Anyone see the new Mitsubishi Lancers and Nissan Skyline GTR with the paddle shifting on the steering wheel? Kinda cool, like a steering wheel for Xbox games.

I hear that the Germans have the best thing going as far as the so-called "Automated Manuals" go.

My new ride is going to blow you all away and I'm not telling you until it's done.

The way I understand it, both the EVO and the GTR use tranys similar to the DSG found in VW owned companies' cars, which are manuals being shifted by a computer (the way I understand it).

Edit: http://gtrusa.blogspot.com/2007/12/h...ion-works.html

The way some SCCA Rallycross guys explained it to me, was that DSGs are Automated Manuals. Then again, non of them had a car with a DSG in it, so I dont know.

Edit edit: Yay for the Audi Quattro S1, the car that started it all (If you know your rally roots, you should know what I'm getting at).

Let's play 20 questions, are you still done with full suspension?

BFG 08-24-08 06:16 AM

Tease.

xcracer13 08-24-08 09:04 AM

soft tail?

Dannihilator 08-24-08 10:30 PM

Matter as well spill it, you probably won't see as much of me anymore. The new bike is a 2nd fixed gear, and will likely be parting out the mtb.

Fixed gear road or mountain?

Dannihilator 08-24-08 10:33 PM

Road.

Dude. I call BS on this.

Say it aint so!

mtnbiker66 08-25-08 06:01 AM

So will we just have D as a Mod now?

Has anyone read the Pisgah artical in Bike magazine? I found it amusing.

born2bahick 08-25-08 07:02 AM

About the two weekend warriors that carried in all there gear? no I haven't. A friend was telling me about it yesterday on the trail, but then she fell and fractured her radius. I never heard the rest of the story.
Was it good?

It was a funny read.I think that since those are my home trails I got a kick out of it.

I may keep the mtb, but riding it has gotten almost to the point of routine, and there is just nothing there to keep me interested anymore. So maybe I should say it's a indefinite hiatus from a mountain bike.

OK I just read it, It was funny! Three guy's not two, huh? I really liked this part

Bike magazine:We lounge in a shallow bend in the river next to our campsite, sip cold cans of Coors, and figure out the math for the day.
Thirty miles, omly 7 of which are downhill, with a total elevation gain of
around 3500 feet. High on our first days accomplishment, we discuss the various superpowers we'd like to have.Jeremiah and I choose Invisibility for Obvious and obscene reasons, and Jeff say's he'd like the ability to give people titty twisters from across the room because, and I quote
"You could stop all kinds of crime with that sort of power"
