Unless anyone fancies donating some money to the trials in essex fund(ME)???? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your telling me youve never rode a rock ? So if i plonked you a 1ft to 2ft high rock and about a foot wide you would be clueless ? Gee lad get doing some real trials Get your club to get some rocks from your local quarry...then you cant be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitjay - hrc Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Ive never ridden on rocks, a stream once, a car once and a flatbed lorry. thats it, otherwise its just mud. I would as if he still has the 05 mudguards, just so you can see what sort of condition they are in. Otherwise sounds good, if i hadnt bought my Scorpa, then id probably have been to look at it.

essex rider Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 I finally rode a little bit of rock today!!! Not very big about 2-3ft max but i did it, so much easier than logs As for the bike, he still hasnt got back to me and ive been offered an 05 if this blokes son doesnt start riding! If i get the one ive been offered im gonna get the wheels powder coated and exhaust anodized in black. (no pink) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ned1 Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 erm....if you get it i'll gladly swap my boring,dull gasgas wheels with yours, how about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essex rider Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 ned1 The wheels wont fit i dont think as the gas gas has a smaller disc with different mounts to mine. Why dont you get yours powder coated?? I dont think it costs that much if you strip the wheels yourself R2 i also love rocks now, brakes work on them and soooooooooo much grip, i was amazed. i also like concrete pipes As for the beta the price is getting a bit too high for me. I was hoping it would be lower but isnt (such a good bike) Looks like im going to have to get a different one Should i get the wheels anodized or powder coated???????

Because they look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
