"Proper" bikes too - had an Aprilia Falco until 18 months ago when a freak accident left me chewing motorway at 70mph. Not something I fancy repeating but it taught me the value of carbon fibre body armour.

Lithril said:I've got a bicycle as well ... Went out on it just after christmas and hit a damp wooden bridge, still got the lump on my leg from the bruising :-(
Yeah - designed by I think it was Stuart Whyte - he worked for a formula 1 race team as his day job. I've seen them but not ridden one. There's a second generation model out now. Reputed to be the smoothest ride on the block but not meant as an extreme down hiller. The forks move back as well as up when they hit a bump. Not cheap, but far from the dearest kit out there. Stocked by the Leisure Lakes chain.Andy said:the power transefer is getting a lot better now with these propedal shocks. has anyone heard about the whtye bike with 6inches of travel for a trail bike
