    Should this post be in the racing section under "Goals for 2010"?

    I'm actually having a hard time determining whether this is a joke or not.

    Not a joke. Sadly.

    The Elephant means if you get over that far you have elephant balls.

    Grinding the elephant off on the track would be routine, right? The street? I'm good for a 3, tops.

    well if your talking about riding the concourse obviously u cant go to crazy with that big of a bike.

    on the streets the elephant wouldn't be too hard to eradicate with the right bike on the right road

    on the track that elephant should be gone very very quickly

    Re: New Tire Technology

    I could get the the Elephant off if I take a trip to Deals Gap, other than that not many roads around here besides a nice tight chicaine in VT that just might do the trick!!

    That will certainly be a road trip a few times this summer!!

    Re: New Tire Technology

    Hell, you can just cheat in a Wal-Mart parking lot. It'll look kind of official because you won't generate all that much heat to give away that the tire has been on a track.
    Watch those paint stripes, they can give you the willies!
