What alternative toys do people have?

Featured Replies

I suppose I should put down some other toys then seen as the bike is currently out of action! ;)

Got a 2004 Marin Rock Springs TARA system with Marzocchi MX Pro Bomber Forks and Fox Float R shock. Another toy that doesn't get as much use as it once did is my HPi RS4 IC R/C car. Came with Lotus Elise shell, then got a new shape Celica shell, now housed by a Mitsubishi Eclipse shell. :D

mmmmmmmmmm' date=' I love Triumph's. Looking at MCN this week and the new Speed Triple looks interesting. Underseat exhaust! :thumbup:

Been thinking about trading my SV in for a Daytona 600 or Speed Four. Speed Triple may be a bit too much on the old insurance for me! :([/quote']

Dont assume the Speed Triple is expensive to insure - I'm 31 with 4 years NBC and I've just been quoted

Except being 23 with 2 years NCB, they tend to sting you for all your worth! Cost me

My second car is a Reanault 5 GT Turbo. Which is currently up for sale. Much prefer the Skoda so the 5 is going.

You're not selling any bits and bobs for the camper are you? My next door neighbour is putting one together.

Sorry Rich all the bits that were taken off have either been repaired and reused or scraped.
