Amidst the relentless downpour and the unforgiving terrain of Honiton's MX track, Paul Andrews, a seasoned racer, found himself battling not just the competition, but also the elements on his borrowed 24MX4.

“A bit of a struggle," Paul recounts, a hint of adrenaline still lingering in his voice. "The mud was relentless. I even had to call for a tow just to get out of the car park!"

Behind the scenes, Paul's Greeves 24MX4, faced its own set of challenges. "Teething problems," Paul shrugs, a faint smile playing on his lips, “but nothing we can't handle."

Front brakes that refused to cooperate on steep descents, a fractured exhaust threatening to dampen the roar of the engine, and an oversized back tire clogging up the works, but for Paul they were merely hurdles to be overcome.

"Thankfully," Paul adds, a note of gratitude in his tone, Britishbikes1970.com had our backs." New brakes and control cables arriving to tame the wild descents, a repaired exhaust to restore the engine's symphony, and the right sized back tire (100x100) to keep the momentum rolling – all just a click away at Britishbikes1970.com
