How am I changing the mass in the system by having a mesh floor lorry?

for a start air could get out of "the system", displaced by wing flappage etc

I said mass, not weight

I think some people don't comprehend the difference – physics 101 lads

a bit tongue in cheek though I'll admit 😉

just keeping it going really

well, if you're going to bring in mesh lorries etc, then you are changing the mass in the system – stop changing the rules !

there are many Fs in this problem

no there aren't

mass (M) is constant, gravity (a) is constant, so therefore is the "weight" (F)
😉

F=Ma innit
unless you change M or a you ain't affecting F

BS reigns supreme though …

between Housteads and Crag Lough

can't leave it on 99

assuming it's an airtight lorry, it still contains the same amount of air, the same amount of perches, and the same amount of pigeons. They can fly about if they want, makes no difference.

I think the BS of the week thread should run forever !
😉

L twin I hope 😆

Do you defend the wheelying through no mans land and almost hitting someone tho?

of course he doesn't ..

I'm a motorcyclist, weekend warrior if you like

It makes you a better car driver, just like being a cyclist does.

The training received nowadays(and the current test) drill this into you

(sorry MF & Grips, 's true)

However, when I was 17 you just rode round the block twice without falling off to get your licence. Maybe this is where the "born agains" are lacking, as when they come back to the scene they either go HD-type pipe and slippers, or the sportsbike route. It's tempting to push the things beyond your skill level, and in support of that side of the argument I would agree that the modern machine is much more capable than 99% of riders.

But there's an element of truth in what TJ and PP say – some things may look scary to the uninitiated, but that 1% know what they are doing. In the same way that some of the MTB stunts you see look terrifying, but you know obviously that the guys concerned can pull it off – and on your bike too.

The public roads however are no place for scaring people, even if you know what you're doing.

great thread though

yep, 4 of us starting at Les Lindarets, Sunday

outrageous ! (the headshaking, that is …)

should have done him on the inside*

where is this quiet bit of M4 of which you speak ?

but seriously, shaking head – sad, getting annoyed about it – childish

G disclaimer – *I would never do such a thing

Still LOL ing at Mackem … ya c*nt 😉

G. (Toon)

got to be one of the most bizarre threads ever, up there with stuffed badgers

so to summarise, bloke with mtb hobby buys new forks (why is this on the chat forum ?)

mates say "wooo, flashing the cash eh ?"

and this is puzzling how ?

G. (loadsa money) 😉

yeah, cheers for that guys, I'll scope out the usual suspects – I think revelations still come in 9mm/150mm too …

wor, divvent, (more for Drac – it's another language really)

Go Binners !

ill-equipped to comment or pass judgement

fair comment, I'm in the same boat myself, never had much to do with travellers, however ..

The vast majority of them seem to be quite nice really.

I think this opinion is a tad controversial !

😉

are you in favour of their lifestyle though ?

GOAN – yeah, might have been waxing a bit lyrical there … hence the 😉

my money's on her though …

i'm extremely average

my wife however is a fantastic driver – any vehicle, any conditions.

love to see her "compete" somehow, can't be arsed though.

And he's the best left back in the world …

B*st*rd !

just about to start the cutting out ….

which are actually baby spiders growing inside them. The spiders lay the eggs under the skin and then they all come running out. It could be that.

Edit: Well, I'm disappointed to learn that spiders don't do this but flies and other crawlies do. What a let down real life is.

easily the best thing i have ever read on here, Samuri – another gem.

wife ticks all those boxes 'cept job !

a kept woman – LOL

of course, one should NEVER compromise (on anything) – just means no-one gets what they want 😉

just give in – it'll be your turn next ..

(is that "compromising" then, now that I think about it ?)

b*stards, the lot of you …

thinking about buying myself at the mo …

Ducati Monster doing it for me, but also like the look of the Street Triple

want a low seat and high bars – brother in law has a street bob, nice bike.

Suzuki still do those SV650 jobs ?

Sometimes, I think it's just a father and son and man thing.

Christ, tell me about it.

Long gone, I remember holding his hand and crying.

Heart goes out man …

Any Weatherspoons would qualify imho

Tanners is a good boozer, also Cumberland and esp The Tyne.

But the thread's about crap ones !

nowt wrong with the Broken Doll 😉

sadly missed, I think most of the clientele have decamped to the Duke of Northumberland – terrifying

I'm sure I've got an album somewhere (vinyl, 70's) by some mob called the "Sadistic Mika Band"

can't remember whether it's any good 🙂

any relation ?

never forget, your darkest hour is only 60 minutes ..
