No. They will ask 'How old are you' 'How much did it cost' and 'Can you do a back flip'
Looks very nice, saw it in the flesh on Saturday :daumenhoch:

I went to millhouses skatepark with the kids on my yellow dirtbike resto last week, one of the locals asked me what an s&m dirtbike was... oh dear.

Post by: generallee on May 06, 2009, 09:20 AM: LOVE IT!
Weirdly, I was toying with doing the same thing to my dirtbike 08! Ive nearly always ridden S&M's, and rode dirtbike after dirtbike, then eventually switched to Holmes' ... so I couldnt decide which I loved the most in the past - probably the Holmes. Also, the new Dirtbike could be a dirtbike up to about 20.5" , and the 21" should really be called the Holmes anyway!
anyway - in the end, I stuck with the dirtbike name - and am building it up as we speak!
Superbike Dan and Del magic again...

Post by: GINGERHOLMES on May 06, 2009, 09:32 AM: i couldnt wait to get it all together once all the bits turned up

and as my name says i likes the holmes frame, so i knew i had to get the holmes decals onto the frame as soon as i had them both together, especially as alex got me the scans of the mk1 decals :) :)
