hmm....

Part of me likes the idea, while another part of me just thinks it'll just reinforce the BMW jokes, which are kinda old now

[iron epoch]

now that the "it's a bmw 🤢" people are gone

i can finally say i love the way the mk5 looks

[twin belfry]

The MK5 is a bit of a guilty pleasure to me

[iron epoch]

why?

[twin belfry]

Idk, there are some instances where I genuinely appreciate it, even though part of me thinks it's meh

[iron epoch]

aah i see

i understand that

[twin belfry]

The only MK5’s I enjoy to the max are Jackie Ding’s MK5 and Ryan Tuerck’s Formula Supra

Oh, and also the GT500 and GT300 MK5’s, too

[plain carbon]

Damn only 200

The formula supra was crazy

[plain carbon]

Don't say this in a YouTube comment section

[flat gyro]

Seriously bro

It's so annoying

[plain carbon]

"it's a BMW!!!"
Hate these guys fr

99% of people shitting on the car have never seen one or even driven one before

[twin belfry]

I even found a few comments on a video where the GT500 Supra was being tested in 2020

Like ffs, "OH IT'S A BMW" well, ok. A silhouette race car that has the engine from a Super Formula car and has ZERO similarities to the road going model, apart from the looks and also BMW

[flat gyro]

If I see one more person call the supra a BMW I swear to God

[twin belfry]

"AND HOW IS THIS A SUPRA??? It's a GTR, NSX and BMW battle. There's no Toyota here."

-A comment from the video I just mentioned

[fossil gulch]

Hot take: The current generation supra is the only one that's looked decent

[flat gyro]

I liked the mk3

[twin belfry]

Same here

[fossil gulch]

I've never seen anything older than a mk4 in person tbh

Rust ate them all a long time ago

[twin belfry]

It's the chunkiest of them all

@cyan wind

old bikes looks beaut

I thinj I’ll consider these FZ6’s

[cyan wind]

that's fuckin beautiful goddamn

[tulip bramble]

yessir, greatly considering it

but I’ve heard great stuff about the Z1000 too 👀

real tempted to get one if ever

but yeah 143hp and 111nm of torque

I’d die

or will I??

[cyan wind]

Z1000 is a sex machine icl

[tulip bramble]

indeed

I want it

I think I’ll consider it once I’ve tried a bike

the seat height is good enough for my height

my legs can prolly handle the weight

its the bikes power thats scary

very intimidating

👀

[fathom rose]

Just drove a new Si, makes me wanna get one even more 😩

[cyan wind]

that thing is a monster

[tulip bramble]

indeed

might start on an MT-07

few of the biker lads I’ve talked to told me to start on the R7

but too expenso for me to start on

so mt it is

[cyan wind]

i wouldn't recommend

300-400 sounds more fair than 700

but hey if it works go for it

[tulip bramble]

will do

still looking at other options

and most of the options are within the 600cc range

[cyan wind]

yeah i know for me practising on a 125 was fair because i kept stalling or pulling the throttle way too much and if i did that on a 700 it probably would've been quite more dangerous

[tulip bramble]

might go for the duke 390 or the MT-03 if I do start somewhere in the 400 range

[tulip bramble]

yeah learning on a higher cc bike isnt the best idea

if I do get an experience on a low cc bike and I dont get any problems, I’ll consider the mt07

if I get problems, then 400 it is

[cyan wind]

good idea

[tulip bramble]

yepp

on the other hand, MT-03’s are around 3k usd in the used market here

fairly cheap

actually make that 4k

thought R3 and mt03’s were the same price

[pseudo gull]

dont start on a 600

the mt-07/r7, or a 650 is fine but not a 600

[tulip bramble]

is it because most 600’s are i4’s?

[pseudo gull]

id recommend something in the 300-400 range though, best of which is probably the husqvarna svartpilen 401

[pseudo gull]

basically

higher-revving and more powerful

youll learn more on a more torque-focused bike, as opposed to a screamer like most 600s

[tulip bramble]

gotchu

[pseudo gull]

https://www.husqvarna-motorcycles.com/en-gb/models/naked/svartpilen/svartpilen-401-2023.html

these are brilliant for first bikes you can keep for longer

unless youre looking for a sports bike

[tulip bramble]

was planning to start on an i4 600 so I wont have to upgrade for a longer period

[pseudo gull]

bad idea

[tulip bramble]

how bout 650 i4?

[pseudo gull]

ditch the i4 idea

650s are great, most arent i4s anyway

[tulip bramble]

Aight aight

[pseudo gull]

most are p-twins

[tulip bramble]

yepp

Guess I’ll do Yamaha

mt07 or r7

[pseudo gull]

theyre both brilliant, ive heard nothing but good things

[tulip bramble]

Same

biker lad I’ve talked to in another discord server recommended the R7

but price is too steep to start on

so maybe a used MT-07

[pseudo gull]

if youre looking for more info on the r7 this guy's made a ton of videos about it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZK1pewliDQ

[tulip bramble]

love that guy

[pseudo gull]

he's great

[tulip bramble]

he has a few ones about the mt07 iirc

[pseudo gull]

hes also done a full comparison between mt-07 and r7

[tulip bramble]

he’s an MT fan too If I’m right

[pseudo gull]

yeah

[tulip bramble]

I was planning to start on either R3 or Mt03

which I’ll still consider

If I get an experience with a bike and dont get any problems

I’ll start on a 700, If I struggle with it, then 400’s it is

[pseudo gull]

if you dont have any riding experience, i would lean towards 400 as opposed to 700

but tbh its worth trying out both

[tulip bramble]

I dont have friends who ride bikes

[pseudo gull]

and just seeing whether you feel comfortable on the faster bike

[tulip bramble]

so cant really try one out

[pseudo gull]

yeah that does make it a bit tricky

tbh if you can get your hands on a 400 i think youll find it plenty quick enough

even a "slow" bike feels fast

[tulip bramble]

True that

was back riding on a 125cc scooter a few months ago, a sudden yank on the throttle pulled me back

on top of that, we were only going 20kmh

[pseudo gull]

speed feels faster when you have no roof or doors

[tulip bramble]

Yepp

but before I get my hands on a bike I’ll prolly get a car first

I’ll prolly meet biker friends along the way

so I may get the chance to try out bikes and see how it feels

[pseudo gull]

if you want to get a bit of experience you could do the msf course

youll be using a rebel 250 or something, but they teach you how to ride

[tulip bramble]

guess I’ll try that out once I’m looking on buying a motorcycle

at least if I do start on a 700, I’ll know the basics to riding

so thing left to do is not die

[oak cipher]

Well this is something....

I know it comes across like Smug Wojack mask but like... This thing might be recognised more if Cosworth powered cars right now weren't able to... Y'know exist

Like how the Valkyrie managed to beat it by a year

Despite being concieved at the same time, the AMG with the running gear first

[balmy arrow]

not a motorbike but time to hit the trails

did some minor adjustments since halford technicians are just not proficient at their job

[fossil gulch]

It’s kinda fun to feel simped for while knowing full well you aren’t gonna drop any cash lmao

[cyan wind]

i wish i could tell you how horrific they are

they're salesman, not mechanics

[cyan wind]

oh yeah and i know the dealership i'm going to are good with customers lmao so hopefully i'll get some good inside knowledge for the bikes i'm looking at

between being these two

[fossil gulch]

What sorta MT is that

[cyan wind]

MT-125

i could wait two more years and get a 300 but fuck that

[fossil gulch]

Oh, it looks so cursed

Like you shrunk everything down

But I guess that’s exactly what It is

[cyan wind]

yeah i'm probably leaning towards the honda more but i need to go sit on one and see what i think

[fossil gulch]

Yeah, you really need to sit on them to get a feel

[cyan wind]

they're honestly so close it will come down to just what i'm comfortable on, i'll get the specs rq

[fossil gulch]

I really liked the R3 but the minute I sat on it, it was nope

That bike’s seat is just a plank of wood

[cyan wind]

left is the MT, right is the honda

[cyan wind]

yeah it's quite surprising how uncomfortable they can be, considering it's a sportier bike

[cyan wind]

i can look at stats all day but i think after this long of looking, it's just gonna come down to seeing it in the flesh

[fossil gulch]

Yeah just go sit on them, stats wont matter if the bike makes you too miserable to ride

[cyan wind]

exactly, i just hope it's not like the kawasaki and make my arms hurt like shit

i probably will encounter some aches, but being 6'2 on a bike as small as those, i will just have to deal with it

[cyan wind]

i'll let you know what happens tmrw

[balmy arrow]

the amount of air they allowed in my brakes is absurd

think they forgot they’re hydraulic

[cyan wind]

think they forgot they're mechanics

Can’t go wrong with a Honda, you can also get aftermarket rear sets that let you adjust your foot position

