Not read all the thread/comments but the main thing is your family, you have them to support you no matter what happens and there is always a way forward, try not worry too much, something will turn up, it always does!

Good luck!

Last night! Chicka Chicka Yeah 😆

The Republic will rise again – Hoorah 🙄

I’d buy that for a dollar! (Second one that is)

Always keep the gun open when not shooting. Never cross the barrels over anyone,even if the gun is empty and open (good practice). Relax and enjoy!

My mate had Spirit in the Sky (Norman Greenbaum version), the church was absolutely packed, the look on everyone’s faces! He’d told me a few months earlier in what I thought was a bit of a morbid conversation at the time that that was the song he wanted!

Northern monkeys, although it’s a little cliquey, so nothing like on here 😀

Jack Daniels Single Barrel isn’t bad either!

I too suffered from overly moist eyes whilst watching Dances with Wolves 🙁

😆

Worst – brother turned into a thieving coke addict and caused a lot of heart ache for the family.

Best – I got back into mountain biking and loving it!

The problem is these kind of organisations are run by busy body Noris types who were often taken to the potting shed when they were younger and will do anything to get one over anyone that dares defy them!

I went a couple years back, we did 4 nights and saw all the big stuff but you could just as easily go for 6 weeks and still not see everything, most amazing city ever!

^^ this reminds me of an episode when my grandparents kept having their milk stolen, every second day they had two bottles delivered and after a while one bottle regularly started going missing, so my grandad got up extra early and waited for the delivery, low and behold 20 mins later some chav came and helped himself and proceeded to peel the lid and slurp it down as he walked down the street under the cover of darkness (it was winter), no doubt feeling smug. Now my grandad didnt intervene cos he had a plan, he took a couple of bottles of milk and kept it till it was nice and rancid then one morning after the milkman had been he quickly swapped the bottles then went and watched from the bedroom window, regular as clockwork the chav appeared, quickly grabbing the bottle and walking off. I can still hear the joy in my grandads voice as told us how the chav peeled the lid and took a swig, spat the chunks out then proceeded to violently throw up!

They never had their milk stolen again.

^^ make sure you gopro it , I think we’d all like to see that 😆

Grizedale forest yesterday, went over the bars off one of the boardwalks head first into a bog, in all the way to my chest, a sobering experience to finish the year 🙂

Amazing

I forgot to say that I was looking at xt.

Tube8 😆

I’m already running 1×9 but wouldn’t mind changing to 1×10, I was looking earlier and Rosebike had some decent prices, defo cheaper than CRC.

Couldn’t make the last one but defo up for the next!

I wouldn’t mind doing a few night rides if people don’t mind me tagging along?

Worse than that I’m afraid, I’m not going to be able to use it for a very long time and would hate to see it not get used :/

Ah Shawshank…….say no more 🙂

Other half got me an Endura mt500 jacket, Evoc Pac, bobble hat, and I treated myself to a Renthal duo stem!

Jim Beam Red Stag

Id be interested to know also as im planning a trip tomorrow as well!

The best mini I ever saw was at a run wot u brung, a lad turned up with an old school mini powered by 2 Yamaha R1 motors, one upfront and one in the back but synced together, 0-60 in 2 seconds, all I can say is that it looked fun!

Girlfriend still doesn’t believe me when I say that 😆

I usually wear a pair of trousers that I’ve cut pockets out of, you should see the look on their faces 🙂

No, i kissed the tarmac yesterday, a nice xc pootle then 4 laps at Stainburn, happy days on way home then crash, bounced down the road, hurt like he’ll and somehow managed to rip the back wheel out?? Sore this morning but I’ll live 🙂

Count me in.

Thanks for all the replies, it’s definitely given me some ideas! She loves the flower rotors lol

Purdy

Brakes, I’ll get your coat for you 😉

For the love of god, put it on the big ring up front and small ring at the back if your gonna show it off 🙄

Nice bike by the way 🙂

What maccruiskeen said but I would then go and take a shit on his car bonnet to show him who’s boss! 😆

The Shining

Maccruiskeen-

Having disturbed burglars in my house I can vouch for being polite and obliging. Despite being outnumbered 3:1 you can just stand there and watch 3 people bounce off the walls with obsolete terror, and trying to escape by opening doors and running into cupboards. If one of them could have gotten the window open he’d have jumped two stories onto spiked railings to get out. Completely blinded by fear. I just stood there with my arms folded and said nothing.

Question is, were you just wearing crotchless leather hot pants and a smile at the time?? 😯

I’ve just done this myself on my hardtail, I used an E13 Lg1 guide and Renthal SR4 chainring, I used the iscg 05 type with BB adaptor as my bike doesn’t have tabs on and wanted to be able to swap it in the future if the need arose to a frame with tabs. To be be honest I found it to be a bit of a pig to align everything correctly but it’s been worth it. I’ll try my best to upload a photo!

How do fettler!

Rusty, I like the cut of your jib, you speak with wisdom and I salute you! 😀

For me a dash of Jalapeño Tabasco works with anything
