I have a situation where I live that I cannot keep a trials bike but still want to ride one. So I had an idea! Now would someone out there in the West Midlands area be willing to look after a bike for me if I bought one, then bring it to trials events on a regular basis and look after it and maintain it after the trial? For this I would pay all costs plus a few bob on top. I don't want to take the p*** so I would make sure it is worth someone's while to do this.

Anybody interested in something like this? You can PM me if you want or email me at ian.beardsall AT googlemail.com
Cheers
Ian

I suppose you want all your riding gear washing and your boots cleaning as well. :rotfl:

HAHA - Knew I would be in for some stick but hey, it could be a nice little earner for someone so don't knock it :rotfl:

... especially if I buy a brand new Ossa or something that they can play on when i'm not riding it :rotfl:

Im in leeds, i'll garage it, look after it, maintain it, ride it. I just can't bring it to trials sorry.

But because i can't fulfill your requirements, i will wash your gear for you!

Hope this is ok.

You said it .... :rotfl:

We had a mate like this once, the bottom line was he didn't want her indoors to know he had a bike, wanted one of the other forum users to keep it at his place etc...... He never did buy the bike.. :rotfl:

John,

Can I believe my eyes, have you turned to the dark side, bullen on a gasser, thought I'd never see the day.

Are you riding the Cleveland on your new mount??
