Newtek’s Speededit in a VT 5 system.

Di i mention i knew a very very clever man quite high up in a motorsport organization who actually had a spreadsheet costing a relationship lifecycle over 25 years compared to high class call girls

LOL once sat in on a room full of milionaires discussing life dating, women etc..
One drew the conclusion and I quote.
“If it Flys, **** or Floats rent it. It’s cheaper in the long run”! :D

I grew up on Ellsmere Park never had a problem went to school on Wentworth Road loads of nice houses in Eccles have you ever been near Monton sports club?

Swinton, Eccles (some parts), Worsley and Sale all good.

Marin_Maketh_The_Man you must be just down the road from me mate :-)

Same ^ Fasthosts

The only disadvantage I have found is the front seems to washout more readily on very slide prone surfaces E.G wooden boards.

Well I was VERY sceptically about all the market Bullshit about 29ers but after buying a 29er HT (Spesh Carve Comp) I love it cracking bike ideal for my commute, local trail, canal path rides also it’s ideally for miss llama to have a ride on in local parks etc..

I was at fort bill the other week and outside a newspaper shop was a car with 2 Santa Cruse and a Nukeproof on top. The car was an Audi and I still thing all three bikes were worth more than it :-)

I bought my most expensive bike 2nd hand so car had the bigger price at the time of buying.

Gopro 2 WTF does anyone need any one need above HD for home usage? The black is lighter of course and as said above chesty

[Richard Scheider] I think you may need a bigger shed! [\Richard Scheider] :D

TBH Rusty Spanner it WAS a lazy post as I could not be arsed to pin point all the cracking spots around Greater Manchester.

But I had 3 mins to post and thats what I could russle up of the top of my head.

easygirl I would agree, with a massive retail outlet on the door step as well :-)

horse riders much more biker friendly fitter .

:D

I always say hello to horse riders as I was told until the horse hears a human voice some do not know what a bike is and get worried.

And going back to my orginal point are usually nice looking young ladies 8)

Okay
Lived to the west (brought up in Prestwich, Swinton/Worsley) and orginally from here now living in the south Sale.
If you want country side I’d head out either Bolton way or Cheshire direction depending on whether you want hilly or just general open space.

M60 is a car park usually if you work normal hours so any route on your way in is best planning to being on it as little as possible.

Knowing what I do I would avoid basically the right hand side of the city so Failsworth, Droylsden Denton direction.

Close to the city I’d go for Sale, Altrincham(Metrolink save the using the car) Lymm, Hale, Bramhall some parts of Urmston.
Further a field Egerton, Rivington, Turton Bottoms.
NOTE there are good and bad in all areas just the above have lots more good and a little bad :-)

Track Pump, Bike Rack, Hiking Boots, SportsDirect bag with FF helmet, SportsDirect Bag with 2 pairs of trainers for riding plus knee pads.

Small rucksack, shopping bag, 4 inner tubes various sizes, lightboard for bike rack. Sleeping bag, Thermarest mat Oh and a Bag Hide. :D

Nice video mate! :-)
Thats one ride on the todo list. :D

This has to be the best sports event I’ve ever watched. Only been into MTB for a couple of years and caught it now and again last year but watched ever bit of the coverage this year Redbull do a cracking job just hope the TV companies never pick it up.

The main problem I have when driving is two-breast on narrow country lanes HTF am i supposed to get past?

I do a lot of road riding (on the MTB) but even with friends we stay single file I’m sorry but two-breast on narrow country lanes is just being a bloody pain in the back side :evil:

19 miles local Saturday on the HT
Delamere Sunday (12 miles) on the AM quiet early on but looked like it was getting busy when I left.

Duh….!
Bits of bike that when put together creata a new one :-)

Or sod all really how much crap do you want/ need in your home if you have all you need already.

Or cash then tell everyone thakyou very much we used the money for a weekend / week away

If you’re not too snobby

Too true, to be honest if your not after gallery standard colour matching any where with half decent kit will do a “good” job*

*Spoken from the guy with 14 years working in the finishing department of a large commercial photographic lab.

Thats because the LDV is to slow to get involved in a crash

Incorrect, a young lady on her phone wrote it off :roll:

I **** loved that van vastly under powered but bloody brillient for lugging bikes around. And every thing else :-)

Kids’ll love it

The camping or the real ales :D

How about a Mitsi
I’ve used all sorts of 4×4 both work and home best if you have the money is Toyota then Mitsi & Suzuki………… landrover last always something going **** wrong :?

Hilux used to be bullet proof not sure about the new ones used them for years. 1 went 6 months without a starter and required screw driver starting and it still ran like a clock work. :D

29 er hardtail (communting riding locally)
26 AM (140-160 mm travel fork 160 on rear)Everythong else

All
DOWNHILL / FREERIDE
TECHNICAL XC / TRAIL
BRIDLEWAY / NON-TECH XC
ROAD (on a mountain bike that is)
:D

I hate the board walks at Gisburn they go narrow and quiet high at one point if i remember correctly.

What I did was take it very easy going on and aim the front wheel at all the boards sticking up above the normal level thus slowing yourself down without touching the breaks. :-)

But most of the time there **** death traps, I have some on my local ride smooth wood plus green slime came off twice hard twice at weekend and ended up walking across VERY carefully. :roll:

Our summer evening out from work last August miss llama said she would pick me up was not too please when I rang her up at 3 am though :oops:

I apparently I tried it on with one of the girls from production and was going to throw a lad in a canal,I can remember n…o..t..h..i..n..g :wink:

Ok went from Landrover discovery to LDV Pilot to Shogun Sport van was the cheapest

Mine wasn’t it was cheaper just make sure they will honour your NCB as some give you a load of bollocks about different type of vehicles etc etc..

I’ve gone from car to van back to car and kept my NCB running without issue just tell them their talking crap work for me.

IanMunro the bottom line proves we are doing things right and we are very productive :-)

Balls!
I work in the private sector, maufacturing and it’s full on day in day out you take the piss your out the door 2 x 10 min breaks, 30 mins for dinner and early finish on Fridays due to the shorter breaks 4.10pm :-)

But working here is full on from the cleaner on the shop floor to the directors EVERYONE works their arse off no matter what level your at.

Reward for it, is a nice bonus at Christmas( – a % if you have had time off sick).

Derek_starship no Broadoak (just round cornrr from my old local The White Horse ) l think all the schools went there back in the day :-)

Glazebrook Way on Saturday what a bloody let down manage to clock 30 miles on the bike though.

When a map states bridleway then ever sign is for footpath it gets bloody frustrating. Especially when bridges are boarded up as well :roll:

Looks like the baths I went too when in infant school in Swinton. ( – the stained glass) had to shut the pool during winter due to the glass roof keep falling into the pool after bad storms 8O

Did 30 miles on the hardtail today local ride, Philips Park or Delamere tomorrow depending on weather apparently will be very wet :-(

I ride HT and FS and it all depends on the trails IMO

I’ve ridden stuff FAST on the FS that would smash me (important one) and the HT to bits.

On the other hand I did 30 miles this morning on the my 29er HT which was a mix of road, trail, field 8O and it would have felt twice the distance on the FS

Hawk The Slayer Clip linky
You need one of these 1.44 mins in LOL

If you go to ALDI in fact any one in the UK I’ve been too, they are laid out the same no matter where you are. Makes for a very quick, efficient (and cheap shop).

madxela I like your stile 8)

I just throw my water proof gear on the floor and hose it when I do the bike if it gets too stinky, then hang at let dry :D
My Attack trousers commuter / riding in wet weather gear are well into there 2 year now without issue.
