My poor MB has been collecting dust since having Paddy. Now Paddy is getting older, we want to take him out with the bikes this summer so planning on getting it serviced in Spring. Think I've actually ridden my bmx more!

I believe he's racing 40+ cruiser, I think mainly at Coppul. I'll ask him on Facebook, he's one of my friends on there.

The date of the race was the 25th January so we would have been the same age
