About me

I dont live in a pineapple under the sea.

Voted BCF's stupidest member 2013. Mummy will be proud.

Quite possibly not as thick as you think I am, however I struggle with words & explaining things to people.


Useful stuff I wrote

https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=4023421#4023421 - (Ongoing) Tuning a Chinese moped, with actual data to prove performace gains.

I was hoping this experiment would prove the benifits of tuning a scooter & offer a few wallet freindly options to get BCF's younger members through their first year on the road, however it all got a little out of control after the big end failed.

https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=284901 - Guide for road registering an offroad bike.

Figured it'd save someone a headache! Covers all aspects of the paperwork & requirements.

https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=240845&start=0 - YBR125 servicing guides, mods & maintiance.

I wrote this as I'd started biking & hoped it'd help a few other people along the way. Basic servicing is covered, including valve clearances, chain adjustment, and a load of other things. I even noted what tools would be required for what jobs at the time as most new riders would have to go and buy tools to do jobs.

First crash

The engine failiure after a 120mph max speed run;

https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b545/paddynewman/P1010462_zpsebb4efa9.jpg

Then got painted & sold to a chav;

First time on a proper offroad bike (KTM 144 EXC);

https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b545/paddynewman/dirty/P1010753_zps0cda0b6c.jpg

Which prompted the purchase of a 1996 CR125 - totally rebuilt this one from bare frame & had it road registered.

Blew the clutch up the next day;

Then a Corsa SMIDSY'd me on it after 4.4hrs of use.

https://i.imgur.com/pXnECF8.jpg

Went to a trackday to watch/help out a few BCF'ers;

https://i.imgur.com/TOggJ47.jpg

Rode a few cool small bikes at the BBQ in 2014 (including superped, I spent most of the BBQ working on it Laughing);

And some bigger ones too!

https://i.imgur.com/gpcoHF2.jpg

Diddn't fancy riding the CR hard as my wrist was still pretty fucked, but this guy seemed pretty capable of testing it out;

https://i.imgur.com/gePN9Mm.jpg

G was equally as harsh on it - was good to see the bike getting used for the first time since the crash!

https://i.imgur.com/fJYSbZF.jpg

I then found I diddn't use it, the theft risk was insane & my wrist hurt far too much to enjoy it.

So I put it up for sale, ended up selling it on my birthday & 15 mins later bought...

...A 2007 KTM Duke 2!

https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=294121

Got it cheap through work as it'd been crashed & needed quite a few consumables, we'd taken it as a P/X & the boss diddn't want it in the showroom as it was a bit scruffy. Spent a day and £400 on it & it scrubbed up really well!

Then decided touring would be a good idea so took it to France;

2am coast ride with a few of the guys from SE section;

Then I bought a scooter.
