Yeah please let me know how you get on with the squashy thing.

I wouldn'r recommend this for a serious rider though.

what kind of wall do you recomend? ;)

lodge:
Brick but make sure the mortar has fully dried you might need to use a moisture meter to establish that the mortar is dry enough to take the envisaged impact.
If your not sure employ a chartered building surveyor and request a certificate before commencing to smash the bike into the chosen wall.

Bettyswallocks:
Watch your speed if you give the wall method of fork sraightening a go, too fast and this could happen...  :D



Forks are straight though... job done...  :daumenhoch:

lodge:
Also good if you want to shorten your wheelbase :daumenhoch:
