And it bothers you what people think . . . . . Why ? I assume as you are married that you are not a 14 Year old kid who feels the need to be accepted . . . Get over yourself get a leg over your bike and have fun riding it.

vitaminjayz

yeah i am married with kids ,just p1sses me off who do they think they are thats all

Why did you go for the US version?

The other forum must be full of rich kids if they take the piss out of that :shock: . Nice bike.

Honestly, dont bother what other people say. Have fun! Your bike is excellent, a million miles better than mine and a lot of others. Maybe if you had some crappy old saracen for £100 then people could say something, but not for a bike like this!

Ignore 'em - they sound like a bunch of toe punts to me!

Sweet ride. Real nice. Love the full XTR. Very rare to see nowadays, credit crunch and all :evil:

Keep riding, and blast all the 'haters' on they're catalogue hand-me-downs, out on the trail.

Providing that they make it that far :twisted:

That is an old us spec low end giant trance.They sent the excess stock over here because they weren't selling in the states.

Wow, that must be awesome riding such a rare bike around, aren't you worried about stacking it? I'd be relly nervus on such a pimped out machine, full XTR as well OMG :shock:

Dowse40

You must have taken that picture when the bike was new. It is in such mint condition.

i wud kill for a bike like that 8)

slamethidayat

if i have a bike like this, i don't care what people say.
i will fully enjoy my trail experience with it. period.

How is front and rear mech full? :P

XTR Mechs = £200
Full XTR = £1100

Why do you get hacked off because others don't like it? I think they're entitled to their own opinion really. I'm not a fan of Trances sadly, demo'd one and wanted to like it as they're good value, just didn't get on :P

Si78

I like it

As said above, people are entitled to their own opinions, its just depends how they convey that opinion to you!!!

Sometimes when people are jealous they come across as bitchy

As long as u are happy thats all that matters imho

p.s. nowt wrong in taking pride in your bike and cleaning it... I hate cleaning the house, but i love cleaning my car and bike
