    Lol Awesome story mate ..

    I keep a close eye .. When he was younger i was restoring a little monkey bike . Spent ages painting, sanding , painting, sanding , painting to get the tank perfect . I had the tank on the frame , forks and front wheel on and it all upside down on my bench .

    He decided to spin the wheel which i saw no harm in . No harm until the frame fell off the bench , landed fuel cap first on the deck and dented the hole fuel cap and hole 2 inches into the tank .

    not a good day ! original tank Ruined ! I don't take my eyes off him for a second now

    Agreed

    All my best memories as a kid have been aboard a motocross bike . Either my dad taking me out or hooning around the roads with my mates on 2 stroke 125's at 17

    Not hugely well, mate. But I do some business with the college and the viaduct is such a brilliant landmark.
