I entered the weekly competition on this page and it was announced on Xmas eve I had won £1500 worth of hope products. Over the moon was an understatement.

Features

Grant Fox, or Foxy as he is known, rang me that night. As he asked questions and we talked, I told him what had happened. He went quiet, then told me he would upgrade my prize (against his own rules) to a bike. I started a thread asking opinions on bikes after that.

Told my mum and dad about it, they were really pleased and said they would put £200 towards it if it meant I could get a better bike. Over new years, we were all at Lyanda’s parents and grandparents. Told them too and before I left I was given £250 towards the bike too. Now I had £2000 to play with. Updated that thread with this new info.

For about 1 and a half years, i had been on the bird website on and off speccing up bikes. I went to their website and saw the 120LT. I added just over £300 on my credit card to get the NX eagle spec.

Met Foxy on Thursday in Cardiff to pick it up. It was a pleasure to meet him and his Dad. Had a chat with him about ptsd and men’s mental health, him being ex military too.

Really pleased with it, lovely looking bike. I was made up with the hope prize, but this is just amazing.

Looks brilliant.

Good things happen to good people 🙂

Made up for you gunsmas. As above, foxy sounds like a top bloke.

Bumped into Grant at Friston last year, spoke at length about bikes etc. Really nice guy. Great he helped you with your prize and new bike looks great! Enjoy.

Great news. Genuinely glad to hear that. Hope you can get out on it soon.

karma my man! All the best Gnusmas!

What a lovely way to end the weekend 🙂

Nice on gnusmas – really nice to see you get some luck.

Great bike! Many happy adventures with that gnusmas….!

So, stw ride out this summer?

Excellent news, couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person.

Bike looks ace – I’ve got a Mk1 Aeris and love it to bits.

If you’re ever up in the Peak, shout and I’d be happy to meet up for a ride and a natter.

Si

Thanks all. I met foxy at the MS-RT premises where he was handing over a van and bike to the other competition winner. He is a really nice and genuine bloke.

Matt – summer ride sounds good, should be able to sort something out. Gives me a bit of time to try and get fitter again lol.

A beautiful bike, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine.

What an awesome story and well deserved. I’ve got the same bike in the same colour, you will love it 🙂

Matt – summer ride sounds good, should be able to sort something out. Gives me a bit of time to try and get fitter again lol.

He who has most fun, wins.

We’re in Cardiff area last week of July I think….

When are we riding Gnusmas?

Also matt_oab drop me/us a line when you are in Cardiff, I have some nice local riding for you.

👌

How cool it that! I’v entered a few of his competitions and only hear good things about him.

Grats on the win!

Well I have entered a few of the draws but always been sceptical…having read now the above I will show much support and enter every month.

Molgrips – if you have any dates in mind, let me know and i will try and sort out someone to have the kids.

Russyh – no need to worry, the competitions are 100% legit. The vans are stunning when you see them properly too. And a bit bigger than the gnusmobile 😂

Fantastic mate! Chuffed for you!😀

Awesome! Congrats gnusmas, enjoy it!

Awesome 👍👍

Whoa, just arrived here off the back of the dream bike competition thread. Awesome news! Hope you have many happy times on your new steed and as for Grant, well you are a star. What a lovely gesture. Bog smiles all round and the best thing I’ve seen on here in weeks.

Grant is a very sound bloke, TBH…
I had issue with a Reverb … rather than charge me the whole whack, he charged me for what he thought was wrong….
Plus his knowledge of the SDW around Firle is second to none …

Foxy has just posted it on his Facebook page.

Amazingly good. Just LT’d my own grey 120 after 18 months with it. Test drive on Sunday.

Do enjoy.

Completey made up for you. Well deserved.
I have a Bird TR Zero and love it!

Amazing result, well deserved and great bike choice too 👍

Always seems great competitions Foxy runs and he seems like a great guy.

Wow – only just seen this. By ‘eck you have been on a rollercoaster haven’t you!
