Are You Serious?
A few of us in Bromsgrove are motorbike nutters but our latest challenge really takes the "Pizza". We have entered a series of 3 enduro races each 4 hours long on a Honda C90 the winner been the team that covers the most distance.
What is a C90?
You know the guy who delivers your pizza?
You know the tiny phut-phut he rides up on?
That’s a C90.
Tiny engine, hardly any brakes, no suspension worth talking about, puny wheels and made out of cardboard. Perfect for four hours careering round a muddy field, with over-weight, unfit riders on top…
Now we are allowed a to modify the bike but the chassis, the engine and the leg guards must remain standard

What is Fragile X?
Fragile X Syndrome is the most common known cause of inherited learning disability (mental handicap). It occurs in boys and girls and is associated with varying degrees of learning difficulty.
As it is a genetically inherited condition, when one child in a family is diagnosed with fragile X, there are enormous implications for the parents, brothers and sisters of that child and indeed for many other relatives. Both men and women can be carriers of the syndrome and it occurs in all populations and ethnic groups.
In some families, fragile X has been the cause of learning difficulties in relatives through several generations, while in others it can cause problems in only one person.
About the Fragile X Society
The Fragile X Society was formed in 1990 by families whose children have Fragile X Syndrome.
Discovering that your child has fragile X can be a devastating experience. We want families to have the opportunity of support from others who know the problems, and to have access to full information about the syndrome, including the latest medical, psychological and educational research findings. With a fuller understanding of the condition, parents can be far more constructive and effective in helping their children to reach their full potential.
The Society’s Aims are to:
• Provide support, information and friendship to fragile X families from those who share and understand their concerns and needs
• Educate and inform the public and professionals about fragile X in order to raise awareness and understanding of the syndrome and so improve the care of all people affected by fragile X
• Encourage research into all aspects of fragile X and publicise the results
