Hey all, been gone for quite some time. I had a failed relationship derail my riding and my R has sat in storage for over a year. I took on mountain biking and love it as it gave me peace in my life and somewhat took care of my off road fix! :) Now that I once again have my feet firmly planted I am looking forward to cleaning out my fuel system, buying some new race fuel & getting back out there! I might start by hitting a local MX track to learn how to ride again!:rolleyes: Life has crazy twists & turns but when you are down and out and at your low, you eventually turn that corner! "Its always darkest before the dawn" they say! Sorry for the rant, im just excited to be back! Here is a short youtube clip (sorry for the low quality cell vid) & some pics from my last trip out at Pismo Beach! Some of you might remember me!? I LOVE THIS R!!! Tim...

Thanks. Yea, had a grade 3 separated shoulder mountain biking. All good now but still heavy into mountain biking which gave me my off road fix. Gotta love the passion for adrenaline & the great outdoors! :)http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb9888355/p4pb9888355.jpg

Nice R and mountain biking like that looks like so much fun! I wish they had local places to do that here in Louisiana but we are kind of short in that department

I'll be gone much of the year. You'll have plenty of time to heal up. We'll have to hook up when I get home.
