Beef. Why? Cos he
looks like a side of it. Well, he did when he first met OM and Doc at BTT,
things have changed since then. He is currently employed as an engineer
but he thinks that if he didn’t have this job, that it wouldn’t be all
bad to just do NOTHING!
Beef has been
riding for 29 years and in that time he has amassed a collection of bikes
: His sister’s bike, a Raleigh Chopper, a Kuwuhara ZX1 BMX, A Guerciotti
Road Bike, a Trek OCLV 5200, Trek 930, Marin Indian Fire Trail, Balance
AL750, Trek 9.9 Pro OCLV. His current rides are a Trek 5900 OCLV, Trek
5500 OCLV, Trek 8500, Trek STP 400 and a Trek Cruiser Classic.
There are a bunch
of people that have influenced him to ride and they are the kampung boys
in his neighborhood. His dream road bike is the 5900 that he has. His
dream mountain bike was the Trek 9.9 Pro. But he broke it so where do you
go from here?
In the years that he has been riding the best advice received on riding is
‘Drink only on the flats or going downhill’ and ‘don’t slow down
once you’ve crested the hill.’ The best advice he has given on riding
is ‘Don’t ride behind Doc!’ (sorry Doc!)
He has a strange idea of his best cycling moment : Crashing during a race
(cos he didn’t have to finish it). His worse cycling moment : Getting
his Marin stolen.
His best bike related purchase is his Polar HRM and his worst bike related
purchase : Nike Cairns MTB shoes. (check out the flames in Tapeworm)
He has a big best non-bike related purchase, his Volvo V70. His worst
non-bike related purchase tickets to ‘Silence of the Hams.’ And
‘Lord of The Rings.’ (terrible show)
