Unexpectedly I'm now the proud papa of a....................YETI!!! It finally happened after all these years. I was doing my roomate a favor by dropping him off at this guys house in pleasant hill where he was picking up his new Motorcycle. As they were doing the paperwork, I noticed there were about 10 bikes hanging in the rafters of this guys garage. I started peering over them checking out the custom steel gunnar, the funky recumbents and the carbon kestrels, and then I saw it. A glimpse of the signature Yeti Teal, there it was in the far reaches of the garage hidden away a gem with slick tires no less. I thought to myself that, "I"ll jokingly tell the guy if he ever wants to sell it give me a call". But before I could say the words he said $15 and it's yours. Internally I said holy-f-n-s%$#t!!! on the outside I said, "are you sure?", he said I never really rode it, I said "sold". So there it is my first Yeti, I've been dying to own one ever since I first saw the Yeti ARC hard Tail, oh well I'll settle for the Yeti SL.
PS- This puppy is loaded with XTR, XT, Thomson, RaceFace, ChrisKing. I am still pinching myself. life is good.
