Fairplay he's got an interest.
But where on earth can you spend £6000 on a bike.
That is a BRAND NEW Tornado, on the road!!!! 160mph italian sports bike, or 1" framed pushbike?
Where can they justify £6000? Not even a carbon bike, with oil front and rear dampers, pukka gears and carbon wheels would cost £6k surely?
It all adds up, luckily there’s less parts on a bmx prob only spent a lil over 1k on mine over the years

The hubs are around £300 on there own let alone things like suspension

thats madness
Sheer and utter madness
I used to think the bikes, all aliminium (when I was about 10 ), oil and air compressed suspension, think they were GT's or something, they had pukka bikes. Banana rear swinging arms, disc brakes before they were mainstream etc.. But they were only £1.5k (had the top Shinamo (?Sp) twist gears which were brand spanking new out).
£6k, sniggers to myself, bent over, lubed, poked, creampied, more lube, more poking, more creampies.....

Home time
I'm not really going on a proper holiday this year, going down to Devon to see my cousins for a long weekend but other than that I'm doing nowt. Have been thinking about going to Paris for a few days with a mate lately He's well up for it too. Just need to find some £££ for it
