Ive been mechanic 4 my kid cousin this weekend and had a bast round the track on a couple of bikes  ; Im thinking after the car goes into the bodyshop on June 1st, Im gonna stop spending on it and get a cr 125 and start racing.....should be fun 
Im well knackered now tho, didnt realise how tiring it is

Ive had a couple of bikes but only semi raced them, turning upto a few local meets, but Im thinking of travelling a bit further now - heading around the country.
it cost £70 membership to ou regional club; and then £15 entrance fee for racing; which isnt oo bad, when u consider how good it is.....
nehow Im on the lookout for a new bike, gonna plum for a 125, either yam or honda - probably a cr125..... but gotta get a tow bar fitted to my car; how do u make a tow bar fit a psg2 rear??? arrrgh, just thought about that

I used to be into schoolboy trials, then i moved on and got a DT250 which was pretty cool - i used to go over the top and decided i better stop. If i had a bike i would go stupid on it and probably kill myself in the process so i dont have them anymore.

Used to be into it and raced nationals in dh mountainbiking too. Toyed with the idea of getting a YZ250 for the summer but dont really need the hassle of servicing it every 5 mins again..

If buying an mx bike privatly be VERY careful. A lot of bikes are made out to be newer than they actually are. It's easy to make a 1995 model look like a 1999 with new plastics etc etc so take someone along who knows what their doing

well all you have to do is check the numbers! i had a log book with mine saying what i paid for it and the engine frame number etc!
write down the frame number then ring a large reputbale dealer for that make and they will tell you the year!
like corby kawasaki etc
