As well as the bike I have these two pieces of kit which get used as part of my job. The golf buggy gets used as a wheel barrow on jobs, and the forklift just makes my life easier in the work shop. Does anyone else have any battery operated machinery/vehicles.

I didn't! It made me want a bigger garage, and a bigger wallet. :)

Wow Iain, I've often wondered how you are getting on. Race bikes to E-Bikes!!! :) We have some big catching up to do. :) I have some very happy memories of those Bemsee days, and equally some very very sad ones. Life just hasn't been the same since the death of James. That hit me very badly:(

KudosDave, I'm sure that I signed up here a long time ago as EddieJ, but couldn't log in with that name, which is why I have the 'P' there. So unless the Eddie that you have mentioned, constructed oak framed buildings for living, used to race Rookie 400, a bit of Super Sport 400, briefly GP250...

I couldn't even find the bike, but putting the letters XTR on things is pretty normal for cheap Chinese stuff. Even my £3.00 inc P&P from China tool bag has it on. There won't be any Shimano XTR equipment on that bike. £1,000.00 is still a lot of money to many people, but that does seem to be...

Bike manufacturers must spend a fortune on research, development, and trying to get the cycle parts to operate safely enough to be let loose upon the public. It must be bloody hard being a bike dealer, trying to convince someone that their bike isn't safe to ride.

I think that I'd have to refine it a bit before doing that. ;) It does work the very though. :)

Nah, the Conway E-Rider Extreme sounds much nicer. It also looks a damn sight nicer. :) Behind that, I'd put the Voltz E-Trail. On topic though, I think that my 250watts is enough when it comes to the speed stakes. I think that just being able to climb a hill at a reasonable and relatively...

Brilliant, thanks for that. :) A few weekends ago I clocked two people out riding on what looked to be those exact tyres, but didn't get the chance to ask what they were.

As for me buying the wrong bike, in the early days of use I did think that, but that opinion has long since gone, and I can't get enough of riding it. I would add that you aren't exactly faultless in the buying the wrong bike department either. I didn't switched brands when I had issues with...

Back out today along my favourite bridleway. Sadly I think that the tyres are going to have to go, so any thoughts on what to change them for, now that winter and the muddy season is approaching. :) The riding is probably split 60% on road 40% off road, and the bike is currently fitted with...

No1foxy, you are certainly a glass half empty kind of guy. I can't imagine that anything is ever right for you, or ever pleases you :(

I have to ask No1foxy, what were you doing in the first place riding up steep hills in the highest gear. It's hardly surprising that the thing gave up, if that is the kind of abuse that were repeatedly giving it. No bike whatever brand is going to poke up with that kind of abuse for long. I...

I have Shimano PD-A530 clipless pedals and ride in SPD shoes on my Neo Xtrem and even with the heavy tumble that I took last week after a combination of them being too tight and also being rammed solid with mud, I really rate both and riding on the flats just doesn't feel right now. Two...

What brilliant story and thanks for sharing it. :) You even brought back some childhood memories for me, when you mentioned "NSU Quickly".

Tn6 1rt :)

From this link, it appears that the helmet cam wasn't working. i made this, and so can you.: July 2013 Still a very enjoyable and enthusiastic video clip. :)

Thanks iain85. I did buy a KTM a couple of years ago with the intention of trail riding, but suddenly realised that my interest wasn't there anymore. I wanted a quiet hobby for once. :) I bought the Xtrem on impulse, and only went into the shop to look at e-bikes. I had that horrid WTF have I...

Getting the bike muddy would be even worse! :) I hate the position of the water bottle, and have now done something about that. I'd rather not have the rack fitted, but I'm trying to use the bike to go to and from work a bit, and need the extra room to carry my crap. Sadly the original...
