You must be one of only a few who can say that their work and girlfriend actually help them to ride!  |
Never thought of it that way before but im sure i could ride more without her plus it would be alot more peaceful after ive bought something bike related. |
lol, too true!

Hi all, thought i'd drop in and say hi.
I'm VERY new to MTBing again after a 10 year absence (Damn cars), back in the day I had an MTrax Titanium (Paperround money! - so many paperrounds) now I have a temp Carerra that I got on a whim and went out with my bro in law.
Fallen back in love with it again, and get a better rush than taking the ZX9-R out too - so thats going to make way for a VW Transporter (Need a van anyway) and nearer christmas i'm going to treat myself to another bike, but for now mine suits me fine for my novice ways - so if anyone is in the Worthing area and fancys a ride, just drop me a line...
Be gentle with me please, haha... (Anyone going to Brighton BigDog at the weekend?).
Sorry about the long post. |

Hi Chris Welcome!!
Nothing wrong with Carerra's, good bikes for the money!
Selling the ZX9-R  Its amazing the sacrifices we make....... Selling my R26 this month, to make way for a more bike friendly vehicle. However I am looking to invest in a motorbike too!
Check out www.pistonheads.com Lots a very nice Transporters. |

I know, but somehow the thrill of a good downhill outways the thrill of being knocked off almost by a pigeon lol!
I'm signed up to Pistonheads and use it quite a lot, but yeah I agree, there are a few good Transporters on there, may also look at transits too...
R26? Skyline? |

Excellent!
No Its the R26, not the R26R. Same car just with mod cons instead of roll cages, fire extiguishers, sticky tyres and plastic windows. |

Hi guys,
My name's Martin.
I'm relatively new to biking, though completely new to cycling in the south.
In a nutshell I know of only a couple of places to ride, and have only my bro to cycle with, so I am keen to get into the local cycling community.
As an overview.... I'm living in Brighton, aged 26, a design engineer with an interest in death metal. I have recently bought a Commencal Super 4.3, though I am yet to christen it.
Anyway, any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Here's my bike by the way; I've not had chance to photograph it yet so this is simply the brochure shot....
