Add to that elbow guards, knee pads, and a kidney belt. I feel like frickin Robocop out there.

New from Congressional Motors: It's in the way you dress. The way you boogie down. The way you sign your unemployment check. You're a man who likes to do things your own way. And on those special odd-numbered Saturdays when driving is permitted, you want it in your car. It's that special feeling of a zero-emissions wind at your back and a road ahead meandering with possibilities. The kind of feeling you get behind the wheel of the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition from Congressional Motors. All new for 2012, the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition is the mandatory American car so advanced it took $100 billion and an entire Congress to design it. We started with same reliable 7-way hybrid ethanol-biodeisel-electric-cleancoal-wind-solar-pedal power plant behind the base model Pelosi, but packed it with extra oomph and the sassy styling pizazz that tells the world that 1974 Detroit is back again -- with a vengeance. We've subsidized the features you want and taxed away the rest. With its advanced Al Gore-designed V-3 under the hood pumping out 22.5 thumping, carbon-neutral ponies of Detroit muscle, you'll never be late for the Disco or the Day Labor Shelter (as long as you start out early enough). Engage the pedal drive or strap on the optional jumbo mizzenmast, and the GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition easily exceeds 2016 CAFE mileage standards. At an estimated 268 MPG, that's a savings of nearly $1800 per week in fuel cost over the 2011 Pelosi. Even with increased performance we didn't skimp on safety. With 11-point passenger racing harnesses, 15-way airbags, and mandatory hockey helmet, you'll have the security knowing that you could survive a 45 MPH collision even if the GTxi SS/Rt were capable of that kind of illegal speed. But the changes don't stop there. Sporty mag-style hubcaps and an all-new aggressive wedge shape designed by CM's Chief Stylist Ted Kennedy slices through the wind like an omnibus spending bill. It even features an airtight undercarriage to keep you and a passenger afloat up to 15 minutes -- even in the choppy waters of Cape Cod inlet. Available in a rainbow of color choices to match any wardrobe, from Harvest Avocado to French Mustard. A special high-capacity hatchback holds up to 300 aluminum cans, meaning fewer trips to the redemption center. And the standard 3 speaker Fairness ActoPhonic FM low-band sound system means you'll never miss a segment of NPR again. Best of all, the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt is made right here in the U.S.A. by fully card-checked UAW unionized workers and Detroit's famous visionary jet-set managers. Even if you don't own one, you can enjoy the patriotic satisfaction that you're supporting the high wages, good benefits, and generous Demo political donations that are once again making the American car industry the envy of the world. But why not buy one anyway? With an MSRP starting at only $75,000, it's affordable too. Don't forget to ask about dealer incentives, rebates, tax credits, and wealth redistribution plans for customers from dozens of qualifying special interest groups. Plus easy-pay financing programs from Fanny Mae. So take the bus to your local CM dealer today and find out why the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition is the only car endorsed by President Barack Obama. One test drive will convince you that you'd choose it over the import brands. Even if they were still legal.

Sierras in NorCal. About an hour and a half from home. Over 70 miles of fire roads and trails and a ton of single track trails as well.

Here's part of my crew at Deer Creek.

Hahahahaha..... Not were I thought it was going. Good one Scott.

If racing ruins your NAD bearings, I think I'll stick to trail riding.

What kinda trails have you been riding?

Yeah, that's one bad thing about ridin a sport model. If you can't carry it on you, it aint going with you.

Wow, this thread sure took a turn. Cancer took both my parents several years ago. It SUCKS!!!

Da...hang, you going on a ride or a weekend road trip? All I carry is a small fanny pack with some tools, tow strap, and a spare plug. Like MWKE, I never ride alone.

Thats correct. It shouldn't be too hard to mount the knob assy on an older style fender.

Thanks for planting that visual in my head. T.M.I Tom, T.M.I. Happy Thanksgiving and ride safe!

WOOHOO!!! This weekend is ON!!! Rain today then clear for the rest of the week. Snow level is a good 1500 feet above were we'll be!!! Conditions should be EPIC! Lindsey80 will have a handfull of new riding buddies! I just hope we'll be able to find a camp spot. Just me and a couple hundred of my closest friends! MWKE??? No response??? Can't find the dirt tires in the garage??? Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Oh yea, If I only had a nickle for every time thats happenned!

I hate when people bi*** and moan about riding in the summer cause it's to hot and dusty, and then bi*** and moan about riding in the winter cause it's to cold and wet.

If I recall correctly, the last time I invited you on a ride the response I got was "I don't ride dirt, for I am the SAND WIZARD!" Of course you're invited. If you think you can handle ya know dirt and rocks and trees and stuff.

Nice rig. I love those old Broncos. I didn't know you could kill a 302! Is it repairable or are you gonna drop a new motor in there?

There is a nice mix of trails there. Plenty to ride for a beginner. There would be a group of 4 or more familes ranging in age from 6 to 46, and yes, some are girls.

We've got a group going to Goldnote (Jackson/Pioneer area) the weekend after Thanksgiving. You're welcome to ride with us. We're still firming up the details but if you're interested, I'll keep you posted.

Trails mostly. How did you like mammoth bar? I just read on another board that that place wasn't to beginner friendly.

Hey Lindsey, welcome aboard. There are a few of us in Norcal on the board. What kind of awesome quad you got and what kind of riding do you like to do?

Arrrrgh, only for the 450R!!! Hey Bot, let me know when you're gonna get rid of your stockers.

Oooh, now you've got my attention. I'll have to look into that.

Listening to Bob and Tom this morning, I hear something about Slightly Stoopid getting busted in Fargo. Bot, isn't that your old band?
