imschur Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 For a week I have been tearing my apartment and basement apart looking for my mountain bike shoes a pair of Sidi Dominators. I have had them for years and there was still much life left in them. Sadly they have vaporized and today I broke down and ordered a pair of Sidi Dominator 5's. So far this week I bought a vacuum and shoes. Im such a girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNP Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm so disappointed. I would threaten to revoke the man card, but you handed that over a while back. Does anyone else hear panties wadding up in the background? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm too old and been at this too long to change now. I like being clipped on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I crash alot...and usually on unforgiving terrain. Need to be able to jump clear of the carnage whenever possible lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Was it at least a Dyson? Or did you get the eight pound Orec? I don't know if I could swing a vacuum that weighs less than my AR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I bought this vacuum. Regarding the shoes most of my riding is slow and filled with numerous small obstacles like small downed trees, large exposed roots and what looks like dried creek beds. Much of the way I handle this stuff is being able to pull the bike into the air with my legs. I like bouncing and hopping around. Im hoping that with the new bikes ability to lockout the suspension that some of that old hardtail feel will come back. My sugar took a lot of effort to bounce over stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else hear panties wadding up in the background? I can hear him setting his purse on the counter top... does that count? It "clunked," with all the poop in it.

planeflyer21 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Sounds like some folks around here need a Clipped-In Cholla Challenge in the Tucson Mountains. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 My first mountain bike was a 1992 Cannondale M800 "Beast of the East". Great bike, simple, reliable, effective and light. It was also my first experience with toe clips. Took the bike to my old ladies which is in the same industrial park where we work. At the time there was a lot of factories under construction so there was a lot of fun terrain. So I ask the little woman if she wants to watch me ride, naturally she agrees. So Im wrestling getting the toe clips "just right" and the entire time she is voicing her concern for my safety. Finally as Im approaching this little 10 foot section of sand I snap at her "I know what Im doing" and not 3 seconds later I hit the sand, the bike stops dead, stays upright for a few seconds and we fall over. Not missing a beat she says "So you meant to do that". To this day I still hear about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Did he say chola challenge? Is that some sort of competition where you stencil on eyebrows with sharpies....? Oh...you're talking about that nasty Mexican jumping cactus. The stuff that jumps at you when you get anywhere near it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
