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: https://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).

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.

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?

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.

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"
