    What kind of Bike do you have??

    I have a Turner Afterburner downhill bike that I rode to 2nd place in the Amateur Nationals a few years back and still race when I can find the time, I also have a Giant VT1 that I use to train. My wife has a GT XCR LE. I can't think of better way to stay in shape and have fun. Dave

    Locker question

    Vegas to Reno update

    No pictures yet, I'll post some as soon as we get them. We don't make it a habit to help vehicles other than Ford. Hummers, Dodges, and Chevy's just have to stay stuck :D. We will fix it and do better at the next one. Dave

    All but confirmed: Ford to end production of Sport Trac in 2011

    I'll take the IRS, once you get used to not getting the crap beat out you it's hard to switch back.
