nice!!....that baby's got "GOLF COURSE" written aaaaaaaaaallllllllll over it! :mrgreen:

A man after my own heart. I day dreamed near continuously while I owned my banshee of a night time jaunt on on the local 18 holes. Particularly when they'd had the sprinklers on. It's small town here & the course is right near the trail head where you could just disappear on the mountain. Of course having just typed this I'm pretty well implicating myself if it ever does happen  :cry:

Interesting that they wanted to put it back together again. Both of mine have had the ends cut off (arthritis) while repairing rotator cuff injuries. The weird thing is the remaining bone will grow calcium straight out. Looks like a pure white extension on the end of the bone on the x-rays. I was part of a study group to have the 'anomaly' checked out by X-rays at no cost to me. I have a couple of cool video's of the original operation when they ground off the ends.

I say it only because we've lost SOOOOOO much land that used to PRIME trails and old fast fire roads from the 1940's and 1950's over the last 30 years, that got plowed into these....(I hate to say it), beautiful golf facilities....and the 1st thing that comes to mind whenever I see a beautifully landscaped/manicured course is...."I'd love to rip across that with a fresh Terra-Flex strapped on the rear!!" :evil:

How do you like that tire? Would you please compare it to other types you have used? Thanks.

I haven't bought one in a few years....but,
they're really heavy, big, and wear faster than I'd like to see for the amount they cost....but when they're new, hold the f**k on, cause they do hook up!!
overall, I won't buy them anymore...my terrain chews em up too quick, even though I'm in mostly sand, it's a course sand with a lot of stones, and some black loam trails.
And they're just too "heavy"...you really notice it, over a 120 or 130 Dunlop or Michelin.

When I was a kid we'd wet the lawn & slide the 3 wheeler , it was a riot

I love the tflex , other than wear = 6 short rides to bald, have you run one since they came back to the U.S. ?

the last time I ran one was in 2011...I'm not sure if that would be inside that time frame or not.

That one looks a lot like the one that got taken?!?! Sure you didn't just loose it in the garage and re-discover it? 😜
