[Gerro]

Cheers mate, na I used to take my phone out with me until it fell out of my pocket and skidded down the road.. Haha

 

[Hussey]

Looks sweet as! Loving the detail and colour. Everywhere you look it's bling but it's done tastefully so good work. Make sure you enter fotm soon. You'd get my vote

 

[Gerro]

Also sorry to anyone who has a sore neck from reading my thread. I have been using Tapatalk for a while to upload photos straight from my phone, I only realised today when I jumped on my work PC that some of the photos aren't rotated correctly..

Your bike is mint I'd put it in a fish tank in the entrance wall of my house !

 

[Gerro]

Had a bit of a stack on the weekend at a mates track.. Got tangled up with another rider in a corner.. My leg got caught up under the rear guard between the tyre and swing arm. Most of the burns on my leg are from the tyre but the back of my ankle did touch the exhaust. It should teach me a lesson from riding in boardies. My bike didn't take to much damage which is the most important thing.. Haha

 

[timeeh]

Ouch, thats gonna sting for a few days Boardies is one thing, but a pair of boots would of stopped it... Ah well, at least no broken bones, skin mends quicker. Hows the bike looking?

 

[rotn50]

Damn dude, there gonna be nice scars, yeah boardies are okay on the bmx but the minis as you now know bite a Lil harder. Good stuff for mixing it up on the weapon bro.

 

[Hussey]

Nasty stuff. Some people think its weird I wear full sized boots on minis but I just try to think of situations like that. Hope you mend up soon mate.

 

[Cordogs]

Yep second that! *^^^^ full size boots for me as well as riding pants, call me a sook but I'm well aware of the pain involved in skin loss through skating n bmx!

Lesson learnt mate?

 

[Gerro]

Haha thanks guys.. The bike is fine, that's was actually the first thing that went through my mind after it happened.. The bike ran like a champ all day and handled great, I think I finally have my float dialled in.. I did have one problem at the start of the day with the bike not wanting to start, it had already been started and ridden for a while then just bogged and stalled out. Turned out to be my plug which was an iridium that I only bought a few months ago..

[Gerro]

Haven't had an update in a good while, work has been keeping me way to busy.. I had a custom seat cover made up by Mario front Topline Upholstery, he did an awesome job but it should be expected as he makes seats for the likes of Ben Townley..

Here's a photo he sent me of the cover

Here is a photo of a similar cover off a CRF450

 

[Shearer]

O yeah cool as man!!

 

[8r3nd0]

Are you for real, is that mates rates or what?
I know this might be pushing it but do ya reckon there's any chance he'd make up another one but red. Wink wink I'd make it worth ya while.

That's the going rate, the owner seems like a really nice bloke and said his not out to make a million dollars..

 

[Georgalis]

[Gerro]
