    Tire scrubbing party...EDIT: Tuesday

    depending on how productive I am or am not at work in the next hour or so, I may head home, get my rims on and head out for a short ride to scuff the new tires in.

    EDIT: could get out of the office early enough...so howabout tomorrow...I can go for something a little longer...just not an all day'er...any time should work, but i may try to roll out in the AM

    anybody care to join...maybe pooder->SP/Buckhorn, or maybe Big Thompson-> St. Vrain

    Now there's an idea. I still have 1/4" of strip on the rear where my nuts just haven't been big enough to attempt a scrub.

    I think Dave needs to stop slacking and get his ass in the gym instead (you could be a muscle monster) JJ needs to let me train him so we can add some weight and I can prove I know what I am doing when it comes to fast metabolisms.

    Ricky and Wicky too!

    That is all

    Damn, I keep forgetting about that ankle. Agreed, work on getting that rehabed first. I slacked on my wrist PT when I was 20 and regrett it to this day.

    Yeah ... and lets not forget about that "open range"!
    Nothin like coming around a tight blind corner to have a few cows in your path of travel.
    It's a good test of your braking skills as well as your schpincter response!

    I don't ride that fast on the street...it helps limit my pucker moments to reacting to the bone-headed moves of other drivers
