I just don't know why BP would allow that guy to have the only good MM bass in Oz.

Maybe you should be bidding on it BP.

I feel I should apologise for my Government's policies on that one....however being the child of a Scot and a Belfast girl...nope!!!!

And with plenty of Aussie mates who are proud of their history and indiginous culture I love spending time in Sydney and Melbourne.

The English had plenty of practise in these fair Isles before they expanded overseas.

(again no harbouring of malcontent against the English.....I do live here)

Oh and trust and Aussie to bring up cricket.....what about rugby, golf, horseracing and tiddly winks...

Hang arent you chaps playing the All Blacks this weekend?
Ouch

It's in Japatul in San Diego. Here's another pic taken in Mt. Cuyamaca.

This is in Jacumba

How did riding a bike become more worth looking at than the girl?

It's worth more when you're riding behind the girl.

Very nice pics. Stick a Fox fork on that bike and you won't believe how well she'll handle.

Girls always ride ahead

MD, I'm a big fan of Manitou's damping. However, Foxes are plusher and from what I heard, stiffer.

**Lazybite** · 07-27-2006, 09:21 PM

I can imagine riding behind an attractive girl could get uncomfortable after a while :O

Thailand is beautiful.... planning to go back late this year or early next year.

Yeah we are playing the All blacks this weekend. Both teams have flogged the SA'ffers in recent matches.... so it could be a beautiful example of running rugby heading our way.

Definitely true on the stiffness. I finally got the big paycheck's and sprung for an RLT. Couldn't believe the difference in tracking over Manitou and Marzocchi. And the ride quality was better too.

I bought a FS bike that came with a Fox Vanilla on it. I now prefer that over my RLT. Springs rule but Fox isn't making them in anything under 100mm. So now I'm looking to get a Moots hardtail custom built for a 100mm fork. Ti frame and steel springs, sweetness.

Whose the babe? Is that mrs. syciprider?