[cyan wind]

Definitely, they had the yamaha i was also looking at felt alot more tight and just was a bit meh, but the Honda felt almost perfect and it honestly didn't feel like I'd struggle on longer trips, I was expecting it'd be like the Kawasaki and feel really small / compact, but surprisingly it didn't

I'll defo invest in foot pegs and all that comfortablility stuff when I get one

KTM do a decent sportier bike

new dukes are sexy too

[proud temple]

ive seen one irl at a dealership and they stay beutiful

[proud temple]

the rc is amazing tbh

[cyan wind]

i'm not a fan of the older dukes but the new ones are beautiful

[proud temple]

i feel the same tbh the new ones take alot more inspiration from the 1290 sperduke r's styling which i like

[cyan wind]

that 1290 is fucking HOT

@proud temple decided on the honda cb125r for my first bike, gonna see what money i can salvage and put towards it

[proud temple]

not bad they do look nice but dont push it too hard

my one mate with a cbr125r the full fairing version has blown 3 engines so far

[cyan wind]

fuckin hell how's he managed that

[cyan wind]

yeah i don't plan to, just gonna take good care of it and get around

[proud temple]

yeah, tbf im not a big honda fan but they are usually good

im more of a ktm kawasaki guy

[cyan wind]

i feel you, i liked the duke 125 but i heard reliability issues and it was more expensive to maintain than the honda, kawasaki's are definitely one of my fav but the naked was way too small for me, then i doubt the sport bike is gonna be comfortable lol

it came down to comfortability for me, i gave the yamaha mt a try and didnt find it comfortable, then i sat on the honda and thought it felt great

[proud temple]

yeah but any 125 is bound to be unreliable since they get pushed to the limit

[cyan wind]

definitely

[proud temple]

thats great as long as your comfy

[cyan wind]

definitely, honestly after sitting on the kawasaki i was quick to assume everything was gonna feel tiny and cramped

but, the honda did me good

[proud temple]

im guessing your tall?

[cyan wind]

6'2

[proud temple]

damn

well have a feel on the rc 390

its a tall bike

little more unvomfortable but its extremely fun

[cyan wind]

i probably will when i get to having an A2 license, i had a sit on a bmw 300 and that felt perfect

let me find the model

[proud temple]

g300gs?

[cyan wind]

g310gr i think it was

[proud temple]

oh the naked one

[cyan wind]

yeah

felt really nice

[proud temple]

yeah theres the naked= gr and the adventure=gs

[cyan wind]

not sure how it'd be long term obvs, but the honda reminded me of the beamer

[proud temple]

ahhh

yeah bmws are nice but the 300s are kept on the down low

[cyan wind]

yeah they're never talked about

[proud temple]

bmw's big focus are thier S/M 1000RR/R and thier high cc gs lines

[cyan wind]

yeah their s1000 is amazing

[proud temple]

exactly

[cyan wind]

not sure how the 300 performs but i know it was 100x more comfortable than the kawasaki i was on lmao

[proud temple]

understand why the 300s are unheard of

kawasakis main focus is thier ninja and h2 lines

they dont do much for thier z lines

[cyan wind]

yeah when you hear kawasaki or bmw you don't think 125 or 300

[proud temple]

exactly

[cyan wind]

the z series is great though

the 1000 looks great

[proud temple]

you think ninja 400,650 zx6r zx10r zx14r h2r

thats kawasakis main sellers

and the z1000 ofc

[cyan wind]

the Z is definitely forgotten about

[proud temple]

my dad has the z1000sx sport tourer and gaddamn its good

[proud temple]

ofc

[cyan wind]

but at the same time

the ninja is so dominant in the mind of kawasaki

[proud temple]

when you hear suzuki you dont think boulevard cruiser you think gsxr 1000 and gsxr 600

[cyan wind]

exactly

[proud temple]

sometimes brands have hidden gems depends on how much research you do

[cyan wind]

oh yeah

[proud temple]

kawasaki has a 4 cylinder 250 yk

[cyan wind]

what i found with yamaha is the R series definitely dominates but the MT series is definitely not forgotten about

[proud temple]

only sold in asian countries sadly

[cyan wind]

oh wow

i'd never expect that lmfao

[proud temple]

yeah the zx25r

honda has a 400cc 4 cyl from 1987

the cbr400rr nc 29

[cyan wind]

also that honda that revs to like 18k rpm

[proud temple]

yeah

the 250 kawa goes to smth like 20k

[cyan wind]

crazy for a 250 lmao

[proud temple]

Yeah

Even the older bikes that are forgotten are sometimes amaxing stuff

Theres my 390 and my dads z1000sx

[cyan wind]

what do you think of the RC?

