That rear suspension looks sickly!! What are the highlights of the new model? 38lbs lighter, 15% more horsepower via lightened crank, electronic valves, electronic oil pump and different porting.0-60 stock at 3.3sec fastest 1/4mi fastest 1000' much more rider controlled as the riding position has move nearly 5" forward so you can articulate the whole sled with your body weight Even the short track now comes with a 1.75" ditchbanger track if you want Ditch banger shock valving on the ProX as well Built in GPS in the electronic speedo Seriously a major game changer. Makes everything else look like 1995. They seriously moved the rider forward on that beast!!!! I likey! I couldn't pay new prices either, fuck that when they depreciate the second they leave the show room.

I stared working at my dad's diesel shop and moms restaurant around age 7. If I wanted something I had to save my own pennies. I built most of my bikes from scratch as a youth, As I am a hands on kind of guy if you know what I mean. Good to here you are honest by fault. My kind of guy. Come on here with that purdy mouth. I have been watching Ebay for a pro. I had one back in the day, but damn they are worth ridiculous amounts of money now. Nostalgia is not worth that much to me and I'm too old to be tricking. The guy at the shop, Randy, has 20 1988 GT Performers still in the box he claims he wont sell. He had one on the show floor that was just the original frame and forks built up with cool accessories he wanted 5 bills for. The one I scored from my buddy is the limited edition in black with the mini replica and riding gear for, 400!!! CHA-CHING!!! Once I get board of it I can sell it to Randy, my bike guy I am sure for a pretty penny.

My bike guy is 6'4" so I know he will get the geometry setup for me on the bmx. They have an original Mongoose hanging in the shop. The one before they started doing the plate with the oval holes.

REALLY want a Haro. My cousin still has my Haro from my childhood, but he won't come up off it. I sold to him when I was like 13 and wanted money to chase split tails.

Good to hear Rick! I towed two vehicles in the last month. Not my car's. Anyways the mech I towed them to told my friend both were dead by just cranking the key. I laughed when dude said there's no compression, so its dead. One of them I would say is most likely just a timing belt. Amazes me how f'ing lazy some mechanics are. I grew up in my dad's heavy equipment repair shop, and he had a huge sign that read "pride in workmanship".

Another familly down the street makes tamales too. They put a wedge of carrot and potato in them. OH so yummy!!

Welcome to the IHoP v.2
Bought 4 dozen homemade tamales the other day!! My friend and her mom ran out of husks so they cooked them in foil. These things are like twice as long as a regular tamale, and oh so tasty!!
