My Bikes 2

DamonC

This time they are really mine and I've provided my own pics

I am new around here so thought I post up a pic of my new MTB and the other favourite bike a 1984 Gen II Haro Freestyler.

The MTB is a Trek 8000 I have changed the tyres for a narrower wired Panaracers.

I've not been been able to exercise much this year so I have now bought the bike with the view to losing the weight I have gained during my recovery from an injury. I used to do a lot of offroad owning several Orange bikes.

Tomorrow I am heading of to Llandegla for a very gentle ride and looking forward to getting very cold and muddy and then the associated aches on Monday

My other passion is motorsport and the Exige in the picture is my trackday car.

So far I have found the forum to be a great place and am looking forward to making a contribution going foward.

Cheers

Damon

Nice bikes, loving the car!

Thanks everyone, looking back maybe a bit showy to do the car thing, but it is a real part of my life as I work as a freelance in motorsport and love all things car.

love the trek. looks really nice. hope to see you around more often.

Paul 8v

Not showy at all, I love cars too and that ones awesome, I've always wanted an exige, that and the elise are what I'd call pure sports cars, hardly any mod cons to keep the weight down, just a pure lightweight car.

This is mine, a wee bit different but it took about two years to complete from a pretty rusty shell! It's been in the garage for about the last month though as the weather is so bad, these were taken a couple of months ago!




Let's see how well people know their cars and see if anyone knows what it is ;-)

i'll be totally honest, i don't know :oops: but i do like it!!!! 8)

jay12

is it a Trabant?

Paul 8v

Not a Trabant lol but I have had that one before, I'll give you a clue, it's got no radiator

DamonC

Imp?

Captain Turok

A VeDub Type something or other (Variant)? Or an early Karman Ghia? SoCal 'ish, but loving the pinstriping so I guess that makes it a kustom with a capital 'K'? 8)

Paul 8v

It is indeed a VW, type 3 notchback, it does look a wee bit different from the original one though so not easy, most definitely custom with a 'K' Built by the lads down at the paintbox, hopefully they might spray a bike for me at some time and they're very fond of the old beach cruisers down there too

ramemtbers

M6TTF

Lovin the notch, mate had a minter he brought over from Belgium, totally stock, he dumped it on it's arse - awesome

Paul 8v
