Re: New Member Joined With A Question In Mind

Haha, April fools or not, I've done it! Fairly sure that's a long board in the pic which would be very unwieldy. Mine was a shorty that tbh took more skill to use than I possessed but that didn't stop me trying. I only lived 15 mins from the beach. Riding past, (on a twin shock DT 175) saw the surf ...

Re: The Royal Enfield Himalayan ,great value.

After reading various reviews and watching various YouTube channels (Nathan) I had convinced myself that the Himalayan was the bike I was looking for. Unlike many, I am really taken with it’s looks and couldn’t wait to get my hands on one, so I booked a test ride. Up close I liked it even more. On t...

Which Compressor?

Hi folks

No insult intended but it could just be the shape of your head. "What are you trying to say?" https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTFbIu-usIeRCaQn9h5WnVR4nNuTmmZyesGnNxwPp8LZ_g4mnf4gQ "I can't find a helmet to fit since I used the Russian method" said Dave
