“just how much stick do you get off the kids”
like mr agreeable, they are generally great. most of them are really amused to see someone as old, if not older, than their dad playing around.
the only thing i don’t like, and its just in my head, is having such a trick bike and being so utterly shite. its very levelling when you are struggling to get a chink of daylight under your tyres and some kid on a rusty saracen, with a value of less than 1 of my disc brakes, whips by and effortlessly flies through the air at a speed and altitude i can only dream of.
i am exactly the sort of guy i have been known to pour scorn on, all the gear and no idea!
