my other bikes

yeah that's right I said "other"  ;D

Funny thing is that these bikes cost more than the ones with engines I ride!

You should inform the few "FAT" guys I've seen on their bicycles and yes no doubt in spandex.   Good for a chuckle at least.   Cool the spell check is back!!!!

I don't think this chunky dude will ever get on a bicycle again... Since I discovered motorcycles, I fail to see the point. But I do understand those who do enjoy riding them, just not for me. If it doesnt have a motor in it I generally don't care... Well, let me AMEND that... If it doesn't have a motor in it AND I cant eat it, I generally don't care!!!  :D :D :D

Oh, the halos make you gag! I kinda dug 'em  ;D
Binge and purge man , it's the best of both worlds , eat whatever you want again and again and again. Just like the Romans did .They even had a classy name for were they went to relieve themselves so they could eat more , I believe it was called a vomitorium , built whole separate rooms for this even  .... boy could they race some chariots ...hmmmm but they did kill Jesus . the fall of the Roman Empire,who woulda saw that coming.... ;D

Yep, yep, this is my 'other, other' ride. I really like it.  I might dig it even more with a suspension fork and different handlebars, but c'est la vie, all my real money goes to the motorcycles!

Aw, a disc brake with no front suspension? Cool color though , I like it !
The gold Trek to the far left is my favorite , it's a hardtail and seen better days though . The Giant is awesome ! It was a cop bike , I got from some dude who had a slew of them he got in an auction . Traded out the Continental Town and Country's For some Pirana's and took off the gear rack on other police accessories and had a 500$ bike for less than a hundered. It Has lockout front suspension From Roc Shocks. Deore compoments and can't remember what crankset off hand. The Other Trek 4300 is a sweet bike! Front and back disc , Shimano index shifters, front suspension, Bontrager Tires and rims , that bike is scary going fast as it is tuned so well that it handles very precisely so if you over brake or something well it's very touch like hair trigger touchy . Awesome fun though and there is an incredible difference between a real mountain bike and a huffy/roadmaster wal-mart bike ! Blew my mind when I first started riding 2 years ago how much real mountain bikes cost. You can easilty get past 3 grand easily... :o
