Awesome sauce. Your pics took me back to my youth.... <Since typing that I have kitted myself up, gone out and ridden a few miles in the winter mud / sun.
Thank You!!
P.S. Do you still have 'those' tights? (You know, the spangly gold ones)?

Thanks for all the comments, been busy with LIFE since I was last on a bike some 12 years back.
I Worked for Zoobits (now psycho?) for a few years before heading to Rotterdam to work with RST for 2 years, but also met the now missus at the same time so was commuting back to UK most weekends, so left my dream job
Hooked up with USE for a summer before getting a proper job...selling lawn mowers :shock:
Picked up RC off road racing cars at the same time and have been very active with that, doing national races finishing 4th last year and 12th this season with my truck, just started buggy (the top class) and got something like 98th out of 140 odd drivers. Same buzz as MTB but with less exersise and pain. Pics in other albums on photo bucket...http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i319/JabberingJimbo/Losi/?start=all
Decided I need to get fit again and have always been watching the videos (danny Mc, rampage etc) so the disease is still in me so to speak, will need some serious winter 'training' before I show my face to the public...lol Just missed out on a cake & tea run in Brighton......damn.
I just need to sort a few things so I can ride as my helmet don't look to good or safe! and got no pedals....this time we have the internet and digital camera's not like the old days, my pics are on 35mm slides or just prints.
Been in the garage all morning, not seen the tights yet!!! Sure most stuff must have been 'lost' but may have a few things at my Mum's so will have to pop round for tea and a shed dive...
I did find this top though
Do any of you have scans of the MBUK mags that I was in? Would like to re-build my porfolio before the memory fades completely....post up here.
Now do I go get a retro bike......Wonder if any of my old ones are still ridable...proberly not.... :roll:

Welcome! Fantastic to hear from someone I used to read about in the old mags. Great pics! I am intrigued what the e-stay bike with columbus tubes in pic 33 is (with sonic written on it).
Enjoy your new bike!
