LBSs have to earn trust, just like Motorbike and car specialists. If this one give you a duff vibe, find a better one. Its the essence of capitalism. I would give the Manager a chance to explain, as it might solve all ills.

live and let ride

that dog looks really depressed

Is it possible to retrofit blackbox to mission control forks?

Happy Birthday!!!

Guess who I want to put in to room 101

It’s such a shame that somehow typing has bypassed rational thought.

How is that even possible?

[\bored with purile rants]

I used to run a pub. Its not a court of law. I didn’t ban often, and if you banned anyone, it was to all the local pubs.

I did give the person a chance to behave, or apologize, but if that didn’t work, their number was up. simples.

In the old days, before Judys in yellow, and the Explosif, Rock Lobster and P7 were mystical frames from exotic far away places in Unobtainia…
I was chased regularly by Forestry Commission blokes in pick ups across the New Forest (Redlands mostly)

or Troutie spider eyes……in development!!!

I hope you’re on the mend. Sorry to hear such scary news and events…

unless your in Lion, in which case try duplicate

but stay off the motorbikes!

Put up the white flag and rest.

or DBL

very serious

😉

lands end to John o groats, all off road.

How much do you pay? Are you feeling better today?

Strike, take photo’s please…I have some 150s that could do with a service, and an oil change

Flashy, can you mail me, my email is in my profile, I can give you my address to send the lights on to me…once your done melting rabbits, the universe and everything.

It’s the truth, they do look like fir cones!!!

Slimjim,

Just head for Caesars camp, it’s just passed there. Mail me, as I could be persuaded to do a Thursday night ride. All welcome, but if there are too many we could freak out the squirrels!

Oh, and the ninja frogs that pretend to look like fir cones

I would like a trial ride of the Spidereyes light please, oh so want one..

now you’re making me feel really guilty

can still type though?

Skiver 😆

OK, I’ll bite….(I have emailed you) what colours are left?

Is it pre-built or kits that are left?

[EDIT] Thanks for the mail

any left?

just mailed you troutie about Cutie, but also now v interested in Spider eyes.

What news? Can I buy one?

ta

😀

Shame, I tried extra hard to look slim, fast & skilled. Obviously failed on all counts, but its the thought that counts, and on second thoughts a lack of photographic evidence is a good thing!

😆

I’ll keep on investigating options.

My old enduro seems to have a pointy spread, which either leaves foreground dark, or distance dark, so Deer stalker is more guess work than enlightenment at present.

My lights all work, but don’t want the cost of replacing them all, and however compromised the Exposure stuff is, it’s less faff than separate batteries, at least it is in my head.

Ta very much for the assistance.

Did I see a photographer snapping away at us Slow group in the Corkscrew?

Was it one of us?

It’s This little thingy

Damn double bamn damnation

Or

Russa fussa grrrrrrr
👿

Good luck n stuff. Glad to hear it went well 😀

I look forward to the return of Ton to bikes.

Gimme a shout if you’re ever down south. I’d be happy to share trail time, and collectively fight the flab.

Dobo, email me, its in my profile.

What a great afternoon in the sun! I did see some air under some of those tyres, and especially enjoyed the”wheeeeeeee” sound effects coming from behind me on a swoopy bit of trail.

Oh, and much kudos for Phil for organising.

I’d love to catch up with the Alton crew to checkbout your local woods…

I could be persuaded to organise a Winchester ride at some point, if any one is interested?

Since their loss of position, has Labour said anything that wasn’t just whinging about the coalition policies?

I would never go to my boss and say : its broken

I would say: Its broken, and this is what it will cost to fix, or we buy this other one…

if you get my meaning.

Right now all Labour BOIL MY &!$$

What about the M27? That runs to it

There’s some good riding around Dorset, granted it’s no Afan but plenty to do none the less.

eh?

M27 stops in Hampshire about 40 miles from Bridport.

Its a lovely little rural seaside town in the World Heritage zone that is the Jurassic coast. Not farm from where River Cottage and all that stuff is.

Without a car, Bridport may send your wife potty.

or why inner tube air smells of fish

I appreciate that its their land, and have no grudge or axe to grind. Quite the opposite. I don’t want to cause issue or concern. TBH the forces do a sterling job that I made the choice not to do. CCF was as far as it went for me.

MY uncle was a Marine, and I have friends in all of the forces.

The point of my thread was to ask if there was a way to find out if exercises were planned, so I can plan NOT to be there.

On top of that, I also appreciate the choice the MOD made to allow muppets like me on to their land.

It did bring back memories of being demonstrated the effective damage a 303 blank can do at close range 😯

When we got back to my van, we were tempted to go over the other side to Porridgepot, and just as we agreed to go, we heard big BANGS and rapid fire gunshots NOT coming from the ranges 😯

Me thinks they were having a lot of fun last night. Fantastic weather too, warm, temperature inversions with mist in the valleys..

My idea of perfection….erm…. apart from nearly being blown to bits or being shot
