c-lo Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I've had some wrecks over the last couple years that've left me tentative about drop offs. ordering forearm/elbow pads, can't get used to pads on the knees/shins yet. we'll see what that does for my confidence. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbastard Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 The armor still doesn't help me...the only thing that got me close to doing some stuff was riding DH with some local pros. Don't get me wrong we weren't racing but I was able to kind of hang with them for a lot of the run so I was building confidence, occasionally enough to try soemthing I wouldn't otherwise do. But I did end up taking a dig bounce digger. Problem was it was on a relatively new trail so there were lots of 2" high sapling stubs sticking up, damn those hurt.

sactojesse Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 this'll be my first 12 hour solo race. aiming for 6-7 laps, (60-70miles). using it to train for the shanandoah 100 Good luck! I have tons of admiration of solo endurance racers. I just did the 24 Hours of Adrenalin event at Laguna Seca (Monterey, CA) as part of a five-person team. It was brutal and fun at the same time. I can't imagine doing it as a solo rider though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-lo Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 as is with most races, half way into I'll be asking myself why I'm doing it and that I'll never do another. thanks for the luck, I'll need it. races are addicting. it started small with the biathalons and grew.

sactojesse Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I was in Whistler, BC, for a week of DH and FR fun. Here's a shot of me going off the famous GLC Drop, which is like 4-5 feet at the face but you can drop about 7-8 feet if you have some speed off of it.

thevams Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I just picked up my first mountain bike, Specialized Rockhopper disc. I have been riding my fiend's old Gary Fisher Wahoo. I have a '07 Spec B, and i am trying to find a bike rack that doesn't touch the car. The racks that fit over my spoiler still put stress on it when going over bumps.

Kargurra Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 You could always go with a hitch-mount rack. I've been fighting with the idea since I picked up my LGT. I already have one for my outback, which is great - I don't have to worry about banging the bike into the side of the car for the roof racks, and no scratched paint with the trunk lid racks. I think the OEM one should fit, but you may want to check some of the threads. (I doubt there's anything different with mounting to the Legacy GT vs. the Spec B sedans.) The problem I have is driving around a sport sedan with a trailer hitch! If you've lowered your car, you may have clearance issues, but if it's stock, the OEM one seems to have the best ground clearance, from what I've read so far.
