    Old and angry: what pisses you off? The rants of ANGRY old men and women!

    Clowns on the local trails treating trailbuilding volunteers with total disrespect. If there is a sign saying to walk your bike through a section because of trailcare in progress, then WALK your goddam BIKE!!

    Riding in Vietnam

    As far as I am aware there is not much MTB "scene" over there (unlike Thailand and Cambodia, which do have a little). You certainly won't find any made berms or anything like that. Your tour sounds like an "offroad adventure" type of tour. I am guessing that what they call "hard" may not...

    Arent you over it

    Interesting thread. I know where some of you guys are coming from. It can be so hard to get organised and drag yourself out. That said, I almost never come back from a ride thinking "well that was no good". I agree on entering an event. Or you can just commit to a big ride...

    FOUND I am sick of Pawn Shops with stolen bikes !!!!!!

    If you do find your bike in a pawnshop (and can prove that it is yours) don't say anything to the staff about it being yours... say you want to buy it, pay them a deposit and say you will be back with the rest of the cash to pick it up. Then go get the cops. As long as you can prove it's...

    Long time lurker saying hi.

    Decided to start posting. I ride socially in Brisbane - mostly Ironbark or Gap Creek. I ride a Scott Aspect duallie (silver one). My latest plan is building/buying a steel hardtail to go touring in SE Asia and hopefully carve some singletrack while I am there. Looking at Inbreds or Jamis...