[proud temple]

The 390s seat is 10mm higher than the z1000sx

[proud temple]

Its def not for long rides, but for short 100-200km trips its fun, easy to handle, can be fun to mess around with at mid rev range

Very capable for a track setting

There are actually design features made fo the track

[cyan wind]

yeah i can imagine being sporty it's not comfortable long term#

[proud temple]

The mirrors fold in for track use, it has an optional quickshifter cornering tcs and abs

Ktm has an official powerparts catagory to get mods for the bike

[cyan wind]

quickshifters are sex

[proud temple]

If you shift alot

[cyan wind]

there's one dude with an mt07 i watch who has one and it's so damn smooth

[proud temple]

I ride alot on the highway so the quickshifter wont be very helpful

[cyan wind]

for syre

what's the wind like on it or are you quite proteced

[proud temple]

Well when sitting up not so much

But for daily riding on the streets its not that bad

Anything above 80-100km/h the wind noise gets you

But your head wont be thrown around even at like 140km/h

[cyan wind]

ah that's good

doesn't wind noise also come down to the helmet you wear?

[proud temple]

Yeah

I use a helmet that doesnt have the best wind noise reduction

[cyan wind]

what helmet is it?

[proud temple]

Shark

Mecca ridill smth

[cyan wind]

ah fair enough

i rock a caberg but i'll probs get something different when i start riding

[proud temple]

Yeah

[cyan wind]

the wind noise is pretty bad but i imagine it being modular doesn't help

[proud temple]

The rc aint the best top end but getting to its top end is quick

[proud temple]

Yeah usually mudular is used by people riding bikes that deflect alot of the wind

Stuff like adventure or cruisers

[cyan wind]

yeah i was told a bit of a shock story from my dad about non modular helmets, so it put me to buying a modular but i might give a non modular helmet a go too

[proud temple]

Yeah, i feel mudular is more unsafe than full face

Since if you hit chin first it could break the hinges opening the helmet

[fossil gulch]

They’re making a ZX4 this year

[proud temple]

Not confirmed yet

But the talks are floating around

[cyan wind]

yeah, the story was a mate of his felt insanely claustrophobic in his helmet but obviously couldn't take it off until they got to hospital, and it put me off getting non modular

[cyan wind]

definitely

[fossil gulch]

I just want a verseys 400

[proud temple]

Which is fair, if you fall hard your head would swell up and untill your at the hospital and they can confirm its safe to take off youll keep it on

[fossil gulch]

Modular helmets are just too damn heavy

[proud temple]

I wanted one too but im too short

[cyan wind]

i don't think they're too bad, but that's probably me being biased cus i'm yet to wear a non modular

[fossil gulch]

They don’t have one, it’s a 300, 650 or 1000

I want a verseys with the engine of the ninja 400

[cyan wind]

exactly, but i should prob dip my toes in and see what it's like

[fossil gulch]

Keep the visor up when you put it on

It’s not any worse then an MX helmet that way

[proud temple]

Never a bad thing

[cyan wind]

got you

[cyan wind]

yeah i want to explore my options, my instructor said about ruroc but i've heard mixed things

[fossil gulch]

They all fit a bit different

My fat head can’t comfortably fit in L2S helmets

[proud temple]

I wouldnt trust ruroc

[proud temple]

I just meant a versys overall

[cyan wind]

yeah, some hate it, some love it

[proud temple]

Unfortunately rurocs have been notorious for being unsafe

[cyan wind]

yeah i had heard they weren't snell approved i want to say it was, might just be a helmet that has good marketing

[proud temple]

Yeah

They did have alot of marketing especially from big youtubers

Thats why they became famous

But then came the aftermath of crashes

Some helemts were shettered on impact which wasnt a good thing

[cyan wind]

yeah i think they passed the bare minimum but all other custom ratings said they were shit, then our sharp ratings in the uk are yet to test them

[proud temple]

Y3ah

[cyan wind]

but honestly idk what helmets are considered good and safe that are full face, i put all my research into one basket with modulars

[fossil gulch]

If you want Ruroc styling but without the death, Icon exists

[proud temple]

