Best Bike to ride before a good listening session

Truthrider- love your rig. Been through many full suspension rigs- jamis dakar, khs, GT LTS, I-Drive, rode my buddy's Turner and a newer Foes too (all CC big hit bikes, not the overweight downhill ones. Rode a demo seven in tahoe last summer and I liked it an awful lot too. But my fave was my old Outland VPP5. A great monster truck bike at 26.5lbs. But I broke it after two years and they went out of business. Guess I need to go Santa Cruz to get the VPP technology now. My buddy got a Truth when they first came out. What a cool bike it was (and still is). Climbs like a goat and decends like a freak. God was that about 10 years ago? More? Crikey! Anyways, to get back to the topic, any ball buster to wear you out before a listening session, whether road or dirt is cool. Keep on riding (and listening of course!)

Y'all can keep your effete road bikes... Rides smoothly over rough pavement? He he. How about over a 6' drop onto gnarled tree roots? Me, I'll second the Truth! A sub-25 lb. bike with almost 5" of front and rear travel, climbs like you are cheating and swallows drops like a dream. : )

I'll be strapping mine to the car in about an hour for a run through the Catoctin Yellow Trail out here. Now, if the damn pilot would only stop running out of gas on the uphills...

I ride a SantaCruz Superlight. 24.4 pounds built. Quick and nimble full suspension. I'm going riding right now.

As for the road bike--none finer then the Serotta Ottro( carbon/ti full custom sizing on every bike) with full Campy Record and a set of Mavic Ksyium's. If I am going to thrash around in the mud, I just picked up a Cannondale SL 4000 with the new carbon lefty---WOW

Screw the pedals; BMW R1XXXGS! Don't forget the earplugs if you're
making it a long ride! And make sure to get off those paved roads once
or twice!
