What for. The lad's on a roll. Already I reckoned he's produced a new word for the KB dictionary,right up there with the gargre and praking.

Tring. Y'know how bling is sort of ornamental stuff that isn't really ornamental? Well I reckon tring is sort of useful stuff that isn't really much use. Jolly useful word I reckon.

EDIT: - The original tring quote before amendation

Boi Racers was pretty damn good too - from the Boi himself....but tring has a practical poipose.

The Citroens have left Mania - flee! Bread alone cannot save Mania.

My mom was born in Kaponga, does that qualify? (at least for the twitch)

What ever do you mean? Did you go to an all girl school? I ask only because I can't think of anyone on kb more literate than you..

Id say by your general attitude you should wait a while before getting a bike.
Ive always been a fairly careful driver but I was smart enough to stay with 4wheels untill I knew that Im grown up enough to think before doing something stupid.
I think if I had got a bike when I was 16 (like I wanted to) I most likely would have done myself some damage.

az 4 da txt spelin sht, Dont do it - it will piss to many people off, even us younger ones.

She may even soften some more and not minded you riding on the road.

If I had kids they would have to ride off road first.
Because they would learn more in the relative safety of a softer dirt with no cars, trucks to run them over.

And the speeds are lower and you can wear more safety gear.
The main danger now is that young guys want to jump to high and far before they are ready and then they do get hurt real bad.

Good call this

1000 - 1500 will pick you up a cheap CR125. Get out to a few trail rides first , then have a go at Competition,

You can go NUTZ ...and its all perfectly umm fine , legal ...

and the best bit...there aint anything comming in the other direction !!! ]

yes you might wake up a bit sore sometimes ( and you will soon find out what its like to Sh!t a brick ... gas it to much or wrong tech from a jump ,,,, oh and youll find out what pain is ...

Youll also give up drugs / booze and / women ...... all to feed your new fix

Speeed

Eventually you might want to buy a road bike , but,,,,,,, 270km/h is just a number on the speedo and a lot of noise ... ,,,, boooring

16 was ok back when all you had was a triumph terrier or Bsa d175 . But a aprillia 125 can top 100 mph now ....

Get dirty ....the mud beckons

PS your dad will be way into it ...........

Hang around lad, I foresee a rich new stream of additions to the KB glossary.

Tring. Like bling, but it's useful instead of ornamental.

sk8r_boi finally has a worthy successor I reckon

Some one call the emergency team for Mr Hitcher please.

I used to work in Tring ......

As you approach the main street to turn left or right there is a small hump backed bridge , blind.

On any bike you lift the front end over the bridge , only to discover it is a sharp left with stone walls

Thats all I can say about Tring ( they did some nice Ho train sets,,,,)
