I'm going to the Hawkstone International on the 2nd bud, wouldn't be fit enough for a 6hr anyway.


You should come on the 16th, could do with some decent pics and the course is meant to be really nice and fast. You can wear a skirt and hold a pit board for me if you like.

Yeah i'll also be at Hawky mate I'll probably take you up on the skirt thing too, i've got nowt on that weekend - i'll have to shave my legs though - I was thinking... if that track is nice and fast then your fecked from the start aren't you

I'll phone you closer to the date [hawkstone] well meet up then.

Just found this on the tube.

Worst MX crash ever!

[Richy]

There's another vid like that on the 'tube' somewhere, except the kid is doing a supercross and shoots across in the speccy stand - no one was hurt thank fook - but it's funny to watch. Worst crash i've witnessed is someone landing on a wooden stake after being taken out mid tabletop, it put me off riding 'staked tracks' for years, thankfully theres less tracks using them now and theres none used in enduro what so ever.. [which is nice!]

Last weekends Wirral offroad "mudfest" at a random boggy Welsh farm. Hell on earth? Pretty close!

Just to redress the balance a bit, here's my road bikes!

My old bike, Triumph TT600:


...and my 6'2" mate squashed on the back on the way to the bike show at the NEC this year!


And here's my new bike, an Aprilia RST1000 with a few tasty mod's (full straight through exhaust system, derestricted airbox with K&N, Power Commander unit, etc):



And one of me and the missus (and yes, she has a new jacket!!)

A wee bump as a chance to show off my latest toy - ideal first bike eh ?



Picked it up on Satruday and I'm absolutely loving it

Not sure if this is allowed, but it is for a good cause, and this thread is full of bikers, so I'll risk it!

Posting this for a mate of a MLOCer. If any kind souls do donate, please make sure you mention VX220.org.uk in the comments box.
