mtnken Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 All right, We now know how long we have had our cars. So how many of us have bikes we ride? I got a 2k Ducati Monster 900. Any body else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derf Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 I've had my Trek 830 (my main street ride) since 1991, and it had so much use, I bought a new bike last week, a Giant Iguana that I will modify for street use like I did to my Trek. And for off road, it is a Rocky Mountain Equipe that I got in 1994. I use it much less, so it is still in good shape. It had a couple of upgrades also. Oh, wait, did you mean MOTOR bikes?

Derf Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 I don't know how much kilometers my Trek has, but I can tell you that my computer (that I bought in May of 2000) says around 13700 km. I can also tell you I rode this bike as a bike messenger for 2 summers (1997-1998), with between 60-100 km per day. That's enough for me.

Guest thomas_m Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 I was kidding about the buttsurfing jab. I could care less what anyone chooses to ride their wave. As long as there is no dropping in or other kookness going on, it's all good. When I was surfing my waveski, I caught plenty of stinkeye at some of the local 'secret spots' where kayaks never paddle out so I decided then never to give any out myself. Sometimes when I see one of the outer reefs in the Strait of Juan de Fuca breaking a mile out, I wish I still had it as an option. The problem with plastic ww boat is they don't have enough rail to really carve and stay on the green face on a fast wave. Before I got my waveski, I used Mega Cyclone and Mega Venom carbon fiber surfkayaks. If you're committed to surfing in decked boats, you might give them a look. It's a whole 'nother ballgame than river boats. http://www.mega-kayaks.co.uk/ufo.html T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Randy S. Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Wow Bob! I figured I was the only one here riding a Fat City Cycle. I have an original Fat Chance. Its been modified rather substantially since I first got it. It no longer has a u-brake and has a lot more gears than it started with. What's original on it? Let's see...handlebar (but not stem), Frame. That's it. Wheels, drive train, front fork, brakes, etc. all updated. I sent it back to Fat City a few years ago for a new paint job and newly welded on mounts for brakes. Last season I had to get all new rear drive and shifters. It still is a great ride. I bought it from a shop called Pedd'lin Fool in Henniker NH in 88 or 89. Now that I'm in CA, almost no one knows what it is. It has been ridden in Quebec, NH, ME, VT, MA, CT, NY, NJ, CA and NV. Lots of miles and smiles. In fact, I'll be out on it this afternoon before the Sharks-Avalanche game starts. Other summer quiver items: Carveboard that I've hardly ridden, various sized kites w/ a Lightwave board, Saab 900SE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto Guzzi Sp 1000 big twin touring bike Bikes Gios Torino road Gios Torino Track Somec Sl air 2001 road Maza Max tube road Richard Sachs road Stump Jumper fs mtb All with way to many miles to count. about a million road, track, timetrial, training wheels and a disc ....spare parts, gadgets stems, bars, spokes, pedals, hs, bb, cranks etc. that fill up 6 or 8 bike boxes.

Derf Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Originally posted by Art Ah yes, u-brakes and Biopace, the good old days. :D Back then, shifters were REAL shifters (thumbshifters, good ol' XT), brakes were real brakes (NON low profile cantilever brakes), there were no suspensions, no sloping top tube, all bearings were real bearing, no cartridge anything. Seriously though, in the last years, with the arrival of V brakes, good version of SRAM shifters, cartridge bearings, and so on, bikes are getting even better. Like I said earlier, I bough a new one this year (mountain bike converted for city riding), and it is amazing how things changed in the last 15 years. 15 years!!! Wow, I'm 27 and this makes me feel old. Maybe I got into cycling too early. Derf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I wasn't scheduled to have shoulder surgery next monday. I'm going to miss the whole summer and fall. I don't know who is more upset by it though; my wife or myself. She would rather surf than snowboard any day (some weird foot attachment issue).

Guest thomas_m Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 My wife would rather board than surf... Bigger than waist high and her eyes start looking like boiled eggs, LOL. Yeah the 9/27 are from the Corner at the the WP jetty. Other days have pics from WP & the Strait. Still haven't gotten a good pic day from Neah since I started shooting surfing, usually raining or too busy trying to catch waves myself. All the pages are here: http://www.crowmountain.net/ Haven't been in the water since Jan 25th - had my first day boarding on Feb 2nd and winter priorities shifted... Prolly head to WP this weekend and get some little ones. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
