Global Streetfighters!.......i'll get me coat!

[tj]

The streetfighter scene has gone global! I am well impressed by what I have seen on this site and not only that you have all made me very welcome,Thanks guys!
My aim is to pass on as much info as I can about anything to do with Streetfighters in the U.K. and also learn from other like minded people throughout the world,some of you may already know about the following but for those who dont here goes.......
We have a number of specialist frame builders here in the U.K. the most famous is Spondon and my personal favourite was Martek I say was because sadly they are no longer in business,
If you go to the Google home page,click Images then type in spondon (or if you want martek)you will see pics of some of the best Streetfighters in the world and as an added bonus you can click on the links and open up all kinds of Streetfighter sites.
We have a site over here called www.oldskoolsuzuki.info which is very similar to yours and also we of course have had our 'bible' since 1992- Streetfighters magazine! who incidently have just launched a new site www.streetfightersmag.com
Please let me know your thoughts on this info?
Regards, TJ.

...and your info's a bit out.

Spondon's "Bob" has gone and its part of the Norton Race group,
If your talking UK frames you should have said GIA.

At least you didnt mention the useless tosser's at JMC.

As Russ said, most of the guy's on here are pretty clued-up,
including lots of Pommies and a couple of Spondon owners.

Sorry if ive offended anyone with this post,it was never my intention to come over as a 'know it all' but on reflection
maybe it was not a good idea,I was only trying to be helpful
though.

No a chance, you'll have to try much harder than that.
Some of the Butt-Monkeys on here have it down to an art form...;)


If you spot anything new post it up,
Hang around a while and apart from all piss taking and shit stirring,
you'll see the guy's are fairly on the ball.

If your a fan of the <s>Bible</s> Comic you'll have noticed how many Aussie and ASF
members and bikes are getting in there.

Welcome.

I love JMC arm's, had a couple, would like one on any of
my current bikes. The product is great. Its just the useless
tossers who have no respect, interest or loyalty to the customer
who keep them in buisseness.

Going by threads on here, Old Skool and elsewhere im not alone.

Talking of Pommie company's, saw this about Dymag....

"Dymag Racing UK has entered into a Chapter 11 situation and is under bank administration at this time. The bank has decreed that all orders in the system and all new orders will fall under new pricing set by the bank the price increase is 35% on Automobile wheels and 20% on Motorcycle wheels across the board.

Dymag will continue to take orders under the new price schedule but will not honor any old pricing. Please let your customers know if they have been considering a set that you will need a new quote to move forward.

I apologize for the increase and problems but it is out of my hands.

Please feel free to contact Dymag direct to confirm and ask for: Simon Rowe

Joint Administrator

A lad I used to work with put a ZRX front end on his Z1 Kawasaki and ordered an arm from JMC to take a ZRX rear wheel,he waited the best part of a year for it and then it didnt fit!

I bought an exhaust from Quill last year. Took my money and 8 months later I got an exhaust close to what I ordered. At one stage they had sent it to the wrong address in a different country and when I contacted them they didn't give a fuck, they had my money.

Will never deal with them again and will advise very strongly for everyone to stay away from them. Turns out the exhausts are very average anyway, the workmanship on mine was sub standard and it took quite a bit of time to get it to fit. Fuckwits..
