With a plan to push the limits of road biking as far as his lycra legs would dare, Martyn looked to get his ultimate ride out of the awesome Pinarello Dogma 2. This bike won the 2012 Tour de France

I am stunned that some one could ride a road bike like that! He has talent for sure!
the crazy part to me is the tires are 1/2 the size of the bikes they use to do the stunts in the vid

That guy on the bike is amazing.
Why in the world would you let something like that sit?!

Found some info on it, and it's historically significant which makes it even more of a travesty.
Thanks for the link and info on that truck Lowgear. I just found it and didnt think to look anything up on it. Hope they rebuild it soon.
Big chevy fan spider, love those tires :lol: , for sure there bigger then my 35's :lol:
No worries marlo, you have me beat lol I just have 235/75/15's yet. LOL! Im a big chevy fan too.

i liked chevys till 1987 then i liked dodge and ford .. loved the 90s 4x4 dodge front ends and the 4.7 motors. ford 90s always had that cool front end people setup for offroad racing and the f350 was always cool.. new trucks i hate everything about 2013 dodge truck.. ford is ok but they did a crazy door setup for years ..i think new chevy trucks did the right thing buy keeping trucks simple.

Yeah, but it's mostly just because all of the other animals are jealous because they got the best name. Well... except for the Wombat, but that's been a given in the animal kingdom for years...

Although one could make a pretty strong case for Howler Monkey.

I figured you to vote for woodcock, and woodpecker as the best animal names. :lol:

Well so are tons of other African animals. That doesn't mean they aren't neat looking and don't have cool names. :P
