sprocketjockey you may have hit the nail on the head so ssshhh :wink: havn’t started negotiations yet!!

funnly enough had dog aggro on sat whilst out on a ride coming down hill which is always busy with walkers so going slowly see a dog walker ahead of me (at least 20metres) she hadn’t seen me or my bro who was a little bit behind me called out a cheerie hello to make her awhere of me so she had pleanty of chance to call her dogs(3)back and get them under control oh no she did no more than look up and throw a stick for her dogs to chase in my direction managed to just avoid dogs nearly put myself in a ditch(at least 10mtrs deep) in the process then got really shirty when i had a go at her for not having her dogs under control so advised her next time i’d give the dog/dogs a good kick next time this does seam to be on the increase at the mo :roll:

i’ve just got a TSG substance only had it 2 days but is very comfy and very cool air flow wise,simialar stylewise to Trabec(in my mind anyway)

ordered a new helmet 21:00pm on friday turned up 07:30am thursday morning not bad considering the weekend in the middle of that time scale i think that crc have been a victim of there own success for quite some time now.

ergon grips sorted my prob out bg gloves did help but didn’t compleatly get rid of it for me would deffo recommend ergon grips and spending some time playing with bar postion and angle of brakes and shifters

Brad93 if you can make it a bit further south there is some good riding down in Colchester in the friday wood miltary trainning grounds it’s Mod land that is open to the public deffo better than tunstall/rendalsham if fact it kick it’s ar*e if you do make it down here drop me a line if you want a guided tour(e mail in profile)

Nahhh – tell her they were on B.O.G.O.F – lol :D

out last night managed to avoid rain but could see it coming down and drifting towards us but got round without a soaking was out on sunday and it was the same,it’s become a source of humour on rides recently cause we’ve got a hose pipe ban and it’s done nothing but fu**ing rain since it came in :evil: :|

oops!!! really should proof read before posting :oops:

loum loads of good riding in Colchester so long as you don’t mind a bit of cheeky, flange is forgeting all about friday woods miltary trainning grounds covers about 15/20 odd miles open to the public all year round and as its crown land you can ride any track you want and it kicks tunstalls ars* as far as good riding goes if you ever find yourself round colchester and want a guided tour e mail address is in profile 8)

this sound a bit suss to me couldn’t have been 1945 as the japs were well and truly on the back foot by then and why would yanks be envolved in digging the trench that these “spitfires” were put into?
the dates and info doesn’t tally up also i belive it was commom to blow up/set fire to planes and vehciles if possible during any kind of retreat so something tells me hes going to dig up a load of old tat maybe the odd spare part if hes lucky.

went to sorrento on my honeymoon a few years back caught the train to pompeii very good train journey deffo hat lots of water and 100 euros for the audio guide

:D +1

i don’t get how its got to this stage down there, as i ride on M0D land here in the south east(Essex)and here we have no conflict what so ever and we have the whole of 5th airmobile brigade stationed here(paras,etc) it’s not hard just don’t go anywhere that has red flags or is marked off with tape and if you do accidently stray be polite and leave as quickly as possible simples :-)

opps double post

Gran Conti rosso del molise 2008 riserva 2 bottles of,very nice and going down far to easy :D :wink:

anyone?? please come on someone must have an opinion

fines!! don’t make me laugh got stopped by a park ranger here in colchester i was riding on a legal trail which runs through a ssi tried to say that i wasn’t allowed to ride on the trail i pointed out i was he said that he could seize my bike and fine me i pointed out we were in the middle of nowhere and that i was going to ride off and he could feel free to run after me if he wanted funnily enough didn’t chase after me :wink:

mine turned up wed sitting there all thick and swish on the door mat when i got home from work, still reading it now very good move i think more like some of those upmarket car mag that you see in wh smiths :D 8)

to the op and to yossarian did the same thing about 6years ago kids toys on stairs fell down stairs ankle goes pop and can’t walk hobble off to a&e turns out not only had i torn the tendons from the bone but what i thought was a badly twisted ankle a few years before was in fact a fracture to the socket in the ankle joint which had badly healed allowing my ankle to travel through a greater arc when i feel down the stairs thus doing even more damage cue 6 weeks in an inflatable cast and an ankle that is now weak and still gives me grief from time to time now :(

Me not as far as i know but my dad was in the army in the 60’s and spent a year in Aden so yes he has and he doesn’t talk about it very often and then only when a bit pis*ed

i like a lot 8) well done that man been investigating doing the same thing myself.

glad you got your bikes back and bad play from the police for not at least dishing out a caution but just to let you know for further reference the word “pikey” is a gypsy word for a child abuser so not a good idea to refer to gypsys as pikeys to there faces.
