Well, I'm not letting this abomination go...

"THIS MODEL WAS MADE BY BARRACUDA, DURANGO, COLORADO IN 1998"

That hideous thing was not made in Colorado... I doubt it was made in New York... by 1998 that eyesore has all the making of a Taiwanese turd!!!

What a waste of a perfectly good Marz Bomber fork!!! :roll:

Damn right Mix!!!

The kicker is it's local pick up only, you gotta get yourself to Perth to get it. Than you can throw it off a bridge into a Billabong!

Damn, looking at that hideous Cuda is like waking up next to some girl you regret... :? ...you can't bring yourself to throw a leg over and go for another ride!!! :lol:
