I like going out on my mtb. I'm not really fit enough but I do really enjoy it even if it's just a spin around my local park and I like to chuck the bikes in the Troop and go off somewhere different for a ride with the missus. Oooer. _________________ 1994 BIGHORN 3.1TD LOTUS

I have always been into Mountian Bikes since I was a kid (not too long ago!)
My current steed is a 98/99 Specialized FSR Extreme - its now got discs and a few other little mods, also its seen about 6 sets of wheels as they dont seem to last long I have had the bike since new and shelled out £1800 when I bought it... its now only really got sentimental value.

Its worth the hard work of climbing up the twisty paths just for the return journey back down... on the right tracks its possible to see 45mph+ (hence the disc brakes!!) _________________ Isuzu Rodeo Denver Max LE | 265/65R18 BF Goodrich AT LTM No.60

Robbing bar-stewards!
Over the years I have had four go walkies ... the first was from outside a fishing shop when I was about 12 - I then learnt my lesson but the rest were all from a secure garage _________________ Isuzu Rodeo Denver Max LE | 265/65R18 BF Goodrich AT LTM No.60

The area police car will be calling shortly, they want to look at the pics.
If its kids they could be out riding them.

I'm a bit late cottoning onto this topic
That's pretty rat-*beep* you can't leave something in your garden!!! Bloody son of a preacherman aye! Had my wheels nicked when I was 8 or 9. Wasn't worth pinching if you asked me. They managed to pick my pad-lock!
Move to NZ mate - a certain person around here has been known to leave his keys in the front door all friggin day Not a problem.
One skilled youngster you've got there by the way! _________________ 1996 Mazda B2500 |
