ADDED ANOTHER RIDING AREA. THIS TIME IT'S ONE OF MINE:
Of my whole site I think the area pics page has the greatest potential. I think it's cool not only to see where some of your guys ride but to actually see a place I might want to try sometime makes our sport a lot more interesting. Check out one of the places I ride around my area called French Gulch. It's beautiful and challenging at the same time. Take a look then follow the same format and share your favorite riding area with everyone. Enjoy!. Jim

CANNONDALE POSTS SERVICE BULLETIN SB02-010:
The fuel pump wiring is such that if the negative wire grounds out it will cause the fuel pump to constantly run even when the bike is not running. This could damage the fuel pump, cause a fuel leak or even a fire. Make sure your bike gets this simple heatshrink update ASAP!

MADE A FEW MORE SITE UPDATES:
Thumper Talk has added a bunch of new forums so I figured it was about time I updated ThumperTalk Helper. It's a little bit bigger than before but I hope you find it as useful as I do when switching between forums. Secondly, I started archiving past months news so the front page isn't as long. The archived news can be found at the bottom of this page. Enjoy!
