Less horsepower & more pedalpower
Inspired by the thread about peoples motorcycling passions I thought i'd have to stop those of us who love to ride using a bit more energy...
I know Vegas rides and that Tonks got a new two wheeled toy for christmas but there must be a few more here somewhere.
Here's my baby, a 2007 Orange P7 Pro which needs a good clean after this mornings mud bath down by the river.
I've only had it a month now and it was well worth the 1200 quid I blew on it!!! I'm changing bits already though, a new 185mm front rotor has been fitted and some decent pedals are next up.
The bottom pic shows why I chose this one, a British Classic.

Also owned but not pictured are a 1986 Redline RL-20 Mk2 BMX which is totally original even down to the (now sadly perrished) innertubes, a beautiful bike which I got given by an ex-Redline pro my old man works with and a Terrible One Barcode BMX which I still go and cause myself massive amounts of pain on every now and again!
Who else here rides a propper bike?

I couldn't ride that for health reasons either Garry
a) It's got pedals
b) No engine
c) That saddle looks like an instrument of torture.. not something you're supposed to sit on!
Nice flag Rob and no better reason for choosing that model

Old sailors never die.. they just smell that way!
I'm on my way to securing a Giant XTC 3.5
I have currently got a 12 year old Falcon and am enjoying it along with my mountain climbing and feel awesome when outdoors. I feel so much bloody fitter and it is improving my fitness and rugby skills even more!
Highly recommend it!

I think that, sadly, it's a posh way of saying "Made in Taiwan" :sad:Jon.M wrote: What does designed in Britain mean exactly? My Triumph has one which says "Made in England" .
And I know what you mean Tonks, took a little while for me to get used to being back in the saddle.
I can walk properly again now... :shock:
