well I am nowhere good enough to ride down triora at the moment 🙁
I am not even good enough to ride the switch 🙁

nasher it’s not like it’s bone dry in Nice at the moment 😉
Are you thinking of bringing peo and co?

But somehow saying you should wear the best available as a motorcyclist is questioned?!

*/waving TJ card/*
It’s a bit like having a helmet on a cycle… See plenty on here says it’s useless…
It’s my point of view about leather suits. Unless you are on a racetrack I don’t thinkg a leather suit is going to be much more protective when withign the first 10 meter of a fall you’re going to end up under a lorry.
Or down the mountain. I dont think a leather trousers is going to offer you more protection that a kevlar jeans when your leg is going to be trapped between a car and the ground.
*/end of waving TJ card/*

But as for the OP It’s easier to convert summer clothes into winter one than converting winter clothes into summer ones.

Well what protection does a leather offer that a textiel does not when!

you get under a car/lorry?
hit a lamppost/pedestrian fence safetyrail?
get bounced under cars on a motorway?
end up 100 meter lower down the mountain?

I can see how does a leather protects you from being turned into a pizza due to the frictions but I cant see a leather be more protective in the cases above which are saddly what is going to happen to you outside the track.

ok then I was going to say unless you race on track no point in a full leather suit but you said no talks about crashes

If you are paranoid about it dragging jeans. if not cheap and rough jeans will do.
I use some alpinstar ‘trainer like’ shoes fro summer and just a tshirt under my jacket. If it’s really really hot I’ll remove the inside layer. Some light gloves

well if I was a uk tax payer i’d rather have my tax used to improve someone loft rather than to pay thugs with yellow jacket and silver strips on their shoulders.

They’re cut for a rather more traditional British aristocratic build, Juan

Which one fatties? :p

I had to pay with my credit card as they would not take mummy’s card so get charged for it…
thieving basteward
I think the event I am flying for should refund me the charges 😉

Air france is way to expensive, and I can’t ring them at the moment I am at work 🙁

lewin are crap in terms of shape. I have a slim fit shirt one size smaller from the collar and shoulders are a too long and you could fit two like me belly wise. Unless it’s me that has a weird shape but I don’t think so…
Oh and managed to buy a pair of nice jeans 40 in tkmaxx :d

1 no as far as the diameter is ok
2 cant see why as far as you use IS if it’s not centered, a couples of shims on the disk should do
3 Yes

Hope it helps

what where when?

What system you running, Windows ’95?

I think that if it’s a slow one the answer is vista 😉

Yes but plane on sunday is rather early i nthe afternoon.
I wouldn’t want to miss the “race”, but I am not too fuss about the sock wrestling.
Other option would be to come back on the thursday, but that mean I’ll need to have someone to entertain me monday tuesday wednesday 😉

Now don’t take this the wrong way but if you think you know more about bikes than these guys then your either Gary Fisher in disguise or your deluding your self.

LOL jim you now owe me a new screen and keyboard 😉

Commute is 15km to the station then 25 minutes train and then about 5-10 minutes up top the uni
Glass of fruit juice a fruit and a yogurt or a bowl of milk and some cereals and a cup of tea.

Then I usually get some pain sportif at the bakers down the road but I might stop that it’s costing me quite a bit.

Jojo’s shot is exactly what I meant…
OT’s about the best if you are on the small side of the human scale and have a biggish bike

France sucks, not tiem for biking no time for climbing I just miss good old UK to be honest. Weather is crap yes, food is a bit of a struggle yes, but people are way less prone to judge and much nicer…

It’s only natural to ask yourself the question. Girls aren’t interested in me, blokes are and a lot. So I did consider it seriously. However, I found I could not. My former housemate (as gay as they come) try to sell me all of his gay friends because ‘they fancied me’. I even got some ‘offers’ for ‘a ride’ on here was quite funny though.
But if you are looking for someone that like biking just put a wanted add in the classified… That should work.

