Picked up my new ride just last week... and have put about 100km on it so far, and lovin' it!

Going from a hardtail to a full suspension bike is quite the transition. I'm still quicker on the trails with my hardtail -- but lovin' the fully suspended miles nonetheless...

this bike is so close in colour to my car that I'm tempted to get black vinyl done up so it blends in with the racing stripes on the car when it's on the bike rack ...

it's not the bike that's slow...
it's a 27lb trail bike with 5" of travel... it can be scary fast in the right hands.
and Nik, the MSRP on the bike is about $2900.

I love my Canadian Tire one for 300.00. For saving that much money, I bought boost! Now I never ride my bike... :lol:

if you loved your $300 bike, you'd probably ride it once in a while.
and yes, it's a good chunk o' cash (if I paid MSRP), but it's worth every penny when you hit the trails at speed.

Maybe you should wear clothes when in the hammock.
