this is gonna be messy, he's been bitten BAD and we all know where that leads :LolLolLolLol:

Are you sure you want to remove all that history from your ripper. I loved the way it looked at mk. And would love to have one of my old rides from bitd with all the marks and scratches. In the end its yur ride and do with it as you please. But I reckon by the time you restored your ripper you might be looking at a haro sized bill

Totally having it.
Thanks for your comments Jaymz, respect your opinion, but on sunday I wouldnt of thought i'd be doing this.
Better remove my snipeswipe for the haro.....before the missus finds out as set at £1500.00 YES I WAS DELUDED but have seen the light !
love you all x

im not restoring it - restoring it. More ' rat look ' - tidy but lived in. Which it is, and of course cane it round the woods.
-
Mattdub - yeah have taken loads of shots, will open up a thread in restoration - cheers..... Dont forget first effort - and I'm riding it everywhere.

BTW on the profile pic that is me on the far left - on an MT racing silverfox. I saw a dude at MK13 on one, but he was deep in conversation when I spotted him, lovely bike !

thatll be griff on the mt he'll talk your ear off about it if you ask! They are a good priced build to do. If you can find one.
-
If you are going to ride it then the Ripper is a better bike IMO
Ive had both and even though Gen 1s are beautiful bikes the ripper just feels more stable.
Enjoying cleaning it and leave it as a survivor. Pointless spending dollar getting it restored only to ride it and scratch it.
Clean, ride, enjoy. thats what they were made for :D
-
yeah know what your sayin jimwise68 - my aim is to spend about 3 days on it this week, ready to go BMX'ing.
If anyone local to wigmore , gillingham, kent, that wants to go BumFlexing gimme a shout. Two skate parks in medway, at cozenton park, rainham, kent, and also rochester, kent.
-
I'll be there.

Thanks Adam, you should have come over despite LuckyJaymz's warning :teef:
-
I was close Griff , brought back amazing memories - I wish I spoke to more people that day - a bit of me being overwhelmed / tad shy - you'll certainly hear from me next meet up - cant wait - when is it by the way ?
-
I would just take it apart, clean it up and put it back together. :)
-
That's exactly what I'm gunna do bmx1973 - I've cleaned the skyways -they've come up ok - satisfied - frame coming on - just some new decals - and I'm off. Was listening to ET soundtrack whilst doing wheels. Very pleasant indeed.
-
I'll be there.
Hey Rich. :LolLolLolLol:
Still in neutral then, Wait till he gets into top gear ..... :4_17_5:
-
Is ' top gear ' - lieing in bed - post coital - trying for number two - and just wishing I can sneak into the garage with my polish and spanners and vodka diet lemonade ?
-
I have just added some piccies to the resto section :D
