    Great call in

    When Ned was talking about the bike cartwheeling I was dreading the next bit about how badly it was damaged - for it to come out pretty much unscathed is a testament to the thought, care and effort put into the bike design and build. Big respect to Ned and his team !

    Go Ned :clap:clap:clap:clap:clap:clap:clap:clap

    Wow. Love hearing Ned when he gets totally into it. Nothing halfway...that is a family motto. My heart dropped at the thought of cartwheeling on a motorcycle (this sport is not big-sister-friendly) but the laugh caught me. Thank you guardian angels.

    Lima or bust, Neduro!
    Love,
    Jen

    I'm going to listen right now. :clap


    Amazing how different it is from dingleberry pissing and moaning about every last thing. Just think of the lost opportunity for a documentary here. It would have been an epic story to capture.

    Gotta go listen.

    i posted this on FB to the original posting there, but it bears merit here as well...


    I like he uses the word "neat" alot... in my mind, I replace him saying "neat" with "epic", and it makes more sense as a call in from the Dakar.


    great call in, GO ned!

    Ned probably learned how to cartwheel right after he backed the toy truck with the trailer up!
