VectorBoy 0 #1 July 30, 2003 I'm thinking ( amazing ) about bringing a MTN bike to rantoul instead of forking for a forking golfcart. Question is good idea~ bad idea? Useful? overkill? not needed? replies? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #2 July 30, 2003 VERY GOOD IDEA The golf carts are stupid expensive! Like $40 a day or barter for a live lesbian sex show. Then they seem to get flat tires non stop. Oh.....maybe that's only when Sunshine drives them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewmonst 0 #3 July 30, 2003 yup, bring it. i bring mine, use it sometimes when i need to run accross the grounds for something quick... hard to do though for getting on a load. peace lewhttp://www.exitshot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VectorBoy 0 #5 July 30, 2003 I'm thinking about running for stuff not realy about making loads. Never been don't know what stuff to be running for, just sounded like fun. How far are showers? where is the laundry facility? do i get to scrub on a rock? should I care about laundry? Even for ten days? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riddler 0 #7 July 30, 2003 Probably a good idea, but I have step in pedals, and I would hate to have to put on my bike shoes every time I wanted to hop on it. I think I'll leave my bike home.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #8 July 30, 2003 Take a bike lock! And probably a few cinder blocks to lock it to. Or your bike will probably wonder. Not get stolen, just get...um...borrowed. Possibly borrowed out the back of a Skyvan...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b1jercat 0 #9 July 30, 2003 It might be good to have a bike , so you can pedal your ass for jump tickets. blues jerry asshat comment here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #10 July 30, 2003 Eitherway, I'm just jealous since I'm not going to WFFC this year. I'll ride my bike around the DZ this weekend so I can feel like I'm actually there...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

PhreeZone 20 #12 July 30, 2003 If you bring one bring a lock.. not to prevent it from getting stolen, but to prevent it from being used in some 3 am very drunk golf cart drag races down the main runways... although I know nothing about said activites. Ridine a bike while smashed could be interesting, make sure to get plastered then ask some one to video you Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #13 July 30, 2003 I've ridden across campus so drunk I could barely walk once...well, it seemed like a good idea at the time and I made it through without falling off too many times...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

A friend of mine once left our bar in Korea after a night of EXTREME drinking. OK...so it was NORMAL drinking for Korea. Only illegal in the States. Anyway...he starts off...it's winter and there are several inches of snow on the ground. Get's to the bridge next to the shop. Plunges down a 15 ft embankment walled with rocks. ( A "Binju" ditch for those of you who have been there) Landed on his head and fractured his skull. Knocked unconcious he lay there until some Army grunts found him on their way to PT. Good thing they get up early. They saved his life. He still lost his sense of taste and smell in the ordeal. Oh well....just another night in Korea. Moral of the story. If you ride drunk.....take a helmet!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #16 July 30, 2003 You mean you don't have a Freeride bike? With 28" of suspension travel, that weighs 40lbs?

VectorBoy 0 #17 July 30, 2003 Nope just a state of the art...10 years ago... MTN bike. Not on it much nowadays that I've become a fat bastage. Still don't want it desicreated out the back of the van. I'm saving on old jetski hull for just that purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh.....maybe that's only when Sunshine drives them. I was only responsible for 2 of the flat tires last year!! And you gotta admit, bartering a lesbian sex show for a golf cart was a good idea. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!
