Seems like a fun Challenge PLB activity

How many challenge vets can go to the ER the night before the event?

In reply to Patrick :

I got this.  I'll be rocking all of my DH mountain bike gear.

i'm IN

In reply to AngryCorvair (Forum Supporter) :

Sorry sir but I think you're over my recommended age for riding it.

For the record, I've ridden this all over the Challenge and the Mitty without hurting myself. Maybe I should give a seminar at the Challenge.

It sucks getting old. Getting hurt sucks more.

I'm glad that you are not hurt too bad.

Apparently if you do a faceplant with a helmet on you don't hurt anything else. 

In reply to Stampie :

LOL.

He's also still young enough to bounce

Trike???

Uh... that could have been REALLY bad.

Is it time to sell this thing to somebody we don't know? I've owned vehicles like that before, but didn't think this rose to that level. 

In reply to Tom Suddard :

The only reason I got that pic is the head bolts came loose.  He asked me to bring the hex keys so that he could continue riding.  Honestly it's just being aware of everything you're doing unless you like a surprise.

You weren't trying hard enough.

Ace noticed that the front wheel has a bad wobble. Figured it was bearings so I took it apart. Bearing seems fine so not sure why it wobbles. 

In reply to Stampie :

It's letting you know that it is capable of death shimmies so it can throw his a$$ again?

Hey Stampie, remember when Tom said maybe this belongs far far away and you said this?

In reply to Mr_Asa :

Tom's scared.  We're not.  We're also not as bright as he is.

It says a lot about me that this thread just makes me want one more

Check whatever that thing has for steering head bearings for play and/or notchiness.

Thanks.  I didn't get the joke on my phone but it's pretty clear on my tablet.

If you can find the piece, you'll be up a running with a hose clamp around the hub.

Otherwise, looks like a job for JB weld.

In reply to jgrewe :

Takes too long to dry. Zip tie that mother.

Y'all have some brave suggestions for people that aren't going to be riding it.
