It helps somewhat that the bloke’s a genius with a brazing torch.


Luckily I'm a genius with a 4" grinder with a sanding disc.


.... its like getting a piece of coal for Xmas.


Wait, what? You had Xmas and you got a piece of coal?

You Lucky bastard, we were so poor we slept in a hole in the road  .....

You found that hole that I dug to patch up the holes in the wall did you?  Mixed with some red clay the asphault and dirt works a treat!  Do you want to know where I will dig the next one to save the trouble of looking for a good one?  Hate to see people wandering around homeless/holeless!  I already told KSI/Dick so that he could keep his new bike out of it!  Don't want to get it dirty without just cause!

Socialist Swine!! 
Want a job for $2 an hour?  It is what I pay the other hole diggers and you wouldn't want to make them envious if I paid you more would you? 
always plenty of holes to dig!  Someday the world will be one big VMX track!!!  Got to connect the whoop-de-doos you know!!  ;D

Not wrong.
Sounds like a heap of fun. :)
Dare I mention the food  ;D
Yup, Maccas and KFC are shit but you can go to the Chinese restaurants if you want and get world famous Sichuan spicy food (some people recognize Szechuan).

I,me still a bit worried about the food and the place sounds a bit dangerous. ;D

Well, it goes  ;D it was by far and away the fastest four stroke off the line today. Second into the first turn twice but stacked it on the first lap in race one. Good start again in race two but faded towards the end. A good start for a new bike.

Way to go Dick!  Now get your riding up to the level of the bike!!  HA!HA!  The bikes may be old and we may be old but we sure show it more than the bikes do!

I think the level of build quality is in a class of its own, it looks like a factory built it which is unusual in a 4 stroke special. We will be building replicas of it in 20 years time  ;D

I bet Dick didn't use a cold chisel to remove them like Clews did…  ;D

Don't be rude..one day you'll see that even the ugliest of frogs can turn into a handsome prince if you use enough spanners and hacksaw blades. ;)
