Are they block paving brick on top of a wall?

The STI shifters are plain wrong like that :roll:

Chords are super important, i remember wasting months trying to learn ahem… Stairway to Heaven, when what i should have been doing is learning open chords.
The chord changes make your hands work as they should, although it'll seem unfeasable at first, stick with it :wink: it took me a year before i could knock out a tune, but i was 40 :|

I haven't drunk properly for years, i have the very occasional whisky, and i can feel the effects after just this the next day :roll:

It took me years of proper drinking to realise i can't handle it and i'm an arse when pissed.

Have a wafty krank, walk round naked etc…

Yes i did it, travelled the world for 6 yrs, but realised the UK was ace and by far the nicest place on the planet for me :wink:

I got bored of the travel in the end, airports aren't as glamourous as i dreamt when i was young…

Do it, it'll probably do you in for a few times if it's a 'proper' class, but stick with it and get competitive :P

Thats lovely, gold bits aplenty and matching brown :P

What handlebars are they?

I met my wife on datingdirect :P been married 2 years :P best thing i ever did :P

I had another long term relationship off the web before her, most people seem genuine, watchoo got to lose?

I watched this last night, can't believe i've never seen it before, quality edge of the seat stuff :P

Just do what feels comfortable :| i raced for a few years and even managed to win a race once with no specific training, just lots of varied riding, like clubber said short efforts make big sense for races.

Remember the pace will up just when you don't want it to and you have to react even if you don't want to or can't so you need to incorporate this into your 'training'.

Chain gangs are great for this :wink:

2 or 3" in Cannock Chase :|

Rad to the power of sick 8)

Jeez that was 15 minutes of my life wasted…

The huggy bit was cringworthy :|

About 2", not a lot really.

Most the roads are clear :P lovely here next to my office radiator.

With BCA auctions you can view online with photos, so i'm armed with a list of 10 vans to look at, and they are all HPI checked by the auction house :lol:

Got to be a winner :wink:

VAN UPDATE

I bought a van yesterday of a friend of a relative, shook hands and was going to take the money and pick it up today. I got home and thought i'd better HPI check it…

Turns out from the mileage report it had done 160k not 60k that the owner thought. it had been round the clock. I genuinely think the guy didn't know, he was gutted he'd been ripped off too.

Just goes to show.

I'm still looking :|

did before i

A bag of pork scratchings usually works :wink:

Whats the song?

Flowerpowered? 8)

I had one and it was superb, small headtubes though :|

Budget is about £5000, i did think i'd get a good un for that but now i'm not sure.

Thanks, i know now how many variations there are, before i looked a tranny was a tranny 8O

Everyone says Vivaro gearboxes are crap, are they really that bad?

I need baskets on my bikes 8)

especially me, but

This lady was in episode 1 as the DCI 8O

Ilike her…

I need an ACME spring….

My eight year old son loves all Looney Tunes, especially Tom and Jerry.

I love Road Runner and Bugs Bunny 8)

Bluff is a long way for a let down, you can even see the aluminium smelters from there :|

The ferry crossing is lovely to the South, try to get to Okarito not many get there its pop approx 5.

Paradise is also isolated and blissful just outside Queenstown, i drove there in a '73 Honda Civic, i really needed a 4×4.

Oamaru is pleasent, i lived there for 6mths, Dunedin is rough and ready but fun, they love the rugby.

Its fine, just seen a big car crash by the German Cemetry though, whilst out on my road bike.

People hanging out of cars and stuff :cry:

@Big John

Not an old wedding ring silly…..

MTFU and split up, you sound like you need to be told right.

I've been there done that, like most blokes on here, i'm now married to my amazing wife, i didn't think women like her existed till i met her.

Marrige and love should feel easy with the right partner, not stressful.

I did it after i rolled off her after making love on a weekend away, i then produced a ring from the bedside drawer and it fitted perfect 8)

I was super smug that day, i borrowed one of her old ring for size 2 weeks before.

Oh i test drove a Cooper s a few mths ago and while fun and nippy the rear space was truly poo.

I've just had a VW Tiguan, totally love it :wink: give me new respect for German cars.

9000 man hours? Jeez they must have drunk lots of tea :|

I used to sleep everynight on my 12 hr shift, i'd have ny cereal about 02:30 and be out like a light by 3 for an hour.

I did it for 5yrs and now my body clock is shagged :roll:

http://www.daily.co.uk is the best i've found, registered one with them this weekend.

Oh and don't let the tuk tuk drivers take you to clothes/jewellery/relgious icon shops, it's a hard sell :evil:
