    Status: offline     		Take you time, break it in right and keep us posted. I'm sure you have read of the broken parts to expect to break. I have not broken anything yet, but I have not bashed it yet.
    Have fun and let us know how it goes.

    Status: offline     		Its cold here (40 - 45) so I am hoping for the best. Luckily I can start it in the back of my warehouse so it will not be too cold when I start it. I hear of all the broken parts... this puzzles me. I am an unfortunate owner of a Maximum MT with the stress tech parts and actually think they are too soft. I run that truck all year (25 - 110 degress outside) the parts never seem brittle. I've rolled that truck 20 times end over end (wish I had a video) and all I damaged was the fake fog lights on the body. I guess we will see...

    Status: offline     		I have read that it's good to warm up the motor with a heat gun (I used a hair dryer) to releive some of the pinch on a new motor. I had warmed mine up the first time I run it and accutally got it too hot on my first run, no harm done that I know of. As for the temps outside that should be fine. I'm in Pa also and I havw broke in mine in those temps, you shouldn't have a problem.

    Status: offline     		weekend, remember that you maximum doesnt weight 12 pounds, so that plays a large roll. i wouldnt worry too much though as it seems like a very strong truck in my opinion.

    Status: offline     		For anyone who thinks the body sits too far foreward try swaping the body mounts front to back. This moves the body back about a 1/4".
    Looks a lot better.

    wyd, yes I know what you mean, I love the mountains and outdoors. Winter is a realy long season for me. I have a trainer I put my bike on and watch tv and ride in the winter.
    If you live around the area and like riding I bet you have been to either Mt Gretna or Stoney Creek to ride. I guess you could of gone to Michaux State Park to. I road some a Mt Gretna and Stoney Creek. Mt Gretna was the best place for me. I like riding in the woods even if my skills are lacking.

    My friend from grade school owns In Gear Cycling and Fitness in Hummelstown PA. Back many years ago I bought a Schwinn Homegrown Factiry Team XTR. Man it was a killer bike but way too good for me to have thats for sure. I only bought because of my buddy owning the shop. Under no circumstance would I normally of done that. I have always ridden Schwinns since 1979 when I was a kid but since they are a department store bike anymore I guess I would look at some others if I started to ride again. Maybe Cannondale since they are a big dealer of those. So many cool bikes out nowadays its tough to decide. IF Schwinn came back I would still buy theirs but I don't know if that would ever happen again or not.
