DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

I’ll be there. I just said it’s not the best weekend because it’s the start of spring break for my kids at least. We aren’t really going anywhere but Cushing for a few days. I’ll be there Saturday. It’s down the street from me

 

This is pre coffee, but what am I missing?

 

Picked my bike up yesterday, I should have tossed that fox fork on it years ago. its a totally different bike.

 

That's the house we're buying. @Ghost0317 is a local UPS driver in my area. We all chatted about houses a week or so ago... Good thing I was already planning to replace the mailbox.

 

Ahhhhh I see. Appreciate the catch up. I thought it was one of those hidden image things or something. Kept waiting on it to be a gif and something jump out at me.



That being said. I cant wait to start the house buying process all over again. (He said with heavy sarcasm).

 

@Silverspool has me convinced I need to upgrade my RockShox to a Fox. I'm holding off for now as the cost is what I paid for my bike (used).

I got my electric bill for last month. $260 for my 1 bedroom apartment, but a little over half the energy was used during snowmageddon. My bill is usually about $80. I was warm all week, so I won't complain too much.

 

My gas bill was super high for February as well. Haven't seen the power bill yet.

 

Our gas bill was doubled... Haven't seen the electric yet. I'm sure it'll suck too.

 

If I had one of the higher end RS forks I wouldnt have messed with it. But I had a bottom tier Dart sprung fork. 100mm travel. I bought the fox from someone on here a long time ago for cheap. I was just happy to get an air fork. Need to order a decal set for it and ill be set. Probably wont throw anymore at this one and just upgrade.

 

hey that Dart fork was actually pretty good and held its own..... in 1987

 

Those were the days.

 

Well. It wasn't just the Dart.



It was....



The Dart........2!!!!!!

 

I had an original Marzocchi Bomber (coil sprung and pre Fox acquisition) on my Haro, swapped to Fox and it def transformed the bike, have been sold on high end suspension ever since.

On this Orbea it has a RockShox Recon TK Silver, its a nice fork, but still doesnt feel quite as smooth as the Fox fork, Fox is the way to go or the newer Marzocchi Bomber Z2.

 

Just passed a bunch of trucks on 35 leaving the distribution center. None of them had my mailbox stuck in the grill.... guess it wasn’t you... lol

 

Having 3rd member brought down from corpus tomorrow. Assuming nothing else broke when the diff blew, Black Betty should be good for Jambo. Prob see about trailering her this time lol.

 

My priorities have shifted to paying down debt instead of traveling.

 

I find humor in you all feeling like you have to justify yourself to @Naveronski

 

Jay hit the nail on the head about the whole thing.
