Nice pics, but they need to get a new inspector as when I rode it in 2003 it was quite rough (not terribly rough, but still fairly painful in parts).

A ride can be safe but still rough.

Or smooth but not safe...

MS sucks... is complete crap and has been for years now.  Unfortunately, I think the problems are the fault of the engineers.  The inspector just makes sure everything is safe and in spec.

Go ride Texas Giant to find out how good Mean Streak could have been ;)

Uh, only if you ride in the front seat...at least these days.  The wheel seats on that thing make Mean Streak look like a big old pussy cat!

At least that is the way it has been for quite some time, in my book at least.
