There is usually a bunch of guys from the Hat camped out @ Porky's @ Beaver Creek Campground on the long weekend,pretty much every long weekend from May on.
As has been the case I can't get there on the long weekend,after that though is good!!

When I a...

Pro-Action Suspension

I'd just like to give Chris a big :applause: :applause: for the great service he gives.
Great service at a reasonable price!!!
I've had 2 sets of forks done in the last month,both done very quickly and to satisfaction.
You guys in Calgary are lucky to have him in the area!

Also I am 5'9" and found the seat height to be too high,I ended up shaving almost 1" off the seat the...

I'm not riding so I might as well be here!!! :banghead:
Should'nt say that,put 300 clicks on the DRZ in the Cypress Hills,lots of riding just not exciting stuff,high speed fire roads,lots of turns,better than not riding at all!!
