I agree with Dicki, you twats! I'll never be back on this forum again, being treated like a fucken child! Piss off, all of yous wankers!

Haha, I just used up all my british swearing. Well, almost!

I'm glad people prefer my break down of NOS and NJS i genuinely thought that's what it meant!

Japanese circling bike

I am going to refer to all track bikes as Circling Bikes for now on. Makes them sound like sharks, or fighter planes.

Hi mates, maybe a fools question, but what does NJS meen?

Google is your friend. Your special friend if you don't want to get burnt here.

This is all.

Nice Japanese Stuff...

Hi mates, maybe a fools question, but what does NJS meen?

Hover your mouse over NJS in your post and it shows you.

i googled it and the second hit was the wikipedia page for Keirn:

"Nihon Jitensha Shinkōkai (NJS; also known in English as the Japanese Keirin Association)"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keirin

Next time, google it yourself.
