Y!

Nothing is more manly than a grill.

Never had chicken on the Weber, looking forward to it.

In MTB news, im so close to getting a new bike its not funny, im excited. I just hope it doesnt sell before i raise the next 100 or so dollars.

No down payment option?

So, are they right? - - does it taste just like wallaby?

Yes, it tastes just like a wallaby :rolleyes:
Ha, nah it tasted like plain ole chicken i guess. A little smoky though, i liked it. Id like to try my Honey Chicken recipe in there.

Oh and Rankin116 - it's secondhand. Fingers crossed ill bring it home this Saturday. Watch this forum!

I dont ride street/dj/park (i wish i did though) - but that bike is hot. Maybe a lot hotter with Shimano DX's and sans e-13

White stuff (haha, even the black fork) = good.

I love my white brothers.

good stuff

Can anyone give me a quick rundown of the differences between a 'dirt jump' frame and a maybe a xc hard-tail. I check craigslist all the time, seeing what people are selling, and a guy has a Rocky mountain flow frame. I'm not really interested in buying it, just wondering what really sets this apart from a run-of-the-mill hard-tail.

Looking at one built up, the geometry doesn't look all too different. What gives?

Slacker head tube angles (sometimes, anyway, as with the Flow's 66.5), shorter seat tube to allow more maneuvering clearance over the top of the frame and much burlier junctures at the head tube, chainstay/seatstay and at the bottom bracket.

The weather been great this week. I've been able to ride every day. It's only home from work on my rigid bike but it's nice country roads for about 6 miles. At least I'm getting a little leg work in. I was riding out from the shop on Wed. and my boss was coming in. He stopped his truck and told me to take the work truck home, I just laughed at him. It was 65 and sunny, no way I was driving home.

That's awesome, I'm getting snow here!

We had freezing rain/flurries here in GA...

Heavy winds and really cold today

Are those the sticky soled nike riding shoes? I remember seeing some pics a while back but then never saw any more about them.

I'm thinking about buying a new ride. But I can't decide which one the recycles sticker will look better on,the Exterra or the Element.

An Element with a recycles sticker? You could tell everyone it runs on corn liquor.

never has an Xterra I think.

I'd buy WTP's white sedan.

My vote is for the Element over the Xterra.

We got more crazy snow! This year is for the record books. I read that our total accumulative snowfall this year is something like 3.7m! That's 12 feet for you metrically challenged. Remember some pics I posted a while back after our third big, big snow fall. Pffft. In these pics the driveway was already cleared by the snow removal guy but you can see how crazy the snowbanks are.

my vote for the xterra. can't stand the styling of the element

But the element is really practical inside. No carpet,tough seat covers. My kids are voting for the Exterra as well.

Nah, I have a Pathfinder.

I actually like the styling of the Element. It was one of my choices before I settled on my station wagon. I like the styling and the features that you noted were the same ones I liked. I'm also anti-SUV but the Element really stood out for me.

Yes they are.

I also tried out a twin turbo Volvo wagon. My wife said she didn't see that as a good idea. That thing was wicked fast.

You talking about the V50? I like that car. I'm not a fan of front-wheel-drive and large power, but if you spring for the T5 AWD I think you'll have a pretty nice car.

Make sure you check out what the toe hitch options are for all your options. As I found out, some cars only have expensive options for getting a toe hitch installed. That's if you are looking to pull or put a hitch-mount bike rack.

Both the cars I'm looking at are used.I've been looking for about a month to find one in good shape. I can't wait to hear the salesman when I cut his price by about 1500.00. That should be good for a laugh.They have hitches already installed.

Will I be seeing you soon?

That is a great visual.

Anti-SUV? Now I'm offended because so much of my self-worth is tied up in my SUV.

Reported to moderator.

Isn't tongue weight also a consideration? Didn't Madonna write a book that involved toes and tongues?

That's the plan but I have to see what my work situation is like. Some stuff recently changed in terms of delivery schedule and I have to see what is getting re-assigned to me and when I have to deliver the stuff. I find out in the next week or so.

Some guy at the trail today who I budded up with and rode with had a really nice dual. gary fisher.
It was like god compared to my bike,

Thats nuts Santiago!

Someone describe me the texture of snow, and what it's like to ride in.
