Title: Ways around missing riding, know of any?
Post by: gpnewhouse7 on October 02, 2012, 05:49:09 PM
Since turning 17 I have been forced to sell my crosser in order to help buy and insure a car (08 corsa 1.2 16v). However after selling my pride and joy I'm missing that thrill/buzz I used to get from riding and its going to be a while before I can afford a bike again when all I earn is £40 a week and that has my petrol and food costs to cover before anything can be saved. Anyone know of any ways of getting around missing it so much? Iv tried Xbox but all the games are shit.

When I busted my foot I had to take a couple weeks off (doctor said months but I'm a bad listener). I watched a lot of races on youtube, because two strokes don't play on tv anymore where I live, and foopercross didn't do it for me. I honestly wasn't able to find a complete substitute for riding unfortunately...

I've done downhill mountainbiking since I raced 85s but you just don't get the same buzz that you get from motocross.

Buy an old bike and restore it in your spare time.

They're just so expensive are the bikes in England though. Even complete basket cases will often sell for £500 or more its just ridiculous.

When I was in your position I picked up an ancient Hodaka Wombat 125 for $40 and had a hoot restoring and putting around on it! I then traded the Hodie for a 1981 Maico MC250 which I still have in my collection.

What's a Hodaka? Is that an old big brand like Bultaco or is it just a cheap chinese brand like Hyosung?

Thinking about it I might be able to trade my mountain bike for a KMX 125 but I'm not sure yet.

Well Ive heard of Maico and Bultaco and BSA and most of the other old brands but I can't say Ive ever heard of a Hodaka. Were they any good?
