Ride it, I suppose. And I can't imagine just one best aftermarket thing. They all mean so much to me. For example I sobbed with relief when I fell on my face in Moab and the Acerbis hand guards protected my little fingers. Later, I wept with joy when the Works shock hauled my fat butt all over North America. Another time I practically peed in my pants when a big rock slammed into the Moose bash plate. Sometimes I wish I didn't actually need the Russell seat. When BORG members see it they laugh and call it a winged feminine pad, and I feel ashamed. Fireball

it isn't going to happen until George W is coronated because Gino is having seizures each night worrying about what he's going to do if he has to put up with another four years of a democrat. Seriously, the list has to rise up and start chanting Moab, Moab, Moab, Moab, the date setting isn't going to happen until you put the pressure on him...(g) Kurt

For me, the one absolute essential was the fork brace..

Hello Jaun and e-group. Thanks Jaun for the right up on the North trip. I enjoyed your writing and your report on your travel. As a person that lives in the north I can understand all you went through. It is a great place to live with the beauty of the out doors. But the outdoors can be very unpredictable. You have to be prepared for the worst all the time. I must agree this summer was the worst for rain in a long time. This summer I knew of a couple biking up this way and had to turn around due to the bad weather and the fact that they did not come prepared for the weather. As for your bike, make sure it is in good working order, because parts even tires are a couple of days away. One question Jaun, where did you bike from? Keep up the good work! Rick. Northern BC.
