Hi from North Wales

Post by howy »

Hi, located in North Wales in a county called Flintshire right on the cusp of some epic biking roads.

Currently got 2 red white 1998 4XV's and just in the throws of refreshing a 1998 Blue 4XV and looking for some bodywork for the blue one too if anyone has any they want to sell

Welcome to the forum Howard, beautiful collection of bikes you have there.

Julian is right m, ignore monkey face aka jompy.... his idea of modifying a bike is to rip its fairings off... so your blue one would be perfect for him...

Now... you may, hopefully, be able to lay to rest the perennial question we have on here..... which is fasted.... super fast red or extra slow blue?

I once made the mistake of saying to a guy in the office, after he asked me the question “what colour is your bike” I replied “super fast red, that are he fastest”..... Kevin... or Eisenstein as we called him... (that was a joke) went on for almost an hour as to why the particles in red paint make that colour the fastest.... that’s why Ferrari’s are red he summed up.... God he was boring.... always had an answer for everything.... even if it was wrong..... still it takes all sorts

Welcome and post up some pics

Stephen
