Hell yeah! I love the thing, it aint good unless its full twist! Looking for more riders up here but only know a ouple of mates that can keep up with me! I aint saying i am a great rider but i seem to be pretty quick, was going to start racing in the scottish series this year but as i work away month on month off we figured out what my schedule would be and i would have made 3 races! PISH........
