I don't mind him crashing Fords;) but to wreck what looks like a perfectly working example of a Suzuki RL250 is totally wrong!!!

Hi Greg - I've sent you a PM.

I agree with eagle - any old trials bike deserves better treatment than that poor RL.

its like neighbours or home and away when they ask an actor to get in a crappy car or crappy bike you know the show is over for that actor. I must admit I love Captain Risky they should make a series on him.

I wish i'd seen the ad before, would have saved me a few hours of cutting and welding. Might have given the local bus driver a fright though

Have to agree with Eagle - what a waste of a good RL - and it looks like an alloy tank too.
Some of us are still trying to restore these things.
Oh well there is another one to restore.
Anybody know where it is?

It is an insurance ad.

Your RL is progressing nicely.

There is one for sale but the potential new owner denies any knowledge of Captain Risky!
SO MANY QUESTIONS
What is at the bottom of the ramp?
Do you think the Falcon will be Found On Rubbish D um_?
And for my personal favourite because it is backwards: Will the Driver Return On Foot?

Here's a copy of the Ad for anybody who hasn't seen it. Captain Risky is definitely more fun to watch than those Aliens that Budget Direct had on their last ad campaign.
