    LOL pretty good bikes a few people i know have them, the latest looks sweet as, WTP have done themselves proud for 09. Trouble is (getting back on topic ;) ) that like scooting, BMX costs loads. I spent a fortune on my old one but i can't even sell it for less than £300, and it's worth near £900. Then got a new one instead of a sport setup on the ped (GT Fueler love it ), when you like things it's hard to stop spending, at least for me it is :pimp:

    i love the satisfaction of firing up a freshly built engine and hooning down the road on it or coming into the ghettNO with some fresh panels or a new part and every1 crowding round like YYEAAAAHHHGHHHHH SIIICCCKKKK DEC SICK PED DEC MMMMM WANNA BUM U DEC YEAAAAA

    na but seriously mate, ive always been pretty hard for money and no way mummy or daddy gonna help me 'waste' money on a ped so ive jus scraped up pennys here and there or worked for money and spent it on my ped reaally. jus because i enjoy doing so. :beer:

    On a side note there's a topic where everyone said what they did/their job etc.

    Might get a Yammy Sr125 next year and keep the ped for weekend or summer use, and let the Sr cope with the daily commute and crappy weather

    it is an addiction of such, its sad and deluded to admit to hundreds of people on this forum but its true. We're all on here for the same thing, the love of bikes. I grew up with them and im pretty sure that if alcohol doesn't kill me then i'll die on a bike.
    I'll spend nearly every penny i have on a new part or spare for my scooter.
    Its an escape from all the pain and shit that i have going on in my life.
    i dont know about you lot but i got deep shit going on with me at the moment and i got some issues, but going out for a long ride at night, or putting my bike back together with a new part will beat the feeling of any drug i do, and will beat the numbness of drinking by miles.
    It is my life to a certain extent. It may not be for some, but it is for me.

    Exactly how I feel, apart from the issues bit, I'd say it releives me from stress if the gym don't and it's a hobby. I was on my first bike at 4 years old lol and will never stop. You know you love bikes when you've come off really hurt yaself and look straight at ya bike n think, fuck that's new forks, front handlebar panel etc, shouldn't cost me too much...ah right my leg, ah it will heal lol
