I have taken (in a cilla voice) LOADSA PICTURES... but Haggler the silly sausage has forgot to bring his 'leady thing' that goes from the camera into the puter to down load them... and his little thing won't won't fit into my slot.... so you are all gonna have to wait for ACTION pictures.....

... we are trying... really trying hard.. but it is just to small to fit eyebrow

OK - before this gets to (rude) Haggler is going to try and get a card reader tomz so his camera card will fit into the comp slot tongue

Some great pics there. Glad you all had a great day apart from Filly obviously, hope shes okay, what happened exactly ?

by Fieryfilly Fri 30 May 2008, 09:06

Not sure what happened, think I had an oil leak that ignited, will know more when head mechanic Iggy gets the bike in bits!!
Sledge hammer in one hand lol, think the bike is beyond repair, due to high temperature damage, it was on fire for quite a few minutes. Can't afford to replace it this year, will have to see what Santa brings!!!!! I'm ok, VERY sore and stiff this morning, but in better shape than the bike, so I guess thats the main thing!!

by fleurdelyes Fri 30 May 2008, 09:16

It's good to hear that you are okay... The bikes only a piece of metal and plastic eh... It can be replaced. The only downer is I suppose that you haven't had it long. shithappens

I suppose. Onwards and upwards mate.

It's him upstairs telling you to get another blade you see ... lol

Looks like a great day for everyone, except Fieryfilly

. (I've gotta ask - did the name predate the fire?).

It's look ever less likely I'm gonna get on track this year - so I'm JEALOUS! Razz

Haggler.... Have you dropped the front end on yours ? That looks a whole lot lower at the front than mine does. Looking good though..

Your ok that is the best thing but your poor bike It not metal and plastic it's called money.
I guess an oil leak would of happened but i think the bike must of been on the floor before for that to happen.
Are Ex-track bikes a good Idea to buy! well i think it a risk we all take in buying second hand bike.
