Open flickr account, free one will do, upload pics to there, right click on picture on flick and copy picture URL, post here and hit the IMG button then past the copied image URL.

Do you have an aversion to using spaces after full stops?

Glad to hear the Hummer has received the pimping it deserved. I have to agree that you can't make a post like this without pics :0)

By the way, I was chatting to Scott from T2R yesterday, via facebook. Brought back a load of good memories.

Is this another hypothetical scenario...like taka's wheel return fiasco that turned out to be all in his head...?

Mike just had to be done it looked so forlorn in shabby clothes!!! (space after full stop for rudeboy) Next time you speak to Scott give him my regards and wish him and the rest of the gang a successful season. How's your riding going BTW ?

So you took my advice and got some pro3s, you wont be dissapointed them is spot on. that must have been you I seen in Bikecity earlier in the week, seen the bike in the workstand didnt realise it was you! Perhaps you could come out on the Tuesday night rides soon so we can all have a gander. :mrgreen:

Judderman Tuesday rides sound good . Need to wait for lighter nights (no lights ) and nothing too techy for now . Pete will explain medical condition .

I know about the MC I was in the shop when you were telling pete, dont worry about the tech stuff you obviously hav'nt seen me ride (lol very loudly). I have put a post up on the Bikecity forum about a possible new clamp Hope are doing ( I think) to sort out the positioning with regard shifters etc, I will have to remember where I seen the write up to. By the way technically you should leave 2 spaces after a full stop as my tutor keeps nagging me :0)

Oldfart.

I'm thinking a gentle traverse around the edges of the hills.

How does this sound?

from CPG, ride the drove to triscombe swooping down into greatwood, climbing [i]gently[/i] out to dead womans ditch, bearing right down the roadside singletrack till we pick up the great bear, bimbling down lady's combe and to the grub wagon/pub.

Then back out the easy way.......Dog pound(mostly walkin!) then up and over longstone to Bicknoller post, then traverse the grassy western edge of the hills back to CPG.

Nothing gnarly, nothing technical and mostly smooth and scenic trails.
