  6. It is alot of money but would be good to go to when i have time in the week, only problem is ill be on my own which means no trying anything big =(
  7. I started riding about 14 months ago and I got in touch with dave glover, spoke to Cath, I said that I used to ride there (which I did briefly before my bike was stolen) and used to pay Micks mum down in the village. She found me a place even though they had exceeded their maximum, give it a go, she may say yes. Edens is silly money, does he let people on any other day than saturday? I would consider it because its not far from my shop and I could get some extra practice in. All the best Tom
  8. Im assuming your talking about eden fields? I live in chesterfield and have a shop in sheffield and I practice mostly at Hawks Nest in Buxton and at Burycliffe Quarry outside Elton near matlock. sometimes make the trip down to earl shilton near leicester. you used to be able to go to Pindale Quarry but its now a site of scientific interest =( Where abouts in sheffield do you live? All the best Tom

  10. does anyone know if the rear wheel bearings are the same size as the front ones? if so, will a rear wheel bearing from an 08 GasGas fit in the front of an 05 GasGas? Thanks in advance =] Tom
  11. ooooooooh yes! (In a Churchill Stylee) That sucks Scorpa3, bet ya learned your lesson though! Being as im riding on slicks this weekend I think I might do another burnout and get a video, Dont want to do too many though....dont think its good for the rest of the bike........
  12. What is the Definition of Regret? Having a rear tyre with 2mm treat left and thinking "I know, Ill do a massive burnout because im getting a new tyre next week". Burnout Reduces tyre treat to 1mm and nowhere is open for me to buy a new tyre, DOH! Tom

  16. Does anyone know roughly when we find out if we have a place in the SSDT? I think the anticipation is going to leave me with some sort of mental scarring.... All the best Tom
