Rode it around my gravel drive once so far. I've been o nights (sat, sun mon tuesday). I found it sunday when i got up. viewed about 7 and came home and went to work. Got up about 2 monday and it got delivered about 8. went to work after a quick go lol. Got up tuesdat about 2 again and had things to sort so no chnce. Today I got up and went looking for a garage to rent for it to live in.

Wil have a look tomorrow. It needs carb settings adjusting. It will start from cold with no choke far too easy. The kill switch isnt working too but no biggy. I'm looking for a 2-3 bike trailer now.

Ordered all my MX gear. spent bloody 500 odd quid.

Gonna try most of it on in a bit so will upload a photo.

The most expensive was an alpine stars bionic neck brace at 200 quid lol! Can't wait to get to the local track. Golding Barns raceway if anyone is interested in having a look. Buzzing!

Never done it myself. Always wanted too. A mate at the hospital said he wanted to get into it so i said lets go for it. Another childhood friend has just got an rm125 and is buying a van. He's been going a few times recently. Sounds awesome.

No unfortunatley not. Still for sale. My bike fund is somewhat in the red at the moment since buying the bike, a 3 bike trailer and £530's worth of motoX gear. Still. I'm young and wanna live while i can. Never know when you might get hut by a bus so to speak. Had a few things happen recently that have made me take a step back and realise that you have to live life while you can. I've also been being really pleasant to all the A&E nurses recently. I'm sure i'll end up in there at somepoint. :)

First day Riding motorcross on Sunday. The most local track was closed due to bad weather so we went to Mill Lane track in Crawley. Was £25 for 3 x 20 minute sessions between 10 and 1. They only open until 1 on a sunday due to restrictions. It was wood chip and has draingage so even thought it was hammering rain most of the day we still got to ride and had loads of grip for the conditions. I found it a lot harder than i expected and during the first session my gear lever decide to part ways with the gear shaft and so i was left stranded out on the track in 5th and she didnt want to pull away like that I can tell you.

Started to get the hang of it over the next 2 sessions and in the last sesssion i even managed to get into the powerband. This is not a joke. It was hard and the first time id ever ridden in motocross boots and first time id ever ridden this bike!

Anyway here is a photo from the photographer that i found on facebook. I expect ill be back there on Sunday for another session.

Arm pump?

Just as an idea of price. So far I've spent just short of £1600 which includes

Bike
3 bike trailer
helmet
boots
jersey and pants
neck brace
armour
gloves

Couldnt really do much cheaper but could easily spend a hell of a lot more!

Fly - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-2013-FLY-KINETIC-INVERSION-HELMET-MOTOCROSS-ENDURO-MX-HELMET-BLUE-BLACK-/271125600309?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Helmets&var=&hash=item3f20585835

I'm aching like a bitch today. My arms are twice the size of most peoples arms anyway as aim a super fit body builder type hard nut so i probably wouldnt notice the difference. ;)

Dpends where you go. Some places check your helmet for the right stickers etc. Most insist on boots and helmet. I bought it all as i value my life lol. The jersey and pants were cheap at 40 quid delivered brand new but i dished out on the safety gear. neck brace being 200 quid alone.

I did stand up at times for riding yeah. As it was my first go it was all abit new and changing gears was strange. Probably going to golding barns on sunday if its open, if not it will be back to churchill/mill lane.

My YZ is not road legal incase you mean mine Cal?

Should be standing up pretty much all the way round apart from corners! When standing up pinch the bike with your knees!
