here goes my peace of crap. 94 VFR dyno. aint a good part on it, everything is ether bent, worn out, broken (iv had to weld the frame back together) or in the case of the breaks just plane missing. it has more miles on it than some peoples cars, and i still ride it a few miles a week.

Mostly street, some dirt still.

See i would still ride brakeless, but I ride about 3 hours a day. And i end up needing new shoes every 3-4 weeks.

and the local shop just sold, and the new owner gave me half off of everything for the brake setup. :]

that don't surprise me, everything here is flat and paved. makes it easy to find a good place to ride. its weird that i never see anyone doing it. everyone i know of is into dirt

I love dirt! I am way better in the dirt than on the street. I can almost do a tailwhip with my Specal'ed (if you take away the "iz" in specialIZed it is special ed)

I don't really like vert, park, dirt, or flatland. Street is so much more "general", I could ride in Downtown Baton Rouge, go to LSU and ride, or a place off the interstate. Plus, I could ride everywhere in New Orleans and have some fun with the NOPD, they don't care what you do.

haha. Vert scares me :[

I'd hit up the skate park down from my street but it's all little kids now. I used to hang out with some skateboarders and lead a big train through the skatepark, but now it's practically impossible with all the little kids! The only reason i don't just ride there and take the chances is the parents they bring get so pissed that one chassed me away :[ (He had a coke can!!! i was scared!)

No way, trash that thing. If you wanna build a new bike then save up around $1200, or you can buy you a Fit Pro or something.