Usually stick known brands like shark,agv,ls2,kyt and mostly just brands used in sports like motogp or sbk as they are usually the best safety wise

[cyan wind]

yeah i'm gonna stick some researching soon, i had an idea of the type of clothing i wanted but i never thought about any other helmets lol

i'll take a note to those helmetsd

[proud temple]

What colour is the better question

[cyan wind]

true lmao

[proud temple]

And for brands the best of the best is usually alpine stars and dianese

[cyan wind]

yeah i had some alpinestar shoes and a jacket

but it was just a hoodie with kevlar, which defo won't be enough so i'm gonna do more research

[proud temple]

Ahhh

Nickyboystoys i think is what its called have good casual protective wear

[cyan wind]

bet

https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/alpinestars-cr-x-motorcycle-riding-shoes-2011168/ i was looking at these but i think higher cut boots will be worth it more

[proud temple]

Usually armoured jeans and shirts

[proud temple]

If you plan on using them alot and want more comfortable boots go with the short ones

Its usually only when you plan on doing intense rides and track rides that youd want full boots

I just wear leather steel toe safety boots and they get the job done

[cyan wind]

yeah it's just if you fall on your shins or they take some kind of damage you'll want some kind of dampener like persay with higher boots

but yeah i imagine they're probably less comfortable

[proud temple]

Thats where your pants you wear comes in

Some pants have shin guards in em and the chance of hitting your shins are so low its not a big threat

If you go ragdolling of your bike youll most likely tuck in which means your knees or arms hit the ground first

I know this since its happened to me

[cyan wind]

[fossil gulch]

Boots are actually statically the most useful piece of gear

Jackets being the least useful

[cyan wind]

yeah i'll have to look into new stuff, i think my trousers are a bit too big and my jacket is getting too small for me

[proud temple]

My jacket saved me from some road rash

[fossil gulch]

Because most accidents are low speed drops where your fat-ass bike goes crunch on your ankle/lower leg

[proud temple]

Yeah but if your tire slips or you hit a hole and get flinged you might need your jacket

[cyan wind]

really they're all useful in their own scenario

[proud temple]

Exactly

[fossil gulch]

Yeah but stats say more leg injuries are common. But pretty much every rider I know doesn’t own motorcycle specific boots

Combat/construction boots are what everyone seems to use lmao

[proud temple]

Screw it just get full leathers youll never need other stuff

[fossil gulch]

Just ride a trike lmao

[plain carbon]

💀

[cyan wind]

yeah i use them usually

just annoying to walk around with because they're chonky

[plain carbon]

Which brings me to think
What happens when a guy in India drives over a massive pothole in the road

Do they go flying

[proud temple]

Yep i do too

[plain carbon]

Or do they just carry on with their lives

[proud temple]

Ive seen it happen before

[proud temple]

I enjoy em more than normal shoes tbh

[cyan wind]

i walk quite a bit most of the time so having heavy shoes can be a bit of a pain

[plain carbon]

Dang

[cyan wind]

but wearing trainers isn't fun at all on a bike

[proud temple]

Mine were heavy in the beginning but i used them as school shoes and just became normal to wear ig

[plain carbon]

Wearing steel toe crocs

[proud temple]

I could modify mine

[plain carbon]

💀 that would be terrifying

[cyan wind]

for sure, idk we'll find out when i get some proper shoes lol

[proud temple]

Could be fun

[proud temple]

[cyan wind]

first on the list of helmets to look at, rated with the new ECE rating so should be decent

[proud temple]

Arai is pretty good

[cyan wind]

yeah i've heard good stuff from arai

[fathom rose]

@cyan wind

youre welcome

[cyan wind]

[fathom rose]

Im broke, so I got a Conquer Snell Helmet, and my favorite thing about it is how easy it is to breathe in it at speeds

it has tiny vents throughout the helmet so the cool air flow is nice

[cyan wind]

for sure I think most of it is gonna come down to trying them on myself

[proud temple]

It will, find whats comfortable but safe

For an Si, engine bay pics are quite important

You never what mods they got on it

Ngl, while 187k is alot for a car alone. For a Honda, if you maintain it well, it can last you another good 60k-70k miles. The most worrying thing would be the transmission and clutch

Indy Lights?

