In need of a service i’d think.

Inner freehub bearing. Inner race fubared, bearings chipped and spacer scored.

Axle not to pretty now either.

Still at least i’ve got my happiness and health. 🙂

What part of the country you in now Sharki?

Put it in a jar of oil on your window sill and it will grow a new one.

Snaps. North East Scotland, i thought the spring/summer in Cornwall and Dorset was too hot.
So i’ve migrated north for the winter.

Ah I see, I’ve got loads of odd bearings in me tool box – if you were ‘tocks area you could have helped yourself.

That’s an awfully kind offer mate.

Fortunately, in sight of this year events. I became aware that i’d clearly lost all my bearings, therefore have been restocking. 😉

North East Scotland

care to narrow it down a bit? anywhere near Aberdeen?

therefore have been restocking

So your wearing womens lingerie again then 🙂

That’ll polish out!

Left a bit and up.
Approx 60 miles from Abz.

By the seaside too.

Findhorn?

Hopefully tomorrow night she will be.

😆

Out on the town/village tomorrow night.

Should be interesting mixing my zydertown accent with the locals.

You should inspect your balls regularly to avoid problems that can’t be cured….

Glad you’re out riding lots Sharki.

Awesome…used until it is utterly. utterly fudged, the way to go.

walk that off…you’ll be right.

Not riding enough Chunky, but can’t have all play can i.

That’s my style, ride things to the death.
Replace when it’s proper ****.

Running out of GF’s though.

Please tell me its not Buckie……….

😳

Hah! we have a guy at our work who come from Buckie and I can barely understand him, goodness knows how a southerner can understand the Buckie folk.

Richard at gravity-sports is good should you require bits.

Maybe kaesae will send you a free set to experiment with.

Got a friend from Mosstodloch – he might as well be talking another language sometimes

My mate from Elgin is the same.

I’ve lived in Elgin for 24 years and still struggle to understand the Buckie folk. They speak proper Doric. Sharki I hope I get to meet you before you move on. Are those girls going to take you out on any club rides?

Sharki, I would be more than happy to support you in your attempt to escape ze race of ze rat!

My emails in my profile, I have whole boxes of junk. If you need anything, let me know and I’ll have a good look 😯

If I find anything that you need, I’ll post it out to you!

Ridefree! mate, Kael.

Thanks all. And Kael, YGM

We’ll attack the offending item during the week and attempt resuscitation.

I’m yet to experience Doric at a more personal level, but as i fancy a pint, i’m going to head up the road in a bit for a giggle.

Devs, Roberta and Jo need their racing arses whipped into shape. So i’ll be trying to get them out on the trails for longer than one rotation of the cranks 😉

Out and about trails with them tomorrow.

Tues and thurs are clubs nights aren’t they?
I’ll have words with ladies.

Spot on Sharki. It’ll be fun but hard work out there today. I’ll be out later once I’ve replaced a bottom bracket. I tried singlespeeding yesterday but it was too much like hard work and there is about 3 more inches of resistance out there today.

Sharki is still in his pit so I can only assume he had a good night out 😀

I went to a party with family and couldn’t get a taxi home so I frogmarched my children home a 2.20am in a blizzard! Am I a bad dad? 😀

It’s called character building Devs.

Well that went well.

The first thing i thought when i entered the bar and observed the natives, was that i appeared to on the set of a certain red dwarf episode.

What i mean is that everyone appeared to be talking backwards.

Soon a was approached by a doped up drunk. Norman bought me a dram and told me about his time as a 80’s raver and how he progressed to being a drunk and lover of dope and other drugs.

He staggered and swayed through our conversation as i shared with the reason i was so far north of somerset.

I drank a few pints here and a few more at another bar, then came back as a cover band was playing. I was a little merry and with some good tracks being played there was a people getting their groove on, down on the dance floor..

So i joined them and strut my stuff once more in Moray.

Again as always seemed to be the case when out in bars and clubs. My buff(which i always wear through the winter) was taken and worn by some young attractive girl. Normally i’d recover it during the night, but last night i did not. 🙁

Once the amps were turned off it was time to leave. so i pulled up my hood and went out into the blizzard.
Whilst walking a young lady was to heavy for her boyfriend to carry, so she took advantage of my offer and used me as a prop. (much like jojo the previous w/e)I aided them along the snowy roads as far as i could before having to head back to hairyscarys.

Just before departing the drunken pair, they were joined group, one of which(a girl) asked me where i was from.

I told her Somerset. Her answer was. “Thats in england. In that case i don’t want to talk to you!”

And she walked off.

I walked off laughing to myself, and sad for her ignorance.

All in all, just another random night out for me.

I was woken at about 8am, and we discussed riding.

That’s as far as it went, so i went back to sleep till gone 1pm.

Here’s a video i took whilst out. (well not really but that’s how they talk up here ;))
