I take it all back...
« on: April 08, 2012, 05:01 PM »
...well most of it... I still hate big black motorbike tyres and rusty frames...but...

I LOVE MY SUPERCROSS.  :smitten:

Rode it in anger at the Boardroom last night... I just seemed to go twice as fast on it... its half as light and it span easier... went higher ... just better at everything.

It made my Haro just feel.... well... old!

I had to have a go at Jol for not making me buy a new school frame earlier!

I'd started to lose interest riding my Haro... didn't feel like I was progressing... but now it feels like I can move forward again... just need to update a few parts as we go  :daumenhoch:

So I'd like to tell Alex, 2BRob, Betty, Lenny and anyone else I argued against for keeping my mid school ride... you were right! I just had to get there in my own time and on a bike that I love riding... love ya fellas  :smitten:

About fooking time!  ::). Did you push the bars forward so it makes the steering all crappy like an old school bike?  ;)

Matt did last week, fook me I tried his nice looking subrosa out and the bars were so far forward it was like a burner!

It was a revelation... I had FUN... it was just FUN to ride.

There's no way I would have made the move without the Supercross as it maintains the 'style' I kept banging on about... but the way that the bit taller than Spen ends pop up and balance so good is a dream  :angel: just got to get my parts list a bit more new school now  :laugh:

Never that... unless its got a Bashguard on like the Bully style ones that Subrosa nearly did  :laugh:

Anyway leave me alone now as I'm designing myself a new decal set in the style of a 91 Master but with Supercross on instead... that should get me some abuse  :smitten:

It made my Haro just feel.... well... old!


Hey, glad to hear you had so much fun on your new bike.

Im all for people owning whatever bike they like, for whatever reason, but if you want really ride a bike it HAS to be a new one (how ever you chose to build it up).
But fairs fair, those Haros were junk at the time. Im sure the only reason anyone (who wasnt on the Haro team) rode them was cos Hoffman used one .... and even he made it clear how crap they were

Welcome to the club, Ed!  :daumenhoch:

Chuffed to bits for you, and your build still has an OS aesthetic vibe running through it, so all is good  :smitten:

Might join you next Saturday (not diving, and the missus is on nights)  :daumenhoch:
