for the ride of your life

NSW ALP - take heed. You've had long enough to right all your wrongs and now the people have spoken. United in one defiant action of Dissident aggression is hot on your tail and ready to flick you to the pavement. Same could be said of anyone who tries to wrestle this mighty 4x machine from our grasp. The Brodie Dissident is all about attitude and standing up for what you believe in - freedom to shred, carve and stall as you take back the streets.....and the law. Tippo's Cycles have appplied a massive tax cut and this baby is now $600 lighter! Go go go!!!

We're on the doorstep of the 2009 bike season and brands are still falling over themselves to offer that 'one' special bike. News Flash kids....four years back a bunch of Salmon stinking Kanucks cooked up a storm known as the Norco 4by. Revolutionary at the time with an air rear shock and heavy hitting running gear, the 4by was born before the current crop of xxxx race bikes emerged.

Have you seen that UFC?! Ultimate Fighting where two clowns hop into an Octagonal enclosure and proceed to bash the living crap out of one another - with little to no rules and no regard for human life. This bike should be in that ring! The BigHit looks well suited to no holes barred, all out carnage. We doubt another bike would even step in with this Monster from Specialized. The BigHit FSR1 is a rolling advertisement for aggression and you can almost hear its sneering at the other pretenders as you roll on by.

If the Black Diamond Triple was a porn star he'd be one of those big hairy bears like Ron Jeremy that send shivers down petite spines with their very presence. This is boot trembling stuff ladies and gentlemen and the Big Bear demands respect. You may not find him all that sexy but he is there to serve a very specific purpose. That is the pummeling of anything or anyone game enough to take a nasty ride. Its the hair express to hell, and you have the whip.
