speaking of low gearing, I need to mess with the gearing on my 1000 YC... will pm you later asking for info it's geared too high at the mo, 1st and 2nd gear for town riding, etc... I really don't think I need a 160mph top speed to be honest, prolly end up in prison with bigger boys

me and you get on just fine YC, you just need to learn to use a little less lubricant. No need for that copper slip malarky, just use aqueous cream and get the job done

just need a bit of getting used to. Remember Matt needed a bit of time adjusting when he bought the Raptor

Why... a push bike has no engine, and you don't look cool eating bacon butties from ratburger vans...

Funny thing is, all of those pics were taken in decent weather. Im sure Richie should have some pictures (or possibly Amarko) of us coming down there in the pouring rain.

My God we got wet... but it was fun.
Amarko had to push a Triumph up part of Hardknot if I recall.

Looks nice for the view, cant imagine riding it is much fun, normally on those types of roads its degrading at the edges and in the middle with gravel everywhere.

There not that bad tbh, unless you have some nob that stalls in front of you making you stall trying not to drop the bike oh and don't forget your battery is flat and you have to push it up and round t bump it on the way down. But they are fun if the weathers decent. And living 5 miles away from them work nicely.
