PM me and let me know where abouts your located!As for making it to the gong... ha ha NO CHANCE... mate iv'e put on about 15kg's on FAT and lost so much mussel! Would be keen to give the gray beast a bit of a run again, its just sitting in the lounge room now as I bought a trainer a few months ago, however only used it once... You bike sounds like a Recreation type setup... Great option for an round option... Try to take my thing off the road and well... I'm stuffed, take urs and ull keep going and going and going... then come out the other side and still have happy days, while im back in the shop looking at mine in pieces! Oh yeah and prob no 'play' for me for a little while... if you know what I mean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smicky we usually meet up at canterbury ice ring .Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
