The post whore thread.

Speaking of ice tires, do they still race the jeeps on the ice on Georgetown lake?

[Irving]

I think so, but haven't driven by during a race day in a few years.

Thanks, pretty soon I'll be the coolest guy in the neighborhood, within the category of "guys who just got their first girl bike."

I'll need to find out if I can upgrade the brakes.

But does it have any googly eyes yet?

I want to have time to get this TTR225 running. The more I look into it, the more it sounds like a beginner bike for adults, which is pretty much what I want.

I have one of these. It?s a great trail bike with a super low first gear and it?s definitely NOT a motocross bike that a lot of guys are using for trails. I hear a lot of seasoned trail riders saying they regret selling their TTR?s.

Rode around my neighborhood for about 30 minutes today. First great definitely seems very short. I was pretty well behaved while in the neighborhood, but did take it out on Thornton Pkwy for a few blocks. I'd really like to actually get it on a trail as that had got to be a lot more fun than flat streets.

The suspension is definitely soft. I think I'd lose a drag race to my minivan.

You done good with the TTR, will make a good family bike.

[Irving]

Agreed. I need to see if my daughter would have the confidence to ride it.

It does have a soft suspension and that’s what makes it so user friendly. It’s wont beat you up like the motocross bikes will. It’ll be a great camp site bike or something to get your kids on for the first time.

[Irving]

Yeah that's what I'm hoping. I really want to hit some dirt, but my experience is very shallow. I'm thinking of taking it up to tool around at my place up in Pawnee, but I think that will get boring pretty quick. What about something like Fall River Reservoir, or King's Peak?
