Thanks for the kind words man! Glad to hear that you got yours ordered. I do think the taller bars balance out the proportions a whole lot, and they make a huge difference in the overall feel and handling when riding. As for new bars, I wish you the ... more »

For some reason it has warmed up today from the overnight lows near freezing to a predicted high of 84F for today. As such, I jumped up an hour of riding this morning, even though my rheumatoid arthritis has my joints hurting pretty bad today. It’s supposed ... more »

That sucks. I’ve got medical conditions for which I am prescribed the good shit. If it weren’t for that, I’d be Cheech & Chong’ed out all the time these days.

With an injury like that, I’m guessing he already is. I’d imagine the docs hooked him up with some good shit to knock the edge off.

Lol

I am a fat sumbitch with enough meat on my bones to be comfortable in the cold. I’m also from Kansas City, grew up watching Dennis McCoy ride, and happen to ride a Haro DMC Master, so I can relate. Lol

That’s pretty awesome. I knew nothing of it before now. At my age/ability, it wouldn’t be a destination for me, but if I were younger and more talented on a bike it surely would be. Congrats to you on getting your trip organized. Looks like it would ... more »

Sorry, I can’t offer any insight, but your post has raised my curiosity. Where is this place you mention? I’m always looking for somewhere new to travel to.

That is true (my bike was a Haro), but Mongoose made the kind of bikes back then that a kid could ride anywhere without catching any grief from his buddies. If I hadn’t had my Haro, I would have wanted a GT (heck, I DID have my Haro, and I still wanted ... more »

So, is the Legion L100 the only complete bike of decent quality that Mongoose sells these days? If so, that is a shame. I’d like to see them make strides toward being what they were when I was a kid.

I gave up BMX for 25 years, and it is now far more physically demanding for me than it used to be. I want my youth back.

First of all... Your old school 20” looks amazing! I couldn’t be comfortable riding it, but it is awesome anyway. Also, glad this thread was helpful in pushing you along on a new purchase. Now having some riding time under my belt, I can say that the
