  1. Well people, today i bought a new frame... Here she is Sorry for the brightness of the photos... Got it brand new for £399 from my lbs, they got too many is stock lol Comments?
  2. no. but, put it this way... Iv been driving since i was 11... used to race grass tracking... i know clutch control like the back of my hand... so dont need to learn that. Hill starts - piss Reversing properly - piss mirrors - need to learn to use alot more... need to stop crossing my hands when turning aswell... And iv already been on the road for a year on a scooter, so know harard preception ect... My uncle is also a driving instructor (not going through him cause hes expensive...) and hes said i should be able to pass in no time what so ever... Also, my mate passed after 5 lessons, and had never driven a car before in his life lol So, what you think?
  3. Il be starting to learn on monday (7 lessons booked next week ) and il be driving my car around on my provisional... so i want to look good in it even if it has massive L plates on Basically, i want my alloys sorted by the time i pass my test... Iv stripped them (kinda) with notromors... but all the paint hasnt came off some f**king hard coat they have put on them like! worst things to strip ever lol! Il be getting them painted after next week hopefully, as i dont have the money for them atm...
  4. I wont be, but i was at the nps at Ae forest the other week, f**king AWESOME weekend! loved it! mental 30foot drop at the end of the DH course though, and they were just launching off the top and landing at the bottom!
  5. tis a chubby bike, il admit that! but it doesnt weigh much
  6. woooo! i see myself in the vid Awesome riding cao! loved it! Could have had a better song though...
  7. I think a downhill ride should be organised up north like, scottish border styliee... We have 7 stanes fort william ect.. all awesome DH courses!
  8. Right decided im stripping the alloys tommorow, then spraying them gunmetal grey when ever i get the tyres off... should be at the weekend... Should look tidy on a black punto, put the alloys on tonight to see what they would look like... looks mean love it
  9. Nah, i dont like driving like a cock... seen too many crashes of my friends, to ever attempt it... scares the shit outa me...
  10. Mate said he would do them... £10 a wheel primer, paint and laquer included... he sprays car parts for a living
  11. why would it be common sense? all its doint is repeating what someone else has said... without having to retype it out...
  12. Love hat orange bike! sex! lol Its my first DH bike guys, i aint arsed if its an amazing spec or anything, as long as im on the hills making air, i aint fussed! Went to AE today, was awesome! i actually managed to do the 20 foot coffin step down on it! was well pleased! the rear sus isnt bottoming out any more, as iv had it nearly on the hardest setting, but it still feels nice! the forks need new seals though, they fooked, so they bottom out all the time cause all the oil has leaked lol Ah well!
  13. Cheers for the info bud! Why would i have to buy new wheel bolts? would the ones i have on my stealies now be ok? Getting some nitromors through the week, and gonna strip em down as much as i can... then probs get my mate to spray them as he is a pro srpay painterererer.... lol
  14. Swapped my adamant A3 for it, i love it, apart from the stupid back sus that always bottoms out so the seat tube rubs on the tyre :@ gayyy lol Comments? Oh yeah, almost forgot... soon to be sprayed white... if i dont buy a new frame before hand!
  15. ahh awesome, cheers for that dude! Il follow his guide, cause hes done an ace job on the wheels! cheers bud
  16. lol lol lol Bats cars closed down like 3 years ago... even if they were still open... id rather chuck a rock through my windscreen than let them loose with it lmao!
  17. already got insurance sorted? Costing me £1300... lol Im taking them to a car modifieing garage sometime through the week, gonna see what they say about them...
  18. Hi there people, well, i turn 17 in a week and i have a set of 15" alloys to go on my punto... My problem is... I picked the alloys up for £50 with new tires, so thought they would be a bargain for my first car! The problem is, the paint is coming off them? (god knows lol) they are "bubbling" behind the paint... What i need to know is, what paint stripper whould i use to get the paint off? its just normal paint i think, feels like it so would nitromors be safe to use? what colour tin do you think i will need? I have pics on my camera... but its just this minute went flat, so will post them once i have charged it...
  19. if i still rode, i would have been there... but i ride dh instead
  20. Carlisle as whole isnt THAT bad really well, i dont think it is Some parts are, but compaired to manchester ect, its nothing... lol i know a hell of alot of people, and alot of them are rough, but none of us lot up here carry knifes... if we are going to fight, we use our hands, thats it... my arse where i live is really quiet.... You can walk around by yourself at night, and not get a single bother!
