I have a 72 monte (currently in restoration) and the new ones are CRAP compared to the old ones.  I have a friend who just traded in a 02 ? Monte because the trans was starting to slip.  I love chevys dont get me wrong, but if the stang is a V8 it is better as far as construction and life after miles is concerned.  As for the women thing, I see a lot of chicks driving mustangs, so if you get the stang you better trick it out if you want to stand apart from the ladies.  The monte has sexy lines, but the mechanical soundness is a turnoff.  (Dont pull up on a girl and try to talk to her if she cant hear you over the rattle under the hood) Go old school, chicks really dig that.

this is definetely a great site and the x-18 is the BEST pocket bike there is because it offers a honda based 4 stroke upgradeable engine...yes, there is a whole world of aftermarket upgrades for this bike and any other..i wouldntget the interceptor....sadly, all those fun looking little japanese and chinese made pocket bikes arent good at all....no one realy services them and they break frequently...go-carts are a better investment

I own an 05 165 Burton S-series and for what it is, I like it alot.\n\nWith the skins on, in walk mode, it works very well on steep climbs. Great traction and the fairly short length make switchbacks easy. The board is heavy and after a long hike I really feel it in my hips. The fact that you don't have to lift your feet as high as you would hiking with snow shoes on and then not having to ride with too much extra gear on your back evens this out for me a bit. I'm seriously considering some lighter bindings to help lighten the load as every ounce shaved makes a difference on a long hike. \n\nWhen you get to the top putting it back together is simple and it offers a great ride. In soft snow conditions the difference between this board and a non-split board is hardly noticable, it's a little softer than I'd like but that isn't a big deal. In hard conditions you can definately feel the difference but this has never bothered me as I would never ride this board in anything but powder or spring conditions. I've only dropped some small cliffs (10 footers or so) and it seems to handle it just fine, again it's a bit soft for this (at least softer than boards I like) but it stayed together no worries.\n\nNow for the cons. This board sucks for touring. In walk mode, always keep the skins on and don't try to ski it. Waaaaay too short and soft not too mention that the binding interface in walk mode isn't the strongest or stiffest of attachments. If the conditions are right and you practice alot you might be able to pull off some tele-turns on it but I find it's more trouble than it's worth. I find that it is much faster to just walk it (meaning using the board in walk mode with the skins on) over rolling terrain as stopping to put it together for a short descent and then taking it apart again for a climb and then repeating takes too much time and energy. Some friends have suggested I try kick-skins with it (kick skins are very short narrow skins that you stick to your base just underfoot and they allow just enough traction on flat ground or small climbs but allow for enough glide to make the skis a bit more skiable) but I haven't had a chance yet.\n\nOverall, it shouldn't be your only board and I'd never take it out at a resort but if you plan to make a lot of trips into the backcountry it's a great board for that. Definately practice with it on short backcountry trips before you really go for it. Oh and be sure to study up on your avalanche knowledge (consider taking a course) and never go into the back country alone and never forget a probe, shovel and beacon. You don't want to die out there.\n\nHere's a good website to check out:\n\nhttp://www.splitboard.com/

I could see the wind resistance, but there's several issues that come to mind with being vertical: 1. how does the driver see to drive? Granted, I'm picturing a bob-sled configuration here... 2. It compacts things horizontally, but enlongates the vehicle, especially if there are more than a couple of passengers. Wouldn't t a longer vehicle increase traffic congestion? \n\nNow, getting to your question... 3. I don't think it would be safer in collisions because with a lower profile, there would be the concern of one vehicle going over the other.  Also, compaction from a straight-on collision would drive legs into the body...?\n\nI think for safety, the issue is more about how to reduce compaction and then shock to the body.  Maybe we need a car that has a passenger pod similar to the Anecia baby seat:  http://www.americaninventorspot.com/node/937

Wind protection! On an upright cruiser bike, anything over 70mph makes you have to hold on for dear life... Haivng a windshield protects you from wind hitting your chest and wanting to pull you off the bike... Also stops bugs from getting in your mouth (if you wear an open faced helmet), and rain from pelting you...being hit on the flesh with a bug or rain drops at 75mph is like getting shot with a BB gun...its stings! \n\nI have a new Kawi Z1000 which is a "naked" bike - has no fairings. But, it has a small little "flyscreen" windshield. Surprisingly, this provides enough protection to get the wind off your chest and at least up and over your shoulders...

I have been a watercraft tech for 15 years on sea-doo, kawasaki, and honda`s new watercraft for the 2 it`s been out. The 2000 gtx had 2 different models the RFI w/787 engine and the limited w/947 engine.Both are good ski`s but I`d prefer the RFI model. THe 947 needs more maintainance and goes through engines while the 787 will last a long time.If you want a good ride the GTX is what you want.Being a 3 seater it`s longer and rides much better than a 2 seater in choppy water, and isn`t easy to tip over like the 2 seaters are.It is also alot easier to get on to.Also you must have a 3 seater to pull a skier legally.So yes a 2000 GTX would be a perfect personal watercraft for you. Hope this was enough info and you have lots of fun on it!

Take a look at commuter/fitness bikes. These are generally relatively inexpensive bikes which are a hybrid between mountain and road bikes. They're designed to be comfortable. I use an older Specialized Sport, and I ride to work most all summer. You may be able to get one used if you don't want to spend a lot of money.\n\nAlso, get a good set of lights (front and back) and reflector. Even if you don't intend to be riding after dark, you really don't want to be stuck without it. You want cars to be able to see you. You may also want to look at getting a rack and some pannier bags to tie your stuff to your bike instead of wearing a backpack. I have a nice padded bike bag for my laptop.

I really like bone reds.... they are really reliable and FAST! They are really nice and if youre willing to spend alot of money then go with bone swiss's. The beat trucks I think are Grind King (GK) they are really strong and can handel any grind you can throw at them. If you dont like those phantom 2's are pretty good also. \nHappy Skateing

because trek makes a newer better one each year. one of the bikes he was using wasn't great for some types of road riding. if you haven't already, check into the other carbon fiber bikes, and read the reviews! make sure it's going to be the best bike for YOU. especially if you're spending that kind of money!

Take a look at the Cannondale Vintage and Street ranges. My wife recently bought the Vintage Headshok Nexus - I think its a great commuter bike for several reasons:\n\n1 The Nexus gears are completely hassle free when you're having to stop and start in traffic and at street crossings etc. You can change them on the move or when stopped and they never graunch!\n\n2 The chain and all cogs are completely enclosed - so no oil on your work clothes.\n\n3 Standard fittings include light-sensitive automatic lights powered by a Nexus front hub dynamo thats so efficient you're not even aware is functioning. It also has a high quality pannier rack integrated in the design.\n\n4 The Vintage comes as standard with a wonderful Brookes handmade leather saddle. These take about 100 miles of pain to break in and thereafter they're moulded to your anatomy and perfect for the rest of your cycling life (I know, I've used one for 20 years). To match the lovely saddle the handlebar grips are in the same stitched leather - classy and comfy.\n\n5 The combination of old fashioned upright stance, black finish and high-tech componentry looks truly cool!\n\n6 The Headshok system is perfect in town and on shale track. So its practical as a weekend tourer too.\n\nHave fun!

I always wanted a 4 wheeler but couldn't afford one, so I ended up buying a 200x (3 wheeler) instead. Once I had that, I was hooked! It is true that they are 'more dangerous' but they are ALOT of fun as long as you know what your doing! Just remember to lean when you turn...just like a dirtbike, otherwise you can flip easily.

Burton is by FAR the best. The only problem with them is they are marketing geniuses and know a thing or 2 about getting your hard earned cash. My Burton Canyon is now called a Baron and has a $100 higher price tag. They are the EXACT same board. Stood them up side by side at the board shop, same EXACT info on the tags and everything. Like I said, it's all marketing, but they do put out a quality product. One of those love/hate deals, lol.\nI have Ride boots and Bindings, had em for 6 years now so they definitly can take the wear and tear. Saloman makes some nice stuff too as well as K2-good boards.\nWhen I bought my canyon, I bought one from the year before that the board shop had in the back of the rack. Caught a NICE discount.

redz rule.i've had mine for about six months and they are still fast as heck and i haven't needed to do anything but spray a little WD40 on em. black panthers and tensor oust bearings both work really well, too. my old school deck is set up with reds and since you do any tricks on that type of deck, i use it for cruising and hills, and the redz work.

The Equinox model hasn't been in production long, and shares it's platform and driveline with the Pontiac Torrent.  From what I've read and heard the Equinox/Torrent will probably fair out well in the long-term, though.

Well lets see it's the best sport ever!!!!!!! Lots of awesome riders and it's super fun to do. I love Motocross, Riding is exhilarating and thrilling makes you feel the ultimate Adrenalin rush. Broke my scaphoid(wrist) in a slide out corner, but was worth it. Freedom... as it is a bike, and you can go super fast as well as jumping these machines to unbelievable heights. I've try ed all different types of bikes for ex. Honda 80cc,200,250,Kawasaki 100,and the latest bike I've ridden is Yamaha 450F. This bike is way too big for me but it is still thrilling to try out.My Old bike was a Honda 200xr and it was a great learning bike. But I like to jump and you need better suspension. So I'm in the midst of buying a new one. For now I ride My mans Honda 250cr for fun. This bike is too hairy for me , as I'm not that big of a body type to ride such a beast. If you ever get the chance to go to a show you should check it out you wont be disappointed. You can always rent bikes as well, but make sure you wear all the protective gear.Enjoy and let loose:).
