  • Congrats to T99Ford

    I just saw today that Tyler got featured over at Pipeburn.com for his VTR build. It's nice to see he is getting some well deserved coverage for his work.

    Wow, thanks man--I appreciate the shout-out!! I was pretty stoked to be considered for the feature. It's not half as good as the rest of the bikes on there, but maybe has some shock factor. The comments (both postive and negative) on the feature are terrific. They show that you can love or hate this bike (or both) but you can't be neutral!

    Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die

    Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba….Hunter S. Thompson

      Congrats T. I'd have to say I'm neutral,but only because I can't.

                Really, thanks you guys! I suppose it is the thoughtfulness of this forum that keeps me around (without my ol' XS).

                The comments on the article were interesting, to be sure!
