How do you make your living? I am a RAF Movements Controller. Basicly i load and unload all millitary transport aitcraft and charter aircraft (inc Antonov 124 :D) with passengers, cargo, mail and weapons. The unit i am on now travels with each aircraft in small teams to wherever they go in the world ( Las Vegas, Canada, Malasia, Afgan, Iraq etc)to facillitate the load/unloading. I also have been taught to do the weight and ballance of the aircraft. I can run a Passenger terminal from passenger walking in the door to getting on the plane.

Are you happy doing it?Yes.

Would you considering a change of career?I have just entered my last 2 years of service 697 days left. If i dont get promoted i will be forced out but want to stay at the moment.

Does it pay enough for you to mtb comfortably? Used to, not now we have a baby on the way, due in 3 months!

Me and the Mrs love it, nither of up fish! As said good adventure program

testing my phone : please ignore

If i dont ignore will i die?

Beavers.

End.

Norco Range! maybe the 650B one if thats your thing!

I have the xt trail caged spd’s they work for me because when I’m not on the trail I cycle to work on them just in boots. Saves changing pedals mid week.

yes, we get issued snugpak in the RAF, they are ok and do the job but i borght a buffalo because they are lighter and thinner IMO and look better! 😀

The Check Inn at Wroughton is nearby and serves pretty good Fuller’s beer and Thai Food

good call, the check inn is a a realy nice pup used to stop there often when i lived in swindon/Lyneham

the snow cleaned mine the other week!

FFS!

just my 2p worth FFS

Military.

Free housing, good wage, free holidays in the sun!

Worked for me!

WIN!

Already set to record!

chaos engine . . .

did some beef in there the other week was gorgeous. went out straight after and left the leftovers in the pot (turned off) a week later could smell something in the kitchen . . . .

anyone?

Nope, it’s a Gerber. Much better imo than a leatherman

I just have a neoguard and front crud catcher because I dont ride with glasses

Only 1 door and no locks (on the bike)

But they first have to get onto an RAF base with armed security 🙂

I’ve got a kit of the Horton flying-wing jet that I’ve yet to build. Must get started on it sometime…

Now that is a cool plane

Wouldn’t be wandering off the roads down there to find single track, too many landmines. No joke,

Also might run over a penguin!

Another vote for the “knolly chilcotin”

What’s the spec of the bike above? Any links?

Call of duty! And 200sx’s. Currently dropping a skyline engine in mine

Cool, I think I like the endorphin the most on looks,

i would love to spunk a wad of cash on the knolly but its right at the peak if not over my price range, and i dont know if i would be able to justify it . . . .

I love ugly bikes! 😀

In the knolly site blurb it says the bike is built to handle the north shore trails and is actully faily low maintinence . . . . . .Hmmmm

forget the civic, get an integra Type-R (DC2 not DC5)

fast, good hard vtec kick ( and tyre chirp 2nd to 3rd if your pushing it) corners better than ANY other honda (except maybe the nsx)and you can fit 3 bikes and riding kit in it with the seats down!

EDIT- also rear seats usable for adults!

more snow ahead!
bike ride sunday,
bike ride monday,
possible hospital visit 😀

billytinkle – Pinocchio.

HAHA thats what i was gonna put!

nissan 200SX s14.

2.0 ltr Turbo, Coupe, RWD[/u], faster than people think!

this therory works upon the princables that toast always lands butter side down and that cats always land on their feet. what you do is strap 4 peices of toast butterside up to the cats feet this means that the toast cannot land on its butter side and the cat cannot land on its back so you get levitation now wrap the cat in a thin layer of copper wire and place between two magnets and you have an unlimited frictionless supply of energy.

ill get my coat

i got a 2.4 V6 Audi A4 Avant for £500 on ebay!

best family car ever! Dog, kids, bags and bike = Done!

EDIT- Missed the economical bit, only does 30MPG but its better than the 9mpg of Skyline powered 200sx

i just roll or ride mine up the ramp of a Hercules or C17 and put one strap over it to stop it falling over lent against the wall. then when we get to wherever just ride it off 🙂

love being in the RAF.

I work as a mover (read: part of my job is to handle baggage on RAF transport planes)and have moved/loaded many bikes in bags and boxes to aircraft. I would have to agree that bikes that are less protected or more visable are without thinking handled with more care. For example not having cases stacked on top of them.

you have to remember that un-cycling types that load planes just see a bag/box not a bike and thats another reason IMO to keep the bike visable like the one in the poly bag above.

sounds like i need to bleed my brakes this week as i have never done them in the 2 years i have had my bike! 😉

Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

their going to pump it out not pan it 😉 ……

What happend fella? working or walking?

am i right in thinking that the bigger wheels will eliminate or at least reduce the pedal strike issue of the 26? (this being the main reason i didnt get a 26 a few months ago and am still in the market! for a FS)

Educate me 🙂

Worst.outfit.ever.

What’s wrong with it lol?

Hi barbs, I am looking at a 2012, was getting worried when people were saying that stuff because I have herd nothing but good from all reviews and riders. Just need to hurry up and do my 4 months in afgan then get one when I return!

Have a look at the “knolly podium” not sure on price tho
