Anybody know the largest size sprocket I could fit on a Rueben?  

Anyone run an MDS 30?

Got this back from the paint shop on Christmas day, and just stickered it up tonight!

Chrome forks with 990 mounts?  How so, what forks are those?

thanks but just saw wire bead fafs are now at 30 a pop here so too much, are shadow tires any good?

I really liked my shadow tire when I had it.  I only got cause it was on sale at the shop and needed a tire in a pinch.  It was a 1.9 Undertaker I believe.

Super grippy.  Wore out fast but I got it cheap.  Would buy their tires again.

To put it as simple as possible..drugs.

That, and I believe he is also brain-injured.  I had read somewhere that at a local house party he was given the boots pretty good.

Everything I have heard/read sounds exactly like a friend of mine.  This friend was an amazing athlete, shy, drinking at a booze can, talking to a girl when said girl's boyfriend flew into jealous rage and boot stomped him with his friends.  

In the years since then, my friend had told me that sometimes, he just didn't 'feel right', like he was experiencing things, but just not remembering them.  All sorts of odd behavious--combined with drug use led to some of the most entertaining and sad behaviours.

I feel bad as drugs are seemingly his and Steven's 'escape' from their pain.

Brain injuries are no joke.  Combined with drugs....
