Limerick Competition on Niner Facebook Site


My entries:

I once bought a RIP from those Niners
A second one,  SIR. Nothing’s finer
But I am not set
For I’m going to get
A new carbon R.I.P. free from Niner!!

==================================

O.N.E. time they said S.I.R. can you R.I.P. it ?
A 29er M.C.R.ae ? or a idjit ?
W.F.O.? A.I.R. you kidding ?
J.E.T.ison brain and go shredding,
rE.M.inD.er:  Just hop on and.... Pedal. Damn It.

The world's first electric 29er...


This is my new... oops... the new bike for my wife (it reminds me of someone!):
  • 500 horsepower (ok, watts)
  • 45 km/h, more if you "Pedal Damn It"
  • 90 km range
  • 21 kg
  • and the best for last: a boost throttle, as in video games, no need to pedal!!!
The question is: do you recognize this bike?

A fine ride on the Grand Salève!

Many thanks to Boumboum and Papy for the fine ride and superb chili!
C'est froid...Nascar?
Ghost rider.....Boumboum?
A bit of air.....?!
Snow sports with a view on the Mont Blanc...!

What we learned today;
- We will never see Nascar carbon ride (again)...unless we go riding with Jozette.
- Dopey can piss people off without saying anything...you girly!
- Boumboum dares to call Missile a chicken...only before the start of the season?
- Missile can make beers evaporate.
- We know a very, very good address for chili and chilling with friends...!!

Big smile.....Thanks to all Joe's involved!

2011 - Year of The Missile !!!?

Well, somehow I doubt it, but when Joest finds employment, maybe I'm in with a chance.....

Anyhoo... - there's already a fight to host the first ride between Dopey and 3 Decis but...3 decis you need to check your dates for daylight savings - you are wrong!!
So as a reminder: The first ride will be on 29'th March from Stand de Tir de St Georges

The 2011 ride calendar is now up and running (see page above), so if you already know you want to host a ride, just fill it in - you all have access.

Below you can see my new ride for 2011.....it should work well downhill!

VTT No. 5

My newest acquisitions. Fat Tire beer neon sign behind bar in basement and notice my license plate on my Suburu Outback. Miss the mountains and I'm jealous seeing everyone's posts showing them riding in Juru and Saleve the past few weeks. We have almost 1.5 ft of snow on the ground here in Peoria and it's been down to -9 Fahrenheit over the past week. Can't wait until Spring to get out on the trails and ride in mud!
No. 5



Yesterday......it was sunny on the Salève
