Any time bro !! Check with Ged the Hed in the UK as he is the Brooklyn king over your way. He will have something cool to show and have a go on.

And I thought that only Moto GP racers dragged elbows !

You can't buy them at all...these were hand made in very small numbers ( maybe 10-20 ) quite a few years ago...the fork alone, the Avalanche MTN 8 sells for close to 3,000.

Gotta finish up a class by end of May and hope my foot is healed by then...went on a few mellow rides this week to test the waters....looking forward to railing with ya at some point!! I have a few leads on "making some room" at the house...so we'll see how that pans out. I won't be doing the 40 foot to flatters that this rig lusts after, but can only imagine the 20 foot to trannies that this thing would couch out on... not that my RL and TMX aren't plush....but this is a dream BIG RIG.... Brooklyn style bro !!

Double your pleasure....with double boost gum !!

Does anyone in the house got any original spec on the frame travel/linkage rate... Is it 11" and progressive...while the TMX is actually regressive from mid to end of travel I do believe....which is why it will eat any shock but an Avalanche.

Bro I am soooo tweeking about this !!! I am absolutely out of room unless I move a motorcycle or two..... If you get it B4 me can you give me a deal on that TMX post on Fleabay????? "Need it" !!
