So, 3 minutes ago I'm driving to the petrol station and I spot a yellow loopy ripper in the window of a car garage. I didn't stop so I don't know if it's for sale or just for display but it's in Ringwood, Hampshire - opposite The Lamb pub. Just thought I'd mention it...
-
Be interesting to know if its original. They came in yellow bitd and you dont see alot of refurbed frames painted yellow.
Interesting.
-
I'll take a photo tomorrow and post it up........ if I'm not snowed in, haha.
-
I had a yellow loopy done by superbikedan and eventually sold it to JT, so it could be his..... be interesting to find out about this one!
-
not mine..mine's tucked up nice and cosy in bed.

Lovely that is :daumenhoch:
is that an AD 990 with a plate ???
-
Yeah, it's a 990 plate. It looks like this guy just took over a Volvo garage in Ringwood and now sells classic sports cars, and this PK is in the window. I think it's just for show.
-
Sooooooooooo close to Ringwood Brewery.
-
wierd set up
-
not if you want a brake that works, but wierd if its just a show slut
-
Quite a thick plate, not sure how a 990 is set up but thought it had a bridge cable, looks like a bit like a pitbull :-\
-
Looks like he's set the AD up like you would a front AD brake, with the cable going straight into the side of the brake. Also, I noticed he's got a pedal on the other side...he just took one off to zip tie the bike to the wall. DX's maybe?
Next time I'm riding past and can look closer I will.
-
take a brick with you.... and some snips....

:2funny: and some black spray for the cctv at the garage !! :angel:
-
Update, he's got more old schoolers in there as I spotted one through the window... dunno what it is though.
-
Bigger update, met the guy today as we were nearby dog walking so i killed two birds with one stone.
The guy Charlie has quite a few bikes, some in the garage, some at home which he is hoping to bring to the garage.
At home he has a Redline RL20, a Kuwhara Laserlite and a Mongoose pitbike. In his garage are these beautys below.
This is the chrome one that Steve could see.
Skyway Extra long.

I was given permission to take the photos and post them on here, he's hoping to join RAD a bit later, although he might also be an old member from a few years ago.
These were not his own bikes from BITD, he has had them for a fair few years though. His showroom is full of classic cars so he does have an interest in all things old.
Ohhhh, and all you lot interested in the loopy ripper, hard luck, he said he wouldn't sell for £1500 and he has been asked quite recently. Also he knows what he has here aswell. ;)
Me personally, i want the skyway and Charlie wants a Quadangle. Hmmmm, trades perhaps. :)

COOL update, Ringwood's an even Radder town now. :daumenhoch:

Did anyone spot the dodgey rebuild on the Torker DX's?
They have been stripped and rebuilt on the wrong spindles. Am I looking too closely? :daumenhoch:

DY bars on the TA and yes, DX's have been rebuilt back to front!
I'll have to have a wander down the road to Ringwood........
