    Rider down, serious injury

    New Marz quality?

    Been leery of newer Marz since my '07 888 Slata, and the very not-so-great afterservice or sourcing of needed parts that came along with it... The '08s were much of the same, sloppy as Surrey girls. How are the new ones? Kind of (cautiously) thinking about a 55 or 66 ata. Or maybe...

    Troy Lee

    Who's done a D2 crash replacement? I took a poor line off a rocky drop, and did a perfectly good lawn dart impersonation. Outer shell is surprisingly still good and uncracked inside and out, but inner polystyrene is smooshed and needs to be replaced. Should I prep the KY for...

    I went somewhere interesting...

    ...last weekend: Gaesong city, in North Korea. Not too many foreign people have been through this area, was cool to see. People were just as curious about me as I was about them. You bastard Americans are not allowed in the country, and South Koreans can only do special group tours...

    True Wisdom

    It is said that a 'smart' man learns from his mistakes, and that a 'wise' man learns from the mistakes of others. I try to learn something new everyday. Sometimes it happens. Sometimes it maybe doesn't. Or I learn something without realizing it? I guess everything that happens in...
