Hey Mark,

I'm the somewhat obnoxious Hawk owner that you met at Horizons VA last week. It was great to meet a fellow Hawk owner, but somewhat embarrassing when I referred to you as a "noob" without knowing who you are on this board. Yeah, I've put my foot in my mouth so often that I've become accustomed to the taste of mud \-:

Are you still planning to take your Hawk to South America? You mentioned being on a quest for a rear shock that isn't like a pogo stick. Any luck? Unfortunately my shock never bottoms out. Instead my lower back gets slammed every time I hit a whoopdie or pothole.

It was great to meet you at Horizons. I do apologize that I left an less than stellar impression. I'm not always like that. Just mostly )-:

Cheers,

Corry
