So when are we doing it.  

Soon as poss with this nice weather. If i can make it i'll be up for it.

Next Sunday would be good I may have to bring my mtb till I get a Grifter if thats OK

Grifters only im afraid mate no other bikes allowed.

It wont be next week so that will give you time to get your grifter on the road

aha! the bmth (or nearby) rideout 2!! excellent!!

hate to be the bearer of bad news though, but during july and august no cycling allowed along the prom    you're only allowed on the bit between bmth and boscome piers    reopens to bikes after 6pm each night...

definately up for a meet though!

we could do the sandbanks ride thats sounds like a good one john.  

Why not ride them off road like they were designed for in the first place

 Im not sure grifters were designed for off road look how weak the forks are! They were designed for 8-14 year olds as a rugged street bike.

think the sandbanks/poole ride is still allowed by the authorities!  i don't mind taking my grifter off road, even with a fairly sizeable "1 pack" to contend with... no trouble with the forks yet  

You know what i mean john its ok on mud and grass but imagine it in the woods over tree stumps! It think our grifters wouldnt last 5 mins!!! I think i will stick to the road thanks i love my grifter too much.  

You take the high road and we will take the low

Deal! Mind you i think the low road is on sand (good luck mate)  

   

had my super out for a bit of off-roading the other week, location near ferndown which is near bournemouth - the ride featured some gruelling uphills as well as crazy downhills

(apologies for picture quality, off my mobile)





i'm afraid to say i went over tree-stumps galore wayne!!

you love it!!!  It looks like a great place to ride maybe i could bring one of my mk1s im least fond of just incase i do stack it on some giant log! (the pre pros are a no no!!)  

i do indeed wayne!!  the pictured grifter is my "rider" - i allow myself to do skids and everything on this one!  

on this particular ride i was descending a steep hill and the handlebars started slipping forward as i hadn't done the bolts up tight enough!  most disoncerting!  

its definately worth having a proper rider - so you can treat it just like you used as a lad!  (well maybe a bit more carefully...)

im up for that    we will have two meets! One on road (sandbanks ride) one off road (crazy downhill jumps and such!)

I dont fancy going off road, ive enough trouble staying on mine on the road  

mike loves it!!!    Im up for the sandbanks ride mark  

Great pics mate    i hit the rough stuff on both my bikes on a regular basis! with them not being mint i can enjoy them!! i draw the line at jumping ramps though!!
