    So after flinging me to the earth, dislocating my shoulder, cutting up my face and knocking me out, my Knolly Endorphin hitched a ride to Arizona to go do what it does best. This was the same week that Rox did her Luxury Trip, but I don't think they saw each other.

    Unfortunately, it wasn't me and my bike, it was "Me And My Bike" Which, by the way is an ironic screen name at this point.

    The temporary pilot thought it best if he used his own front wheel/tire, thus the horribly mismatched color scheme. That's what she (the bike) gets for stepping out on me.

    Here is the temporary pilot letting the Endorphin do its thing:

    And, with any luck, here is a short video of the Blue Beast making easy work of cool looking section of trail:

    I think this is the first RR a bike has ever done. :lol:

    I can't believe you would willingly let your precious cheat on you like that, and to wear a blasphemous outfit to boot!

    I'll be up there 4/16-4/20 on my post-tax season getaway. Unfortunately my rig will be staying home this trip as it's suppose to be a trip for the Mrs. and I to spend some time together since I've been working crazy hours lately. I am going to get at least half a day in at some point so if you know of any places in town that rent bikes and/or can recommend any "must-ride" trails I'd appreciate it. Hope you have a good time!

    I dont know. You have to ask my bike. I wasn't there.

    Rear brake sprung a leak somewhere, but I think that may have been a residual of my fall, and not Mo induced. So, yes, Mo was riding that stuff with only a front brake. I think the bike will be returned in better condition than loaned, as it should be.

    I hope you took out an insurance policy on your bike before it was abducted and sexually assaulted by Mo. On the bright side, it is a first for Mo to return a bike intact! :lol:

    Great RR, makes me miss the West Coast! Mo, good riding buddy, miss riding with ya!

    I am happy to report that my bike was returned to me yesterday in BETTER condition than when I lent it. Fresh rear brake bleed, cleaned, lubed and adjusted. Of course, I haven't looked it over for fatal cracks, but I think it's all good. Chalk one up for the Knolly surviving two weeks of Mo.

    Interestingly, it was returned with the fork adjuster in the lockout position, the travel adjust set for low and the CTD set on climb. Either Mo's last ride ended in a super steep, smooth climb or it was the result of inadvertently moving levers while cleaning the bike. If neither of those things are true, then Mo just had all of the levers in the wrong configuration and rode a nearly locked out, 120mm fork and nearly locked out 140mm rear. :?:

    Judging from the Grand Canyon shot of the bike, I am guessing he moved the levers while cleaning the bike.
