When did you build up the new ride?
Clay: Right after Interbike.
You haven't been able to ride it much, how's the ankle?
Clay: Yea, it's been a month since I have rode. It's hard not to, especially when you look at a fresh whip everyday. I had to take my chain off so I wouldn't be tempted to ride. But the ankle is as good as it's going to get. I'm ready to get back on the grind.
Who are all helping you out with bike parts and stuff?
Clay: Mirraco/Black Label hook it up nicely with new parts. If my old parts are still ride able they go the my homies. We all eat'n.
What are you looking forward to the most, riding which spot?
C
lay: Just riding, cruising downtown with the ipod in chilling and filming with the homies. I can't stand sitting inside watching t.v. Any travel plans where you want to take this bike?
Clay: Naw, no travel plans yet, but I'm trying to make it to Cali soon.
Scared to scratch the paint?
Clay: Haha, I can't front I am. But it's bound to happen.
Thanks to: Everyone at Mirraco! Lenny and Mike for being hella cool and hooking me up with the best dinner I ever had in Vegas. Bart for this bike check. Peg-Leg, all my homies you know who you are!
