Yeah defo late 80s early 90s donations going on there. TBH When I compare our modded versions compared to majority of the foreign ones i come across ours defo wins hands down. Thats without being biased either. There is some that are really good but they are far and few between. Take Cals for e.g there is no comparsion, If I compiled alist there would more of ours that are better modded out than theres. I say we over here do a better job

That bottom one isn't a dt. Not really. Its just what. Dt frame and plastics. Everything else like the swing arm, forks and engine are from another biks.
Oh i don't know. I was looking through that thread and they are absolutely mad over there. They really do take pride in their work. I just don't think they go that extra mile.
Like take nevs bike. He restored it to a fine example. But its also got this wicked LITTLE touches. Like taking the spring off the shock and getting that sprayed. Or two tone the panel and forks. And little brackets sprayed green.
But that said look at weemans DT. Chromed EVERYTHING then tweaked the rear end can. So nice lol.
Do they have chavs over there. Or is 17 year old bike mad lol. I would love to live in a world without theft or crime. It's such a nasty, pointless thing to do. You can't steal my bike then make it your own. Love it like you would if it were your pride and joy. And what i don't get is how they can have no sympathy. That WAS someones pride and joy. You wouldn't like it if i done it to you.
Might be cause they buy their bikes before they're 17 or of age then tune them. Then find they can't handle the power. Its like on my bike ive uprated all the brakes all round to handle the new power.
I think it's due to the general disregard to any form of road safety from all road users. Cars bike pedestrians cyclists are all as bad as each other out there.
Can ride mopeds over there at 14. Don't know about 125CC's.
KLE621 or whatever his username on YouTube is shows just how wild they are in Brazil etc, filtering at over 100MPH. Its no surprise they have a RIP section that is updated daily.
BTW it's that KLE's job to filter at over 100MPH as his a courier, and the quicker he gets to the destination the more money he gets, so he speeds for the more money. Or that's a few of the riders in Brazil etc filtering at stupid speeds. I get a lot of them mixed up with each other.
BTW this video is from one of the guys that died's tribute ride / meet up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jQENdN8abB0#!
Note how most of them don't have their helmets done up, that's why most of them die. Not doing their helmets up, or having them pulled up over their head. I don't think there is any laws on having the helmet done up over there, or the police just don't care / can't catch them. Sad term of events but yeah. :(
