I pop down on a Friday night every now and then. I'll keep me open for ya.

Would you be up for showing me the ropes one day as I have never been yet..?

Not rode it myself yet, I pop down to see my mate Dirt Bike Dave rippin' it up with his lad.
Had too much work going on at home at the minute to be riding kids bike's.

Couple of weeks and our house will be finito. Then that's the wife off my case.
I'll meet you there then and we can go round together and hold each others hand.

I've got a track on my doorstep where I go with my lad It's not as big as the indoor so not half as daunting.

Its awesome, big awesome, so dont let it put you off

I went to have a look round a few weeks ago as i was in the area
not ridden on it tho
in fact not ridden on one for 30 years

you'l love it but you prob wont find a jump you can have 'fun' on, but it is great for finding your feet again and if you can commit to that start hill, your laughing

really like that with the exception of the Motorbike tyres Lee

those Powerbend bars feel so good to ride ... I had a mini pair for my daughters bike that I wish I had kept

Have to agree with ed on the tyres ,surfaces on modern tracks are so much better you might find those tyres don't grip as well as you think ,you'd have probably been better off with these

But at the end of the day it's down to personal choice
One Massive tip for you first time on the track TAKE IT SLOW!!!!
I was gonna start racing masters untill I fell of and broke my shoulder in 4 places!
The confidence was there but tracks are soooo much different and hard when you come off

I really like that Lee!! Spot on fella

That lever is meant to be on the left though dude, the cable guides on your top tube are designed for a lefty lever

....Its more of a natural angle

Looks good Lee.

Ditch the tyres tho !
I had some on my GT Interceptor they aren't the best.I

Im use to riding dirt bikes so like my brake on the right..!
maybe odd to some people but feels better for me

also all the other race bikes here seem to be rear on right.. ?

As long as it works ok then thats the main thing
