don't have any spares to help unfortunately - but ride out of Market Harborough with the local club. Regular 2 hour ride on Weds evenings - got some members, and rides, from around Northampton.

Check out www.catsmbc.com
the 'where we ride' bit will be updated in the new year

Ahh yes, i forgot i had typed that!

Ive had a triumph 600 sports and a suzuki 1000 vtwin, i sold the SV1000 this year as it wasnt getting much use, instead i have taken up paramotoring, if you havnt seen it, its like paraliding with a parachute type wing but you have a two stroke motor on your back with a prop to allow you to fly anywhere you like and take off and land from flat ground. I live hours from any decent paragliding hill so its nice being able to go to a field and fly from flat ground. If you want to see it, my very first flight is on youtube...

Oh and the first bike (sort of) i had was a three wheeler

www.grinnallcars.com

that was a fun piece of kit!

Its strange that its come full circle and im now itching to get back to pedal power!

Thats if Callum puts down those mince pies and answers his emails or gets his site going again!! *nudge nudge*

Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!

Just 5 miles South West of Northampton, in the village of Gayton, beyween Towcester and NMP.

Bugger! Market Harborough is t'other side of NMP!

Maybe catch up with you some time if you come "daaan Saaath"

Colin,

Pivots??

Still got a spare?

Andy.

Another Newbie saying hello.

Colin, I also have an XPX that I bought new in Sept 1997, looks just the same as yours.

Very interested in any kits, Pivot?, that you have or if you are doing another order.

I've still got the original Proflex & Girvin manuals & even the receipt.

Ordering the COR upgrade when Callum wakes up.

cheers
Ade

AndySV1K · « **Reply #27 on:** January 10, 2008, 02:35:53 pm »

Hi Ade,

I may well check the sixfield ride, is it every week?

I wont do it just yet as i havnt ridden for a good few years, so i need to gradually get over the butt pains from the saddle first and get some stamina back.

Im not looking forward to not being able to sit down properly. Im definately not going to give in and buy a comfy saddle though!

Andy.
