Yo Jon! - good locale, this is about 20 minutes from me and right up the street from my pops place.  I have a broken thumb that i'm supposed to chill on until early august but I'm dying to ride my autopilot tag tribute so I think I'm going to have to disobey doctor's orders and at least cruise aroudn the lake once or twice. I don't have an OS bmx to ride though, is the tag mobile kosher?

And an FYI for the fishermen: my pop lives literally a mile or two from the lake, is an avid bass fisherman (he's in Canada right now on a fishing trip), but he NEVER fishes the lake.  It may be he just has better spots to fish but the last time I fished the lake, probably about 10 years ago, all I got were blue gills and I was throwing worms, top water stuff, and crank baits.  If you guys want I can text him and see whats good with fishing the lake nowadays?

I'm in

He11 yeah! Doc said it would start to feel better before August and it has so its time to start pushing the clock. Those Profiles I got from you last time we met up are on the AP w/ fresh paint.

I can't view the trade page, mostly I just come here to droll over bikes and occassionally buy stuff, but I have stuff that needs a new good home.  FBM Angel 20.5 F/F, 3/8" rear wheel, USA sprockets 33 - 30t, USA hub guards. Search the Philly CL for the ad, email me or PM me if you need something.

Got the scoop on fishing the lake too. My pop does fish at the lake on occassion and says that off the boat docks is decent because the water is deep close to shore.  Near the dam is also good though you can't fish off of the dam.  The other end of the lake has a decent deeper hole closer to shore.  He did say it's tough from shore but those are the spots unless you wanna wade out there some. He said he got a 5.5 pounder out of it last year so there are some bigger bass in there, getting to them is the tough part.

I was just looking at the FBM on CL - that is bad ass. Makes me want to put together a newer bike =]

BUMP

I pulled a 5# bass out of there last year on a popper at night. We went a few weeks ago and didn't catch a thing. It's hit or miss fishing but you can't beat the view.

I'm thinking that I am going to try and make this one, sounds like a good time. Looking forward to meeting all of you and getting in a good ride. My '83 Proline II is still at C4 so I will be rocking the '94 ELF Cruiser 24.

hope to see ya there John!!!

I was really thinking I could make it Brian but I have to pick my oldest daughter up in Cortland, she is at my fathers this week. Take good pics so I can see how much fun I missed! Still waiting on my Redline from Chip so I'll get in touch when I get it back and show you some pics.

Cool. thanks Jon.

I'm just gonna bring something to cruise on then.

I need tips on some moves. I used to kick ass, now that I am old... not so much, HAHA.
I wasn't gonna bring the Quad cause the brakes are crap on it. Fine for moves that need no brakes... but since I'm not Trevor Meyer; I still need brakes, HAHA. Maybe I'll toss it in the van anyway. My Quad is the best riding bike I have... just those f**kin brakes. I spent HOURS on the rear brakes/rotor... and they are just mushy. The front should just need some tweaking. I rushed the bike together for the Philly BBQ, bought 2 bikes since and have been F'ing with them and not the Quad lately.

yeah, my front Nippons are tight, but brake poorly, I think I just need to adjust them slightly.
The rears are a mix-match of a black set and a white set... could have something to do with it... I dunno... but yeah, the night I set em up,  they were BEEF! now, more like tofurkey.
and BITD I swore by Nippons. But my ACS 860's on my redline and pure f'n BEEF. stop on a dime. I think it's that f'n rotor IMO.
Yup. Trevor Meyer was always my fave. Guy is a madman.
Cool Bro, See ya tomorrow.

Yeah if the trails are all muddy and crappy - I say we ride through D-town. It's pretty scenic there too.
Plus a few great places to grub and hang if we decide to.

D-Town = Downingtown?
