We are all Mad
As most of you know I'm in the process of repairing my rex after an excursion down the road.One off the comments made to me while my bike was up at the shop being assessed was that any body else would have walked away with the money and bought a newer bike,but not a TRX owner,no they are all mad,they want their bikes fixed.I'm mad,I admit it.I didn't want another bike I just wanted my rex back.I bet I'm not the only one out there either.So vote in the poll and lets see how many of us are mad.

Re: We are all Mad
If I stacked my bike and if it was rebuildable I would rebuild it. If this makes me 'mad' then sign me up for a padded room with a view.

Re: We are all Mad
I think that is normal for a TRX owner. When my first TRX was run over by a truck. The insurance company wouldn't let me buy it back. I was miserable for a while then when I looked around for another bike I ended up with another TRX. Just something about them.

Re: We are all Mad
Hi rocket60!
Why calling it mad when having recognised that a TRX is a very good - and often underestimated - bike!?!
(At the latest the TRiXie gets its right estimation by four cylinder drivers on the track
e.g. when doing a 1:51,50 in Schleiz while repeatedly overtaking the four cylinders at the end of the rare straights and even on the high-speed downhill pasage 
)
Who would bother about a 150 + hp bike what is very much more difficult to handle on the tracks when he or she can have a TRX
Normal greetings from Munich!

Rebuiling mine after a stat write-off...had to source a new frame and forks and everything, but it's in the process. Bring on the completion!!!
Understeer - when you hit the fence with the front of the bike.
Oversteer - when you hit the fence with the rear of the bike.
Horsepower - how fast you hit the fence.
Torque - how far you take the fence with you.

Re: We are all Mad
Hi,
love mine to bits, would not get rid of it even if someone offered me stupid money, 9,000 miles totally unmolested. All my mates think its the coolest bike, and best of all, when its out and about its the only one that gets looked at....
And best of all, its all mine.......