[twin belfry]

There's that side intake, which means it could possibly be a Dallara F312

[balmy arrow]

correct

2016 season

George’s old car

So technically speaking i’ve set up my favourite drivers car 😁

Though it was only suspension setup and minor floor issues

[sick pike]

People posting their gr corollas on social media makes me want one even more

[tulip bramble]

seeing interesting bikes everyday makes me want one even more

[fathom rose]

Seeing a new Integra or new Civic, makes me wanna get a new Si even more

[balmy arrow]

real

can’t wait till i move out and can finally get one

the mother does all that danger bollocks and forgets the fact i’m doing trails on my mtb which are also dangerous ☠️

[cyan wind]

my mum is fine with me going on a bike, but she wants me to have experience on roads before i buy one

[balmy arrow]

can’t get my provisional till she gets it in her head i’m getting a bike 😞

[cyan wind]

you in england?

[cyan wind]

which is fine and well, but long term the amount of money going into lessons could go into a bike too

[balmy arrow]

Northern ireland which is even worse

since we have our 45mph speed limit when you’re on R plates in a car

[cyan wind]

does that apply for bikes too?

[balmy arrow]

Don’t think so

Could be, not sure

Wouldn’t be the biggest issue with a 125 though 🤣

[cyan wind]

good, idk what it's for NI but i'm pretty sure you can apply for a provisional license yourself

[cyan wind]

god it's painful 😭

[balmy arrow]

in an ideal world i could legit be on the road a week after 17

dad can get me a 125 and give me a barebone understanding of the CBT then im sound

So it’s gonna be a painful 2 weeks ahead

[cyan wind]

i seriously recommend more lessons after a CBT

like, ALOT

it'll be some money for more lessons, but it's better safe than put yourself in a bad situation

[balmy arrow]

No doubt

Dads not the best influence anyway

he got clocked doing 201 ☠️

[cyan wind]

fucking hell

[balmy arrow]

So my target is 202 within my lifetime

[cyan wind]

good way to lose ur license lmfao

[balmy arrow]

i’m surprised he stopped

not one single cop catching a ninja

[cyan wind]

probs because if they had your plates they'll take a visit to your door with some cuffs lol

[balmy arrow]

Don’t think 202 would be a good resume for motorsport engineering either

[cyan wind]

proves you can control your bike kek

[balmy arrow]

Our college teacher actually did ask us for that for some reason

obviously only those who can drive or have their unrestricted license

[cyan wind]

yeah

having a 125 is gonna suck

but i'll have my hands on a 600 soon enough

[balmy arrow]

Funny enough he praised one of my classmates for his focus somehow doing a decent speed

he’s an odd fella.

But knows his shit, ex f3 and wrc

[cyan wind]

oh wow

fair play

[balmy arrow]

He had a talk with plus yesterday praising us

took him 4 years to setup a f3

took us 4 months

[cyan wind]

bloody hell

[balmy arrow]

It’s a blessing honestly

[cyan wind]

i'd love to work for a formula series but i'm dogshit with mechanics so i'll stick to photographing them

[balmy arrow]

Being a 16 year old setting up his favourite drivers old f3 is a core memory

grateful for the course

[balmy arrow]

I’m aiming for endurance despite my love for f1

F1 is too sophisticated to actually warrant a proper mechanic per say, since there are so many components

hence there’s people designing only radiators etc

[cyan wind]

for sure

i've always loved photographing and i tried mechanics in easier departments, but it wasnt for me

fuckin love photographing downhill MTB races

[balmy arrow]

As long as i get in the industry before it’s all electric il be happy

[cyan wind]

literally

[balmy arrow]

you’d catch me in a tree

[cyan wind]

someone went straight into a tree in one of their race runs, dude got straight back up and went on

[balmy arrow]

Ideally the hypercars, their transition from electric to the engine is absurd

[cyan wind]

legend

[balmy arrow]

that’s what happened to me

though i’ve got a fucked back since then

2 years on ffs

[cyan wind]

wait hold the fuck

did you go to irish national champs?

[balmy arrow]

unfortunately not

i only do like trails with my mates

[cyan wind]

i was gonna say the coincidence of that if that was you lmao

[balmy arrow]

no chance i’d have the money for a bike capable of that lmao

mines only £700 but does the job until the derailer gives up 🤣

[cyan wind]

i went irish nationals and it was great, my old man mechaniced for chris cummings and ronan dunne if you know those names

[cyan wind]

yeah my old one is fucked, i need to service it and get it sold lol

[balmy arrow]

Not familiar with anyone within it, more just a hobby
