its funny you ask that. since im a "BIG" guy i have been reading up on what they call the "clydesdale" division which is guys over 200 pounds (thats me) needing different tires to help with the weight. im gonna get some continental kevlar tires for it. you see how close the back tire is to the frame in the little inset? i guess on "standard" weight tires up to 185 pounds the tires are ok but if a big guy get on the bike the tires bulge a little too much and can rub on the frame......

If I get back in to Xterra I'll get a crosscountry bike; currently I have a Freeride style bike that is good, but still pretty heavy for racing. Good for training though!!

thats pretty cool! a few guys i work with are road guys and some are off road guys. one of the guys i work closely with is an off road guy and he has a couple really nice gary fisher's. about 3500 a piece. never thought riding a bike was so expensive but like everything else you gotta pay to play.....

He quickly pointed out those tires were nearly new and you don't want allot of tread when your running the speeds that bike was designed for. Yeah, I rode one of his trikes and it was quite "different". I'll stick to my scooter when I want to ride two wheels...allot else effort when I'm trying to relax.

I can't tell if that's a threat or a promise, and exactly how x-rated it was intended to be...

glad to hear that. and that scar looks sore, and nasty

Tom are you feeling any better this weekend? Still recovering?

doing better now. still have a lot of congestion in the lungs, but other than that i am ready to go back to work.
i tried putting the starter in my nieces car today at the body shop.

the pos that put the engine in it before we bought it mangled 2 of the 3 starter bolts so bad that the heads are completely rounded.
so the car is now at a friends repair shop, and he is gonna work on it on monday.
he said he had a special tool for removing rounded head bolts when i called him for ideas.
so he told me to leave it apart, and came over with the rollback and picked it up.
