A BERG, A proper mans bike.

Do those things still use little buckets on the cam chain to transfer oil from the crankcase to the head? I got shouted at last time I dumped one on its side. And the guy whose is was, was shouting at the top of his voice "pick it up pick it up." I was just laughing and rolling around.

Nearly ended up with a re-build job on my hands. Probably improved a lot since I last played on one. Enjoy mate, Top bike...!

I drill holes in everything..!

Sprock: The helmet is too small unfortunately. If I could try it and it fitted I'd be interested though.

Have they ever had bucket of such system? Not in this millennium for sure. My present ones has spent quite a good time on its side *wink*

Wil: It seems as Rich from MSC will be away, so I'm counting on you to join me to Revolutions eyeballing women!

I think my original sizing was rather conservative. LOL, the helmet is indeed a Medium, however, i stated 52 - 54cm, which by all acounts is pea size, lol. I think its in the region of 57cm, thats what my hard hat says on the head band. I dont think the 52 would fit me either.

You are welcome to try it, if you are in the manchester/ liverpool area on friday evening, or saturday any time, im more than willing to meet up. The helmet never sold on ebay even at the low price of £25 for what is a £200 caarbon kevlar profesional helmet!!. Its yours for £25, if it fits.

Thanks

Sprox.

Hope your journey is a smooth one

No problem, leering I can do. I'm almost at a profesional level now. The secret is to make sure the wife dosen't catch you doing it. But as she is staying in babysitting that won't be a problem.

Now all I need is to find out where Revolution is and what you look like!!
