Knee inside the arms????
Scott Reddings an ace little rider, just needs a bit more luck.
Look like Blatas there? or Polinis?

Liam needs to be thinking of getting on the BSB grid in 125's next year then over to Spain for thier national championship if he really wants to progress up the racing ladder to a high level. No point sticking around this country if he wants to make a living out of racing.
Think the bikes in the Midi Cup are Metrakits aren't they?

In all honesty if he wanted to progress he might as well skip the Superteens and go straight to Spain.
But that requires money 
Eitehr that or latch onto Ron Haslam and Leon

I wasn't on about Superteens. I'd skipped that for proper GP125 bikes. Riders like Taylor McKenzie ( the legend Nial Mckenzie's lad) and Dakota Mamola (super legend Randy Mamola's lad) are doing some rounds of the British chamionship aswell as the Spanish championship. They're the ones who Live Lee's cousin needs to be latching onto.
It is expensive but theres more opertunities for sponsorship over in Spain than here. Over here you don't get paid to race at the 'top level' YOU pay.

Ahh sorry with you now. Yeah i've seen Randys son racing, lets hope he's the bride and not the bridesmaid
Yeah Spains where its at as you say, you get paid, not fork £20k per year into it yourself

I used to do this for a while but it is quite expensive to be competitive, so jacked it.

I've got a mini moto Far from race standard though, its a cheap chinese import thing. I doubt it starts, been sat at the back of my uncles barn for at least 2 years now collecting dust.

Had one of those. Crashed it the first time after i'd run it in. How on earth can you highside a mini moto
Few vids on my youtube page as we set out race tracks and had a little bumpy bargey session.
It started dying, I went to throw it in a skip we had at the time. Some local family asked if they could have it so let them

Daimo I want to don leathers and go on the back of your bike before going for cuddles in a field together

You wouldn't fit in leathers.
Besides, you'd be all sweaty. You get ballsacks like Lee Evans on stage. Betty Swollocks indeed.
