was an oldie but goodie. Plenty of bike services. MTB lurker gave me a tire for my bike and an old lost and found rime for another rider via Beanz channels. But I still want that barend miror! Heck, Grrlyrida and Eyemage even provide the bug spray when we ride together!...Oh, oh, Condortita even corrects my grammar!Hahahaha!

Yup, third year but this year, the thread has seemed to capture lots of attention! I keep meeting lots of good people so I'll continue. A few bads ones but I think they just look at the pics!

I must say, with the firends we know, we even get free medical attentiona nd advice. With the money I save on copayments, I bought myself a new chain last night!

And thanks to this thread, I've even had a few gals throw their panties at me! But darn Gina keeps throwing them back!..ok, not really but sounds good!
