Post by: stidds on June 03, 2015, 11:50 PM: I didn't really lose my building mojo, but had so many other things going on that it took a backseat in my life.

Then out of the blue I get 2 of the bikes I have been searching years for, both landed on me at roughly the same time.

So got them both and will have them ready for MK.

So mojo back again.

Post by: factory pilot on June 04, 2015, 12:26 PM: I think the mojo comes and goes for all of us at various points in the year ....
The high of completing a build is nearly always followed by a massive low ...
The rides and MK always seems restore my faith and mojo... London should be great for doing this !
I think the old guard must have built so many of their grails at a time when parts were NOS, avaliable and affordable...
I love all aspects of BMX and always seem to stumble into builds rather than hunt them out... I think this approach helps keep things fresh for me ... I love a new brand and researching parts and history like with my GHP...

As for restoring my mojo.... A New build thread will be appearing very soon.... Watch this space !

Title: Re: If you've lost ya mojo.
Post by: wilsey72 on June 04, 2015, 03:11 PM: CASH...

If I lose me MoJo it'll be because I run out of BMX Tokens... this will be caused by greedy kids.
So no cash = no enjoying the BUZZ of Mr Postman bringing me goodies.
At the mo the kids and Mrs have skint me out but I'm getting by with polishing and part swapping.

Recon I need to feed the habit soon though, I WANT A BURNER... :uglystupid2: THERE I'VE SAID IT.

20 Nick but your 24's are lovely mate :smitten:

Only asked as I've only ever seen 2 of the 24s for sale, one at a ridiculous price ($1500 f&f) but never any of the 20s. Maybe they are that good people don't want to get rid.

How about an EF Proformer?

hhmmm I have one of those that needs to go for a small repair and re-chrome.

I've never lost my mojo, still love sourcing, restoring and opening NOS items but the pace of builds from me has always been slow I mainly put this down to a lack of space for them once built and avoiding the wife suggesting getting rid of one or two to make space for the newly built ones :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: dordymush on June 06, 2015, 02:57 PM: I deffo got my old school mojo back again.
Went away for a couple of years but I got more old schoolers now than I've had in ages.
Just got one of my grails to that animal Steve is working on for me.

Post by: Retrodan72 on June 07, 2015, 12:14 PM: I lost my mojo in July 2013, but a trip to MK and then finding a Piranha (BITD bike) soon restored it. :daumenhoch:

Post by: NORTY40 on June 07, 2015, 07:09 PM: For all of those who have lost their mojo i have one message for you ...... get out on one of the rides , sink a few beers, have a chat with some like minded RADsters and you will soon get it all back ;)

London was awesome yesterday :4_17_5:
