Well I got up, wondering what to do with myself on my birthday,switched the news on and just sat there stunned,(& sort of thankful that it hadn't happened 2 weeks earlier when my son went up to the top sightseeing)feel terrible for all those lost & everything but the main lingering feeling is that the bastiges stole my sodding birthday.

Rudy Project rydon with photochromic lenses, they're great all the way from sunny days to night rides

ooh one over here please

Well it's been in for a couple of months ( as a top up)you can see where the thorns have been by a slightly moist (i love that word) spot on the tyres after a ride so i've no complaints so far, tyres are Conti mountain kings -rear is proper tubeless tyre and the front is a supersonic with that hot chillie compound (bloke in the shop reckoned I'd never get it to work,red rag to a bull that one)I got the latex from a local art/craft suppliers (hussey & greaves in chelmsford) £11 per litre & I used it without any thickener

your all pussy footing about the bloke'll never get anywhere like that.
Just pull up next to her look her strait in the eye & ask "Do you want to go halves on a bastard"
You'll soon find out if she has a sense of humour (or any concealed weapons)

just had a splurge in i-tunes last night..McGuiness Flint-The Kinks and a dance track from '93 that i thought i'd never hear again called **** Dat by sagat (i just remember first hearing it ee'd up at the Mud club @ Bagleys in Kings Cross aah those were the days

Best top gear I can remember, I've been a fan for years but the silly stunts have been getting beyond stupid

It definitely is possible,probably a few different pathways can get you there but definitely do-able.

all i can remember is late 90s, sea of mud,lots of little white things , Daft Punk. oh and two weeks to recover.

never mind all that,the 125's are on @2.15 bradley smith's 2nd on the grid

Hang on where did those four little stars come from? they just censored an annagram

Well of course when it's t'other way round the yank CEO would be out there scrubbing birds & compensating the locals out of his own pocket, Oh except of course all those (more than 1000 i believe) Indians in Bhopal I think 20 or so yrs ago,, they only paid out a couple of weeks ago and sod all money compared to the what 20 billion or so they want.. bunch of ****

it's his fault he didn't lock the garage

Yes they should,and probably would if there was any oil involved

Had one done about 10 yrs ago HURTS LIKE FFFF. But fun & whatever the piercers (is that a word?) say, TeaTree oil is the thing mine healed in 6-8 weeks

sounds a little heavy on the price (don't know the size of rad' of course) sod the magna'thing and flush your system through then corrosion inhibitor in the system sorts that,and sadly i'm in Essex 900 would make it worth the journey but that's not saving you anything is it.

nice one konabunny

Couldn't sell any of my music, cd's or vinyl even if i'm not particularly listening to it @ the mo'. put it in a box somewhere.

Well living in Essex I'm a bit short on interesting terrain, & as far as lovely singletrack winding through bluebell carpeted woods goes, it's all footpaths & nature reserves (Danbury & little baddow)I was riding through some of them yesterday afternoon,if there is someone walking the dog I/we ease up on the speed & often pull over to let them pass ,say hello & comment on such lovely (or crap) weather,sometimes you hear some tutting & once in a while someone a bit more vocal to which I've suggested that they shouldn't let it spoil their day,,then dropped a couple of gears & shot off as fast as my occasionally jelly legs would take me.as for night rides well then the world is of course your lobster. at the of the day we don't leave any litter about the place or break any fences and we avoid the most sensitive areas when it's likely to be a bit soft & squidgy under foot/tyre so as not to churn it up, and after skimming through this thread I now feel ever so slightly naughty..which i quite like.

Christmas 1968..Johnny seven (one man army)

close family & friends-registry office- bar across the road for a couple of rounds of drinks & some finger food about £200 (6 years ago) and spent what money we did have on a honeymoon in the Maldives, TOP

Bunch of wench's I mean a draw with the US of sodding A ffs

Long may the TT continue, and hopefully with Guys name on at least one of the cups, Get well soon mate.

running about 8.5, It would be nice to be earning some proper money

Oh and Guy Martin (retro looking silver honda & black leathers) races mountain bikes as well to help fitness, can't believe after 100 yrs of the tt ans stopping to put your foot down on entering the pits they change to a pit lane speed limit and Guy Martin falls foul with a 30 second penalty..what a bastige!

I love to watch with the sound turned up for the on bike bits, I do think they're getting a bit carried away with that new slow mo' cam' though

I've got a Fox Flux which seems to have a fair airflow v protection ratio.
and i sweat so freely that my need to replace fluid while riding is severely limited by my need for oxygen

Foot/Uzi Interface…I like that

That was meant to say ..insulating tape under the proper rim tape.

I reckon you need one with a tank attached as it's the initial rush of air that initially gets the tyre bead to seal. just as a tip though if you put extra tape around the rim (i just used insulating tape the proper rim tape)it make the tyre bead tighter thus seals better & then a track pump should do it

Mark King (level 42)

Right I think this is my final post on the subject,we (the rest of the world)need to pull this situation into some kind of sustainable line.
Israel needs to stop expanding (of course they need to hand back a lot),palestine/gaza need more than a postage stamp sized piece of land to stand a chance of building any kind of self sustaining economy .if we stopped blindly supporting israels position it could be one less thing for the islamists of this world to hate us for (I've always liked the view from the moral high ground,may even take the bike up there for the ride back down)
I don't really care about changing any of your minds,it'll make no difference there are a few blokes around the world that could, but they don't give a toss for the views of a plumber from essex. Good luck chaps im of for a ride with the kids

Or anyone elses for that matter

I swear far too much but i certainly wouldn't want my children hearing it

Surely road cycling was pretty much fuelled by amphetemines until at least the mid seventies

I don't,i can afford 1 decent bike (sanderson life & nice bits bolted on)and it goes through the woods,streams & fields of Essex (where i live) and up to the peak district and over to affan. nearly killed me once or twice but the bikes fine,and the forks are 15mm longer than recommended wooo

ooh no

OK just to check..Who on here is suggesting that the isreali's are treating the palestinians fairly ( & yes i do consider it fair for the palistinians to bomb an agressive country who is occupying their country)

Everybody's stopped now i'm back

Yes.
It's just past 8 in the evening,the lupine's charged and I'm going for a ride with me mates. See ya chaps.
