Re: the "i shouldnt of done this" bike shove some fireworks in the seatpost, strap some on the frame, petrol all over the tyres.... worst £5 ive ever spent if im honest :facepalm: could somebody just please kill me now?

Re: the "i shouldnt of done this" bike well i have to do something with it now :facepalm: apparently this is my last bike until februaury :'(

so there i was, driving home at about 10am with the ktm on the trailer after a nice muddy session at a local track, look to my left at a pedestrian crossing on a local high st and saw a carpet/bed shop with a big pile of bikes out front, so me being me, i parked up and went and had a look to see...

no flash on my phone, ill attempt better pics soon but doubt theyll turn out any good.

havent got a decent camera, phone pictures are the only pictures that i can upload for now :(

well i need to get a new helmet, jacket, gloves and boots now but always favoured bikes over cars, cars to me are just a tool to get around if anything. you rode from scotland to london? longest ride ive ever done was 225 miles in one day when i had the bandit, 100 miles to rhyl, 25 miles just...

then be looking at something "lower end" one piece cranks, 12t freewheel etc :) just wait until hes older. if he really gets into bmx the spend will go as high as £500 lol

heres my bmx - its stored in pieces in the loft along with my wethepeople, nothing special. haro frame, three piece cranks with 33t ? front sprocket, 12t frewwheel, amity bars. not the best but thought id show it anyway :)

im not super clued up about retro bmx but i know my fare share about modern bmx if you can go for something like GT, mongoose, wethepeople, eastern, stolen, sunday etc and something with a 25t front sprocket and 9t rear cassette wheel. three piece crank and only the rear brake. thats the usual...

took a trip to Northampton and ive purchased a 2000 ktm125 ax and a kx80 scrambler with trailer. going to rebuild both and try get the ktm back on the road (came with logbook and a old daytime mot cert) want to give greenlining a try and might see if I can find a local track to ride the kx80 on...

few things have happened but nothing picture worthy. I got a brand new q/r wheel to match the front wheel but when I inspected it closer it had a buckle so working on returning that. bottom bracket has gone in. headset is about to go in today. got a set of cranks for it but they were ruined...

i could do that. we got a 1.6 piccasso 57k miles on the clock for £250 just had to mot it. its not let my grandad down yet. had it 9 months and gets used to tow a car transporter trailer. i just wouldnt do it for your "£2700 mondeo" because its not worth that anymore lol :)

your not the only one whos a tight arse. gf spent £4k on her c2. its been plagued with issues, fuel pump went first. then it was front drivers wheel bearing. then the rear lights didnt want to work at all. wipers played up for a bit. was a period when the dash and radio didnt work. at the...

ill be sticking to less than a grand then lol

i was riding a old moped from my 16th, did my full bike test when i was 17 and got my 33bhp restricted bandit 600, rode that around for a few months and crashed it in february, thats where i learnt to calm down on bikes. tbh id never drive like i do when im on my own if i have my little...

typically when a car goes into limp mode isnt it because of something stupid like a blocked injector or weak plug?

im doing motor vehicle maintenance level 3 at college and im on a work placement at a small garage, so if i need to work on my car its a case of be very nice to my college tutor to get it in the workshop and up on the lift. i got my own diagnostic equiptment, i dont really like working on older...

the only non sensored/ECU controlled car id ever have is a classic beetle. i think sitting down with a diagnostics machine for 15 mins to find a fault is 9 times out of 10 easier than sitting there stripping things trying to find the fault.

id rather not go on a actual track day because from what ive been told id have to make certain mods to the car to meet safety regs and id rather not mod the car. been looking at advanced courses etc and found these guys http://www.driverskills.com/ my mum and girlfriend think i should do a...

im not that experienced with cars and im learning mechanics but to me that sounds like a injector issue maybe timing or the plugs? when was the car last serviced?
