Hey guys, if you possibly remember i posted a while ago about some questions about getting a demo truck job with a company, well it actually happened, and right now i am sitting in the Best western in Bedford, PA doing a little training at teh cannondale factory. welli just wanted to let all of you east coasters know that if you happen to see a chevy duallly towing a cannondale trailer feel free to wave, honk, give me the ole #1 with a smile, or feel free to come up and talk to me if i have gotten the damn thing jammed somewhere. i am on teh road from here until i quit the job whenever that may be so would be great to talk to some fellow monkeys. anyway thanks to those that gave me help/info, and hopefully talk to you sometime aroudn the east coast.

hell man if you give up that job let memknow, i'll take it.

 

[Echo]

Sounds like fun, now bring me a Prophet to try out

 

[DVNT]

Any stops in Atlanta?

 

[JRB]

Cool bro - good luck

 

[biggins]

[peter6061]

Congrats, man,...

yeah, a schedule would be cool.

That factory is pretty cool. Did the shop tour a few months ago and would love to go back.

We'll give you a quick "you're number one" wave.

[Zman]

the finger, or the bird, the ole F You all that fun stuff. all good if i see a smile on your face and not waving it at me like you are gonna kill me or something like that, cause then i run into you with my big ass truck and trailer. and you will feel it

 

[splat]

what is "giving the ol #1"?

You spent how long driving with massholes ? and never learned the old #1 ?

Just Look at Heidis avatar

 

[Toshi]

ahh, thanks for the explanation . never heard it called that before, and i only spent a summer actually driving around boston! the T was all i had for the other 3.5 years... back to the original topic, congrats on getting the job and good luck handling being on the road nonstop.

 

[splat]

Good point , I must say I only used the T ,while I was in college and didn't drive around here till after I graduated.

 

[neversummersnow]

You should come support NCCA nats this next weekend. Seven Springs PA. I'd be sweet.

 

[Zman]

i will be, in fact i think i am the only "factory" support that will be there. and it will be my first real event so bear with me if i **** anything up

 

[indieboy]

zman are you jack???
if so when are you coming to atlanta to ride with me and richie again???

 

[Zman]

no, not jack, he had a slight issue showing up to work when he was on the west coast. so i am the new east coast guy and the last east coast guy went back west. to take over jack's spot. but i will be down in florida in decemeber so i assume i will be working my way back though GA sometime in jan or so. but still up for a ride by the way my name is patrik

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that's not good!!! poor jack, well i guess not poor jack, that dude parties like no one else i know. good guy though. but yeah my name is jamie, i used to work at a c'dale dealer but am no longer at that shop so the demo's won't be coming my way.

<~ known jack for many years and didn't know he was working for c'dale again till the demo station came to atlanta again last time it rolled through a couple of months ago

 

[Zman]

yeah i pretty much heard the same thing, and unfortunately he wouldn;t even call to say he would be later or anything...oh well. well keep an eye out cauuse as far as i know we will still be coming through there for demos so you can still stop by if we are at a park doing one...or if you are at the shop when i come by to do a clinic or demo we can get you on a bike as well

cool, do me a favor while you are still in bedford though. tell those knuckleheads to stop making cx bikes with disc brakes. i mean there's a point where fighting with the uci gets dumb this is possibly the only rule that the uci has made in the last couple of years that i agree whole heartedly with

 

[Zman]

lol will see what i can do, but doubt i have much pull over that. and i know a lot of people that use cross bikes llike that for commuting, great setup. but i understand. i dont agree with the ruling but i will let them know someone thought that

for commuting maybe, but for cx racing it's a bit dangerous. ever seen someone's finger cut off by a rotor? just imagine what it could do to a calf if you have a little mishap while dismounting or someone's wheel gets close to you while you are running, one word my man; OUCH
