Ultra marathon competitors seem to segment their races into mental 'stages' so as not to overwhelm their minds. Try a session with a sports therapist if you're serious about your racing, neuro linguistic programming is a very effetive system.

Mythbusters did a feature on tailgaters, but not the effects on the lead vehicle… interesting thought though.

oops double post, sorry.

Second the fork its a USE one, iirc they don't make them any more?

Quite like the schematic paintjob, reminds me of the BMW touring cars

Buzz I actually like the pics of bikes in scenic locations.

But home movies, really?

I can sort of understand the thought process behind taking a pic of your bike.
The one I don't get is the whole thing of filming yourself and mates out riding. WHY,WHY,WHY?????? You'll never look like The Collective, get a grip – its like home made porn, idea seems good but its avarage unremarkable people grunting and sweating (and no I haven't)!

Crazy Legs, I'm guessing you work at the Velodrome.. we were discussing coming over for a bit of a staff day out from Llandegla.

Round black ones, the kind you'd normally be happiest on.

She could be mean to me any day 😉

Work in the industry so am surrounded by varying degrees of lunacy, to the normo's I speak to they all think we're nuts. The usual remark is 'how much?!!, you could get 10 bikes for that from Toys r Us!'
Even my parents think that at 36 I should find a more responsible passtime ffs.

Morewood Mbuzi. They look real nice and ride just as good apparently, kind of an exclusive Orange Alpine if you will.

Never mind the height issue I'm 6ft4in tall and tave toured on my old one, only needed to stop for fuel. Regret selling my S1 carbed version, my brother had an S2 version and misses that one too!
Had it set up by James Holland it was the equal of a stock 748 Duke on the A5 run!
Totally reliable commuted all year, even in snow on mine the only time it played up was with a bit of carb icing in freezing fog. Fit a hugger and fender extender and scottoiler and you're done.

Saw Doctors, Live in Galway. As close as it get to actually being there.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

It would be nice to do a course in mucking about, ie how to manual, wheelie and endo etc.. 😉

btw Higs I thought you had ninja like skills anyhow!

Always, welcome to the leisure and tourism industry.

We stayed in Treviso, much cheaper and took the train in everyday. Food was awesome! Venice was nice but keep away from the main tourist drags for food and to gain brownie points go to Harry's Bar where the Bellini was invented, but go smartly dressed 😉

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, Empire State of Mind.

Did see a guy at ours on a fully tricked out Socom running Fox40's wearing full Dianese head to toe and a TLD D2 lid, Llandegla has got that gnarr now 😉

Yop idea, less pooball on tv can only be a good thing.

That sent a cold shiver down my back!
One of the veg wholesalers in Covent Garden used to have a hall of fame photo wall of stuff found in produce, ranged from bird eating spiders to scorpions and even a hooded cobra and every bug and creepy crawly that you'd normally see on Discovery Animal Planet.

Erm, am I missing the point here. Aren't the trees a revenue generating crop and thus any supplemental work in the forest should generate an income too?

Still think the daddy of close air support the A1 Skyraider is an outstanding bit of kit.

F-105 Thuds.

Outstanding job for SFB and all that stopped to help the guy, whatever the detractors say!

We have a lot of crashes at our place normally tallying 3 ambulances per weekend, it stuns me the amount of riders that see someone elses misfortune as a blight on their day as they had to slow down to get past or even God forbid that a section of trail be closed due to an accident! Equally shocking is the amount who offer no help whatsoever.

Sorry its a case of unbreaking all the patterns they (and you)build up, had to do it with mine, now going through the fun that is potty training!

Totally agree with geoffj.

Class stw thread, starts with (poor) post about selfish riding and tangents on to Werewolves,Jedi and Zombies 😆

So would it be wrong to get annoyed to find people on the path if I rode down Snowdon at 1pm?

Its the nature of life in the UK that we share our outdoors with other users, the way I see it is we're sharing something fundemenatlly really good and not sitting at home/pub/bookies getting fat.

If it annoys you that much emmirgate to Alaska 😉

Looks like it, doesn't it?

Anyone going to the book signing then?

Some web pages seem to think he owns the Hotel du Vin in Winchester, phantom bookings for a table of 10?

What area would that be, or am I just being thick.

http://www.r-onefourcross.com/products.html these look like huge fun!

I think there was talk of getting one on our demo fleet 😉

Ancient Nissan Primea, its all I can afford.

The guy's a twunt, typified by the fact he's Squirrel's protege.

My geared full suss is gathering dust, I seem to ride my hardtail ss 90percent of the time.

Best colour they do imo. nice bike.

The thing that struck me was how small the cockpit is on them!

Biggest suprise recently is how big a B-2 Spirit is. Living in Chester is funny as we are right under the flightpath for Airbus in Broughton and seeing visitors reaction to the Beluga flying over, its easy to get blase about how big 'n ugly it is.

We were a bit partial to the odd brawl 😉 got sacked from one job for having a punchup during service on a Sat night, shame was the head chef said I was in the right but being the junior member of staff it was me that had to go!

Never met Ton, is he really that big?!
