Well except for Bigmike...:p

Blow me :D

I am totally set up. I took my bike up to the shop today and moved the speed dial levers on my Juicy 7's from the front to the back, I changed out my tires so the front is a 2.7 Nevegal and the rear is a Dual ply DH casing 2.5 Mobster, I went over all the bolts, cleaned it up, cleaned and lubed the chain, wrapped the chain and seat stays in an old tube, and put on the fender for my 888.

So there Ralph!


And even when all that fails, i'll probably be bringing my RMX up too :thumb:

I just cleaned up my grill. J-man and I will be coming up Friday morning.

Congrats on the upgrade. Now you're an "Expert in Gravity."

Excellent.

I'll be wearing a rather poorly executed stencil design spraypainted onto a walmart imitation underarmor T, featuring the words "l'il stinker" on the front and "jdschall" and a picture of a skunk on the back. Low budget, ghetto to the max.
