He lasted all of two weeks after the mockage. Hard trails do not treat thin skins kindly. Might as well sort 'em out BEFORE you take somebody 50 miles offroad.

Yeah, he seemed like the type to run around, screaming "GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER!" if he broke a tie-rod... Even if somebody had a spare and tools...

I want to believe that this guy was just a troll. Could anyone really be that stupid?

Because he has lots of HP with that exhaust tip, so he can out run them now.

I really want to add the wings mod to my TB so it can fly when I hit 88MPH

You won't fly at 88mph,you will go back in time....or forward!

But I do love what Doc said before takeoff "where we're going, We don't need roads!"
It kinda fits us!

I think bill has worn that shirt everytime i've gone wheeling with him... It almost should be ORTB's slogan.

Truth be told, I think it was on the short list. Then we just decided we didn't need one.

Wearing that shirt, I've never tumbled off a 4000 foot ridgeline. So it's now my lucky shirt. If it's not ON me, it's in the truck somewhere. Actually, my daughter found me a spare on Ebay, so they DO get washed intermittently.
