Hey how you doing

[RikDH]

Joined in May but then went away to work, so here I am now saying hello, hope you don't mind me joining cause I ain't local, living in Scotland UK.

I just like to be nosy, see what and where ppl are riding (I get jealous) and crashing, just seen your 2006 crash vid !!

Keep up the good work, hopefully one day I can get to ride the Cali mountains, only made it as far as main land Europe so far.

Any photos of where you ride?

Welcome to the jungle, bro. I have 2 questions. One are bike parts in europe as expensive as I have heard (I have heard 2x-3x what they are in america) and second does the draft up the kilt distract your riding, or do you guys wear lycra undernieth, or do they make tartan lycra kilts or what? We must know!

I know Rik from another site...I've been pretty evil about rubbing in how lucky we are with our weather.

I watched a bunch of those vids from Scotland and the singletrack looks very familiar.

Bike parts are bloody expensive, in some cases you pay less in dollars than we pay in pounds, so if you are in the shipping business !!!!!
As for Kilts, I may live in Scotland but I'm English, so sorry no photos of "Up my Kilt".
Anyway Kilts are very rarely worn daily, mainly for special events, festivals, weddings etc.
Oh yeah, before you ask, Loch is another name for a big lake.
Get out and ride !!

PS Just checked a Scott Ransom 10 on a US site compared to a UK site,we pay the equivalent of $1,240.00 more. You sure you not in the shipping business?

 

[SAR_boats]

Ah, English. Didn't kno. Apologies. Just looking for insight, as it were. I am not in the shipping buisness but if you need something bought and shipped from here let me know. I am not too sure how customs works over there but if I can help you out I will

 

[RikDH]

Chris, no problems with the Scottish/English, anything else you want to know just ask.
Don't worry I will not ask you to start shipping things for me "much!!"
All the best,
Rik
