var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true}; OK here is the start of my eldest lads project thread
He is wanting to do motor mechanics technicians course at college when he leaves school this year, so to help give him a bit more of an understanding of all things petrol ands also to help with his transportation issues in getting to college, we have got him an Aprila SR50 ped, it's in pieces at the moment but hopefully in the next couple of months he should have a running bike with MOT that he can either sell on to help fund another bike or use himself, in true yorkshire fasion the  transaction was carried out usint barter and as my mate didn't have change for a ferrit the bike cost me the cost of his cat being neutered :thumbsup:
(THIS IS TRUE THE BIKE DID COST ME THE COST OF HIS CAT GETTIN THE SNIP)

For the record my first road bike cost me £25 and was transported home in the boot of a car :thumbsup:
