Oh biking how I have missed it.
About three years ago my beloved mountain bike was jacked. Came home and was asked
"Ryan you move your bike or something?"
"I replied no why do you ask??"
Receive an Oh Shit look...
"My bike isn't on the balcony??"
I head to the balcony... table - Check, BBQ - Check, Bike - WTF!!!!!!
Note that I lived on the second floor at the time. Needless to say I was pissed. I loved that bike and rode that thing at least 10 hours a week. And it was gone. Just a few scratches on the railing as a reminder.So 3 years pass - unable to afford a new mountain bike. I may have expensive tastes.
Then praise the Jesus - A fellow Air Rider has his bike for sale - Dirt jumper 200 dollars. So I go check it out - Nice bike but not exactly what I was looking for. We chatted for a bit, he showed me his project Jetta. And then I saw it... A bad ass Kona Stinky. Thought it looked like an awesome bike. But at the time told him I would think about the Dirt jumper. So I head home.
Next day I message him.
"Gotta ask, that Stinky - it up for grabs? And what would you want for it??"
He replies that it is and gives me a price. I like said price. In no time at all I have driven out to the Park and managed to stuff this full downhill bike into the back of my Gti. A tight squeeze but she fit. I love my car.
Been a great start to Spring - been out biking a ton with friends and by myself and man alive I forgot how much fun it is! Not to mention I have now begun to jump - even more awesomeness there.
OH SHIT YES - I GOT YOU GOOD YOU FUCKER....
Ryan - 1
Mouse - 0
Told you I would get you.
Don't forget to always Enjoi.
