Hi, my name is Joe and im 22 (God I feel old). I started riding trials when I was 13, I went out and brought tricks and stunts on vhs (Not DVD) and thought, yep, thats me, im the next martin ashton. I stated out on a DMR Trailstar (I still have the bike, but its changed appearence a couple of times). I always wanted a Pashley 26 mhz and one Christmas my dad took me to mclaines cycles in wolverhampton to buy one. They did not have any in stock, but offered me a orange zero at the right money, well, I could not resist being christmas. I already had all the parts to build it all, the best part were the forks which were USE TFI's (If anyone remembers them) and they had the pashley P laser cnc'd in the top, yet my mates had use on top??? I later found out that they were ex-demo ones used by eddie tounge. Anyway they broke, and I had replacement ones, sadly, missing the pashley P. Years later, the orange zero had a make over, the frame got a new powder coat, new orange forks, all chris king parts, hope disks, middle burn cranks, all top spec at the time. It now sits in my garage, unridden after only three weeks of use. The reason, I turned 18, and got myself a new polo, then the riding stoped....... Since then vw's have been my hobby, im building a vw mk2 golf with a 20v turbo engine with a big turbo, around the 400bhp when its finished. However, Im going back to old skool and im starting to ride again. Ive dusted off the orange and the feelings still there, I fell like im 16 again, pretending im Eddie tounge. But I want a pashley in my life, I know they stoped making them ages ago, but if anyone has one for sale, let me know, just want to live the dream of having my own pashley. My other hobbys are colecting LP's, A tribe called quest, old jazz, anything that Gilles Peterson plays is my cup of tea. Also I have a 1962 Lambretta which is being restored. I work in a steel fabrication factory, welding, etc so its all good!!!!! Once again, my name is Joe, and its nice to be here.
