i only passed my test in september but im used to bike because i used to have a gasgas 300 txt pro 2003 before selling it to do my road licence ,i thought id be a bit safer on the roads than on the mountains because 18 month ago my bro broke his leg up in the mountains in betws y coed playing on the rocks there with the bikes ,but he was air lifted to hospital no phone signal and no roads for the ambulance ,but three and a half weeks ago went for a quick burn with my mate who done his test the same time as me ,went over the snowdon pass and it started to get dark and on the way home ploding along i lost the front of the bike and down on my side i went ,had to get my mate to come and pick the bike up with the van ,so now im just looking for bits and bobs for ,ive bought a few bits off adam castell who was very helpfull ,and thanks to all who has helped as well !!!

Re: im a neeeeew beeee
So would it of been you that I've seen on the yellow curvy on the Brittania bridge sometimes? Also spotted at the petrol station in Llanfairpwll? Though I haven't seen that bike around in a while. Mine's a blue K6 pointy with bikini fairing.
I've been meaning to catch up with that curvy owner to mention this site to them. |

Re: im a neeeeew beeee
If you have enough lever left, rather than bolt it try one of these
Fixer-Peg (clicky) Made by DavieSV on here and damn useful bit of kit! We all seem to carry the Fixer-Peg on rideouts. |
