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.

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  Rolling Eyes  I have had the bike since new and shelled out £1800 when I bought it... its now only really got sentimental value.



(same model/colours - but my actual bike)

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!!)

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  Sad

I'm a bit late cottoning onto this topic  Very Happy

That's pretty rat-*beep* you can't leave something in your garden!!!  Shocked 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  Rolling Eyes Not a problem.

One skilled youngster you've got there by the way!
