on the plus side if someone decides to beat the snot out of you on the playground and steal your lunch money, you'll have it all on camera...

TRaffic Jammer 05-30-08 10:20 AM

AS long as that girl that beat me doesn't take the camera too!

Even 4-gate straps aren't gonna help you stop if you drop a chain.

I think the people that were upset by this quote missed the point and humor. Riding brakeless is wreckless and the only reason people do it is pride, based on aethstetic or toughness factor I'm not sure.

Same way street skaters don't wear pads or helmets... makes ya tougher!

You know if I open the elastic I MIGHT be able to set it to upside down mode and wear it like a thong with a crotch cam. :lol: Oh man the imagery..... :eek:
Hows the wing feeling Chris?

i've got a huge pet peeve of people marketing shirts they either havent printed yet, or are too lazy to photograph.

Could be nice though.. hwy 53 looks like a pretty direct route, and there's also a rail trail connecting Hamilton-Brantford but which would probably require some bigger tires.

Never done it, but you would have to go up the 'mountain'. Not super easy depending upon your gearing

that was my main concern. it is by no means a flat journey.

As someone who has recently gone DOWN that same "mountain" (and had the effing time of my life, may I add), I will third this.

somnambulant 05-30-08 02:09 PM

I ain't 'fraid of no hills! In fact, the area around Dundas/Ancaster/etc is kinda hilly, but also really beautiful.
