Greetings from the U.K. to all you motorized bikers

[triride]

I am not exactly a newbie but needed to reinitiate my membership so I can log on with my Smart phone
I have a Carrera hardtail mtb , China girl 66cc, SBP exhaust, upgraded the electrics with a Wonderful Creations 12v magneto so now running mr16 x4 led front light and an led rear.
Bought a chain tensioner upgrade kit, which as been great (cannot remember company I bought it from).
Brooks Flyer sprung saddle.
That's pretty much it, think next upgrade will be the shiftkit judging by what everyone on here says about them
Will try and post some pics of the bike if I can work out how to do it??

Cheers, Pete.

Hi Ludwig II,

I am riding under the radar
Well not exactly true at the moment as I think my China Girl has seen it's last days (engine not turning over as a result of trying to climb Swinscoe hill (3mls) in Derbyshire the other day coming home from work.
Had to cycle 22miles at 6-00am after a 12hr night shift
Will be investigating damage later today
Are you registered with your Motorized bike?
I read a thread about trying to register,it sounds a big joke!
I am in Biddulph north of Stoke,where abouts in Brum are you?
Cheers, Pete.

Biddulph, I have a friend living in Biddulph. Lookout for retired bloke on a mental 2 stroke twin.

I have 2 projects on the go, both temporarily sabotaged by events around me. The road bike will go through the Low Power SVA unless I can get the paperwork for a Motobecane donor bike for the engine & transmission, then it's just matter of changing frame details.

SVA is only a glorified MOT, so it's not a big deal. I know of a few people with home brews, and it's nothing like as intimidating as some people seem to think.

Eastern edge of Brum, 2 miles from M6/J4.
