2nd time noob - Hello Again!

[Larry Gllifter]

Hello again, was a member on here some years ago but god knows what happened to my old ID. So now I'm back, from outer space, I just walked into find you here with that rad look upon your face..
Anyway, back on track, Got my 85 Master off a member on here about 5 yrs ago and have only used it a handful of times couple of charity runs etc but now it seems I have been cajoled into the London to Brighton in June on said 85 Master...
Need to re engage, get parts, get motivated, get less fat and get on with it!
Already drooling over the bikes on here, Haro's the favourite (my ride as a kid) but loving PK Rippers, Quadangles, Skyway & Kuwahara oh and everything else of course... I'm off for a mooch around the site!

   back to RAD  Larry !!

Nice Haro

Nice ride there fella 

Welcome back 

[CustardLips]

  back to the fold. 

[BMX1973]

  back to rad 

[griff]

welcome back (and nice haro   )

If you're doing L2B on that I have a couple of slight mods to suggest

get a padded gel seat cover
swap your pads for some that will work well enough on tuffs (clear squeaky ones from the Rad Shop managed to stop me at the bottom of one of the hills when the lights changed suddenly)

that ditchling beacon is a bastard
nice view though

  NICE RIDE

Yep, Ditchling beacon is tough. I managed it on a road bike in a september charity ride, somehow. if you're doing it in June you'll probably have to walk it due to the sheer number of riders.

Thanks for the tips Griff, much respect to anyone who has mastered this feat of utter lunacy.
I have the seat cover from my road bike and padded shorts too, which still wont be enough!
Will look for pads as braking on mine is not great. I did the ride a few years ago on a road bike and managed to ride the beacon (only just).. really not looking forward to it.. There better be cold bloody beer in Brighton!

I'll probably have to walk it due to the fat overweight nature of my Danny DeVito-esque physique! but I'll happy blame traffic
