In the bottle which you can clearly see in the photo.
However I do strongly suggest against fossil fuels, since it will jam the engine. :D
Title: My New Toy
Post by: Siaf__csf on April 09, 2005, 02:57:46 AM: No fossil fuels but definately something that burns. Vodka with sports drink chaser?

I mean, cycling is such a boring task one can't manage through it sober. :cool:

I have a woman... I've been married now for over 21 years. Subsequently, I also have teenage children... hence the scooter. :p

The tired part isn't so bad... it's the bruise that it's putting on my bellybutton that's killing me. ;)

Beleive it or not in most states you can actually get a DUI for riding a bike drunk or under the influence.
Title: My New Toy
Post by: vorticon on April 09, 2005, 04:15:52 PM: very nice...but whats with the studmuffingy seat? go get something more comfortable.

the dual suspension is basicly unneeded though. hope you have a patch repair kit and pump hidden in that bag, if you dont go get some.
Title: My New Toy
Post by: Sandman on April 09, 2005, 04:29:50 PM: Yeah... there's a patch kit and another tube in that bag. The pump is on the other side of the bottle.

Post by: rpm on April 10, 2005, 01:00:34 PM: Food for thought Sandy...

I did the same thing a few years ago. Decided to ride the bike the couple miles to Blockbuster to return a DVD. On the way back, at the first intersection, a 98 Dodge Ram decided not to wait for me to clear the crosswalk before making a right on red.

I strongly suggest staying on the dirt.

Post by: Sandman on April 15, 2005, 12:19:30 AM: Got my first biff today!

I wasn't paying attention... trail was largely straight and level and I drove past a fork that I thought I should have taken... I started to slow with the rear brake as I looked left at the other trail, and then I tapped the front break a bit too firmly... and I went over the top.

Couple of skinned knees and a bent up rear derailer. Off to the shop tomorrow.

Gawdamn, I'm having fun though.
Title: My New Toy
Post by: Nilsen on April 15, 2005, 01:15:01 AM: Thats a fine bike Sandman. I have a Scott myself and its a great way to stay in shape, and lots of fun! Not to far from my home we have a nice dirt downhill track that we use a couple of times a week. I havent injured myself yet, but I know i will some day. :) My bike only has suspention in the front cause it think bikes feels abit soft when they have them in the back too, but I kinda wish I had them when i go downhill.
Title: My New Toy
Post by: Sandman on May 11, 2005, 12:07:23 AM: Well... my wife decided that she must have one also so rather than buy another of the same type, I went for a slight upgrade (and she gets the KHS).

Bike #2 is a Trek. :)