So short answer is if you fancy her try it… (bloody new keyborad got the tab key where the A use to be on my old one (I know no one cares))

nae I’ll survive, if I can drive the most soopidest car on earth back to safety I can drive or ride anything…
Even an ostrich

caliper is easiest disk is safest
Went for the disk 😉

well if it’s the mono mini (black) it’s 180. If it’s the mini it’s 185 they use a wavy disk. It’s doable to use a 185mm wavy into a 180 mono caliper, it take a little bit of grinding not much just a little bit due to the difference in the depth of the caliper;

what caliper number?
IIRC it’s 160/180/2000 and you may have a 203 as well.

I met fantastic people does that count?
Ho and I replied to a small kid in the car park only to have is mum telling me:
“Are you this crazy french from the forum”…
A star is a star indeed 😉
If that does not do it for you, I did woke up last year with my tent upside down due to the wind…

in the same way the french have that blue army who basicly are sent in to bash the crap out of trouble maker.

I suppose you are talking about the CRS, mostly used to control the crowds (read kick the shit out of the 18 years old female student that protest for their liberty to study)
CRS they are not army they are guess what, coppers… No the most sharpest tool in the box I do concur.
Interestingly one of my acquaintance from Judo ended up as a CRS. First time we invited him at a BBQ he spend the whole eve telling us story about
how he and his team-mates arrested someone, put him in the truck hand cuff him to the rail and bully and scared him buy shouting at him, telling him they will kill him etc etc
how he use to go to funfair and when grab a youngster kick him before releasing him telling him that will teach him a lesson
how they did trash the hotel they stayed in because it wasn’t up to their standard (repairs payed guess by whom the tax payer)
how he could now ride his fancy motorbike up to 250 km/h and when stopped show the cops card and get away with it

He did however wondered why we did not invite him again.

I really cant see anything/one giving me faith back in the cops…

Now that is a thread where I can be of most use 😉
if it’s for a short period of time 5-10 minute having the diagonal tube sitting on my shoulder is fine. If it’s for more 15-55 minutes I usually carry it resting on the rugsac, one hand holding the fork and the other arouns the seat post.

We are talking FS here RM switch. No doubt that a HT or others bikes might have more convenient ways to be carried up.

La soupe au choux.
Will not ring a bell to any of you, that is for the best

LOL at aleigh.
I was single in the UK too you know 😀

Single here I can’t even find someone desperate enough to go out with me lets imagine someone in her right mind doing mtbing…

maybe a firm and polite “I am sorry sir I cannot let you pass” would have been enough?

easygirl from your comment on the G20 thread I think you cant either…

What adam said. When a copper act like a nobhead **** I quite not see the other telling him he/she’s acting like a thug. Plus I think complaining to the police about the police is only gonna get you more trouble, a bit like rudeboy says.

Don’t bother reporting… Waist of time… Where will you have to go for that?
POLICE station so they will cover themselves.

you are right english is a mindfield… As I actually did not made any apologies.

foxy (its very weird to call someone else than FC foxy specially for me) have a go on shecycle if you want to ride with girls. Or as said, post on the bike forum saying yo are on beered belly midle agged men.
But then if you are after a nice fit bloke I am sure you just have to ask on here, plenty will be willing to help, algough I’ll pass as I won’t fit your addiction

2 drives in a raid configuration has failed!

Happened to us… Lost of a Tera bites :(.

We react to threads that are reported to us. aleighs thread was reported to me

On the other hand as mods you should have hd the inteligence to see that the FSB is no worst than the A&A. Both aim to show picture of very good looking member of the other sex. The athletic A in A&A is merely an excuse. I don’t like any but I have enough tolerance to live and let die. People who report threads should have at least the courage/decency not to do it anonymously

Give me a good enough reason to get rid of all these kinds of threads and I’ll happily oblige.

Now that is very tempting… 😉

I do love the ‘tongue in the cheek excuse’ that is very original
