And here's a link to the charity if you want to donate or buy some stuff in support. I've ordered a sticker for my lid. It might help if I get pulled over

.................think I am like most in here, at 16 and 17 all I wanted to do was wheelie, and if, as sometimes they came back down sideways then a £100 FIZZIE was all I was risking, now the stakes and potential repair bills are a lot higher, and TBH I think I have lost a lot of bottle since then !...

WOW , , he should have set up his own religion

When I lived in Gloucester I used to go to the odd hill climb at Prescott , if nothing else it's a lovely place especially on a sunny afternoon. I used to take my little lad and we would grab a sped half way up the hill and watch the old boys in their pristine cars bounce off the embankment or roll ...

Look forward to seeing all the new kit on a rideout, hopefully very soon, I'm itching to get out.

Me too, that why I am in buying mode its a kind of substitution to keep thinking bike but without actually riding one !! weird but true !!!

I can now answer the original question set by this thread ! I have to say that the experience is very positive ! The frame sliders are of the highest quality I have seen and very robust. Same goes for front axel and swing arm sliders, can't fault quality on any item all at a fraction of UK sourced g...

Hi Jimmy, just caught up on your hello. I live in Rainhill, only 3 miles away. Keep in touch for new riding season, out most weekends. Cheers

..................good on you Cookie......................maybe I am just too soft these days !!

............................that's a heck of a list of parts Blade, you must have spent a fortune !!!I thought I was pushing the boat out with end can, screen and HEL hoses

I only did it when I had too, ie 16 year old apprentice going to work on a Fizzie and 17 year old going to work on an XL 100,both went down the road many times, after that experience never again. Fortunately I now have options but I still only ride in the warm weather, I just don't see the point in ...

Kwacky, b****ks to the chip details for entering a door or building, its the 13 or so GPS satellites tracking your every movement that s***s me up !!

He is a boy isn't he, but I am glad I don't share a house with him.........................there will be a Fatwha out on him shortly

...............Duke, I don't know what all the fuss is about for the 1299 that break reservoir looks a bit wobbly .........

............might be worth a punt

My dad has been taking the p**s out of me for the last f...

Falling heavy this am in East Merseyside, just a few centimetres at the moment but keeps on coming.Not a day for the bike

I just looked at it, looked at the snow outside, sighed and wished it was April !

...............Would that be cowboy tassels on the bar ends, a peg and playing card for the rear spokes ( authentic engine sound) and double thick brake blocks to try and out brake an R1 ?
