Well Pete, what can I say! Twice in the the last year
So yes, the bike does look better at the time!
To further the philosophical debate!
If an angel (or preferred deity or talisman) appeared before you and stated, "You have one day left, but you can't tell anyone!" What do you do?
I'd pack up my wife, the boy, the dog, my in-laws (including bro-in-law) and drive to the trails and spend the day with them. We would set-up camp at the truck. Leave my son and my mum-in-law and go for a mountain bike ride. Come back to the truck, play with my son and watch him laugh and play. Go for another ride (with the boy this time on an easier trail), come back, eat, then go for a hardcore night ride! Load Up and drive home, go to sleep and meet my maker!
