Pete, can you help me out?
At 235/240 lbs, I've been abusing this thing for just about two years now and I haven't been able to break mine yet. I really want the new style upper swingarm links so I can fit a larger rear tire.
Do you think you can make a short trip to Florida and ride mine for a while and break it?
Your Ellsworth trashing style would be greatly appreciated.
Apparently Pete.'s upgrade wasn't so cheap. First he had to appologize to Ellsworth's customer service folks :-O Even though Ellsworth already knew his frame was defective and wanted it back under a recall :-( I guess Pete didn't want to give it back to get it fixed before he broke it. Bummer your frame is working so well. Maybe that's just how it's supposed to be.

At that time dog fighting was widely accepted and the way it happened was much more "humane" if you will. Today you hear dog fighting and you think ********, or thugs etc. Dead dogs everywhere, pit bulls attacking people. Back then, there were rules and a dogs owner could throw the fight at anytime and pick up his dog before they were seriously injured beyond repair and he was not frowned upon for doing so. A true dogman was very respected and he also would have made a pretty good vet. It wasnt done for the money, it was done for the name and for the sport and the dogs loved it the same way a blue healer loves to herd cattle or a sled dog loved to haul a sled around for hundreds of miles in freezing cold weather. Some people would argue that that is cruel.
It wasnt illegal then. Now that it is illegal we have other ways to let out dogs work like agility, dock diving, weight pulling, etc. I do not condone in dog fighting but i do choose to know the history of the breed that i choose. I use some of the same techniques to exercise them because they were they ultimate athletes of their time and still are today.
Just because you dont understand it or agree with doesnt mean you go around calling people ********. There are many things that were accepted in that time that are now very illegal today.

I hope you haven't been storing all that for 6 years......
