Your best and worst bike?

My best has to be my Ross with a big yellow and black banana seat (just like this one in someone's picture).  I slapped on some BMX tires and beat the hell out of that bike, it never ever let me down.  I didnt take care of it, I just used it hard to do things it was never designed to, like jumps, dirt you name it.

My worst by far is my AMF Roadmaster Hawk 5 with the red mags.   Cost my brother a huge gash and scar on his chin when it failed at fork welds.  Also cost me my front teeth when chain popped off and sent me over the bars.

I love my Redlines but being that they were valuable and I knew it, I was so careful with them I never got the raw enjoyment that I did with the Ross.

Re: Your best and worst bike?

I loved either my 8X Haro Master or my Aggressor and its a toss up for hate between my Bully bashquard or Dyno detour. They never fit my style of riding and the bully cracked.

If it came down to it Id love another Master if I could ever find one. I'd even Part with the agressor!

Re: Your best and worst bike?

My favorite was a haro backtrail. It was a surprisingly smooth bike for how heavy it was. The only problem I ever had with it was bending the front rim but I did beat the living hell out of it. The worst was a 2010 redline asset. It lasted me about a week before I cracked the top tube.

Where the music stinks, and they water the drinks, at the nudie bar.
Where the girlies dance in their underpants, at the nudie bar.
Where you see their butt, and their trap stays shut, at the nudie bar.
Where you can’t touch a breast, but you can cave in a chest, at the nudie bar.
Where you look at a thigh, and blacken an eye, at the nudie bar.
Where a buck’s enough to see their stuff, at the nudie bar.
Where the breasts may be fake but man do they shake, at the nudie bar.
Where you swear like a sailor, and wish you could nail her, at the nudie bar.

Re: Your best and worst bike?

Best - Back in 1983 I bought myself a brand new Hutch Pro Racer. Took me a year to save the money and work my ass of doing odd jobs. I loved that bike and some jackass stole it.

Worst - My 1984 CW Phase-1 (got my CW when my Pro racer was stolen)was also stolen and insurance company jacked my parents around so all I could afford was an off the floor, 1985 GT Mach One complete. Biggest piece of shitt ever. Mallet stem was a joke, hi-ten steel bars failed in the first week, components were crap compared to what was on my other bikes, I hated the white paint and I never liked GT anyway.

I wanted an 1985 JMC Andy Patterson as a replacement but I had no extra money, neither did my parents and the inusrance company never gave what my CW was worth so I eneded up with that damn GT. mad

Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.
Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.
