I regularly hit 40+ mph on the mountains around my house. Sounds like a heck of a good time Dude it really puts me on the edge. I was getting addicted to the speed, and danger of it. Then I had a bad wreck where I dislocated my shoulder real bad. Now I just cruise for the enjoyment of riding, and the exercise. Although I still hit some of my favorite hills once in a while. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

My biggest scar is on my left shoulder from wiping out in a t-shirt. When my skateboard started the dreaded speed wobble I knew it wasn't going to end well.

Ah yes. The dreaded speed wobble. Many factors contribute to this. Also many ways to correct it. I got them at about 40mph going through a sweeping right hand turn. I was able to ride it out no problem. Although I was really scared. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> And lucky.

I can guarantee that I was not going anywhere as fast as you seem to enjoy going.

No chopping yet but I did baton some firewood.
I didn't get pics cause I was in a bit of a hurry. It was a late dinner for us.
I was making firewood for the pit so the gf, daughter and I could roast hot dogs for dinner.
Mmmmmmm!!!!

Nice! I eased my B11 into action tonight chopping up a pine bed. Tested it alongside the DF LE.
Nothing conclusive because of my poor technique but it definitely does a great job. The DF seemed to bite deeper but the B11 got through the wood in slightly less chops.
Will have to continue to compare the two.

I had been using a khukuri with a 9" blade for battoning (sp?) before and HATED IT!!!! The wood is Lodge Pole Pine which is a soft wood. It is somewhat knotty but not bad.
The wood handle on the khuk was beating the heck out of my hand!!!!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Res C!!!!
Chopping with the khuk wasn't to bad but I think that the DF is gonna be way better than 'not to bad'!!
