Stumbled accross this forum while googling mod 2 info.
Anyway I'm a 40 something chap who randomly decided to get on 2 wheels again after a long break (24 years)
I tinkered with bikes a few years back, sat a cbt but didnt see it through and forgot about it.
I now own a CCM 644 and an XT125 while i'm on the prov to get some experience/confidance back.
I hope to be on the CCM soon Cool

The CCM looks bonkers. Have you had a go of it? On private land of course. Wink

wow that does not look stable on the side stand. strong gust of wind and it'd probably go over...

welcome back to 2 wheels


Do you not understand gravity? The more leaned over it is, the less likely it is to fall unless it goes over a ridiculous angle.

Living up to your username again. Thumbs Up

angle is a tad extreme but is well planted, I dunno how popular I'll be when I go to park with other bikes nearby!

not really sunk in yet to be honest.
I'm browsing ebay for another bike and knowing I can ride anything now is a strange thought!

lol you get used to it after a while. most of the time i ignore them or just flame them a little. it can be fun but for the most part i try to get along with people around here. doesnt always work though. some people are just annoying and out for trouble
