yes its all relavent i no…. just wondered so i thought i would post my question

haha ^^

yes in surrey its normal. i saw 2 hecklers on the back of a porsche made me chuckle…

like i said already.

its normal if you have the cash u would buy it.

i dont care if you care was only a simple question asking why people buy them. if you can they obviosuly you would buy it.

but why buy something you will never get the best from it. surely its better to spend a little less £1.5k on something that will do everything the same?

thank you frizzer finally someone talking sense other than being stroppy ;)

emac is clearly the cleverest person on here…back to the original question

haha i wasnt riding but when i see they have no technical skill!

i wasnt racing down, when i say i piss past them, i mean riding past not going 35000000 mph!!! haha funny how some people get funny when im only asking why they spend money on it.

haha no im trying to see how people justify their expensive bikes when some poeple clearly cant ride them to their capabilities…

im back on holiday using a friends, my bike is at home in austria so im just wondering as its the first time ive witnessed it in the uk.

back home its normaly to ride these big bikes. because we have real hills.. ;)

;) just being er…. 'sarcy'

haha but when i piss on a orange 5 with my pop pop i think your a sad **** with too much money ;)

thats a fair point…. and im sure there are people out there that are good riders.. but im sure there is also a lot that aint like i saw yday

allthepies – not at all… im by far a good rider hence why im not paying £2k for a bike thats clearly better than me. i was just asking thats all. im interested.

i no if you have money then why not. but i would feel a little silly riding about on something so dear that i cant ride.

imagine going on a track with a ferrari and being overtaken by a pug 106 because you cant drive…

?

haha fair point…

just when im flying past all these expensive bikes im thinking 'they saw you coming with your fat wallet'

while they are huffing and puffing or tootling around

defeats the point of having such a GREAT bike when people are using them to the full capabilities doesnt it??

if i had a ferrari i would stick it on track not pootle on b roads…
if i had a orange i would abuse it and geat everything out of it not pootle on flats and slight inclines?

i like the sun so thats why i was asking…;)

i just bought a new bike so dont have the suntours no more. im impressed with it so far i just seen a super deal on a set of mazs so i thought about it thats all…

its a merdia transmission 2010 fully with 140mm front and rear

i had the same probs being 6ft5. i looked everywhere and called everywhere all sayin they dont carry xl bikes in stock and wont order them either. giant even said the same for their own stores sayn i would have to pay a deposit which is shit. in the end i bit the bullet and bought a XL 21" merida full susser. its perfect. shame that i just had to bite the bullet rather than trying a few out but im happy

i did also the same as some one mentioned. im a motor sport engineer and trying to find a job at the time was a waste of time.

i applied to several garages as a normaly mechanic to get some money in all sayin i was too qualified. i dropped the qualifications and said i was just a trained mechanic and found a job from the next cv i wrote after.

;)

try it, its shit but time and money etc.

i just find i get the views after a nice comfy and relaxing uplift. then i can enjoy riding along abit till i get to the downhill

but each to their own..

uplift up ride down, ride to uplift ride down… quite easy for me

haha its laminate… why?!

haha thats not bad, quite quick too ;)

Hmm Kate Moss. Not exactly a paragon of healthy living.

nope but shes skinny ;)

thats a quote that keeps me going

yep… i bought it in october 09.

the kind of riding i started getting into is slightly more dh ish. the pic above is me just finishing the section where my gf took a pic.

i need something a little more comfy and bouncy hehe.

the shocks at 100mm isnt enough either so… upgrade time.

nick

dun it im dumb

eat less, move more!

watch the biggest loser. current series the guy lost 90kg's in 3 months!

train your arse off and eat well and the weight will fall off.

i lost 10kgs in a month by walking, cycling and xtrainer every day 1.5hrs

30 mins each.

also do weights, muscle burns fat faster too so do a weight program too. just stick to 2 hrs a day in gym and you wont go wrong and i promise you in 2 weeks you will see all the hard work paying off.

and to quote the prgram that losing so much weight in a short time isnt good for you.. the guy said " i would never change it for the world, i feel the best i have in 15 years"

and a great comment from the stupid but clever kate moss!

"nothing taste as good as skinny feels" i always say this to myself when i see choc or shit coke and things!

i will be needing euro pricing. i can get it from bavaria too.. only a stone throw away ;)

nordkette singletrail mostly as i live only close by also this year certainly bikepark tirol…

where can i get one or a price for one???

where can i get one or a price for one??? im loving it
