    do ya?

    just finished building this lovely piece of machinery for my dad. he's super stoked on it, and is looking forward to some gnar plowing :bang:

    official test ride is tomorrow if all goes as planned. still needs some different colored decals. possibly a zero-stack headset down the road, but all is well right now.

    Nice! Solid-looking build on that...

    I'm sure you charged him in beer for the labor, right? :beer:

    that seems to be the way that things go around here...

    I just rode this around in the street back to back with my reign, and it RAILS corners. it's not even funny the difference between the two, even with the heavier spring in back (less sag => higher ride height => less turning braapness)

    I do want one for myself now...

    yeah, the park PW-4. it takes off pedals, makes a great kick stand, and has enough heft to ward off zombie attacks!

    +1 on Intense, they rock. My 2008 6.6 that is supposedly so "flexy", with the right build (solid rear axle, coil shock etc.) rides with the best of them.
