C'mon guys, where's the love?

I say give BGB the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise, even though I too think that location is, ah, not optimal. At a minimum he deserves credit for style points and thinking outside the box, so to speak.

Which is not always a bad thing. Imagine the first coastal Indian with the stones (or starvation) to eat an oyster. His buds are standing around shaking their heads.

Brave #1 - did you see what Squatting Dog ate a little while ago? Cracked up a few rocks from the river mouth and sucked down the biggest lugey you ever saw. What a dipstick!

Brave #2 - yeah, but now he's in teepee making many wampun with all our squaws.....Hmmm.

Just sayin'.

Actually I don't curse, and I'm not condemning anyone that does. I just think the show is stupid and I would never watch stuff like that. Not on a high horse at all. I always think of others as above me. I would do anything for almost anyone...That's just my way. Try and not get too offended around here. Remember there are a lot of opinions here and that's not a bad thing. Peace man.

On a 2009 its 9.1 inches, I think its a tad more on the 06/07 bikes. So basically put the bike on the kickstand and lift up on the rear fender, then let it compress. That's just the free sag, probably an inch or two. Then imagine sitting on it. Another few inches. At most you're halfway in to the suspension travel. It seriously doesn't take much to load down the back tire on this bike. You'd be surprised. And like someone else said, rocks and road debris would tear it to shreads.

My advice? Wear a Camelbak with a small pocket and shimmy your neccessary tools and the paperwork in that. Only tooks I've ever used are the box wrenches and the open socket thingie.

Well deej, its what we who watch the trailer park boys call a Rickyism. Ricky is a character on the show who never made it past grade 7 but probably thinks on a grade 2 level. Whenever he would tell some one to F off, as in the curse word, he would ask them "dont you have any offs to F" they would say "what" and he would then proceed to tell them to "F off". Its actually quite witty.

Jrock420,
NOMESAYIN, I like your avatar. SEEMSAYIN, NOMESAYIN. PEACE

I weigh 175 lbs and was jumping as hard as I could on the back suspension and my girlfriend said I wasnt even close to my bag. I hear you guys on the rocks and pavement stuff. I'll definitely keep an eye on my bag's condition.

No, I can't do it. That's a slow floater, down the middle, the size of a basketball. No,no,no.

Hmmmm..........what what I've learned from this this thread so far: 1. Do not make fun at Trailer Park Boys, 2. I'm on a high horse (people who know me would find that hilarioius), and last but not least 3. If your bag is in a precarious position while taking jumps there is a small possibility you could lose your tool! err....tools.
