If you win All you have to remember is second place is first place for loosers and make sure everyone else knows this.I am sick of hearing that its not about the winning its about the taking part, this just enfforces lazy people to put minimum effort in and get buy.

Having read the book I thought the guy was a doosh, If I was one of his friends there is now way i would go any ware with him he’s a liability to him self and anyone around him. I swore i wouldn’t watch the film, but one damp evening i found myself stuck between A rack and a hard place (my Missis and her mother) one with the remote the other insisting i spend time with them. they put it on, i cried a little then contemplated drinking my own wee to see if it would make me hallucinate.

I[m not going to my brother in laws stag for severalreasons.

1. Its inmunich and way to expensive
2. his mates are all dicks
3. there just getting pissed for the weekend and im not that kind of guy anymore.
4. I’d rather be biking or kayaking,which i will be doing before there wedding too.
5.even though my sister is my twin we ar not close at all soi dont feel bad.

Aldi stero’s 50quid fit straight in single din, usb, aux cd radio and bluethooth.

what more could you ask for.

Well the calculator says £500 bike would end up costing around £340, with
12 payments of £28.33p where does the final payment come in to it.the point of going for the bike to work scheme is i cant affored to buy one outright.

My highlight was Skipton to Keighley really enjoyed the off road track.

we raised money for families against nuroblastoma. between 3 of us we raised around £1000 and the other half the group raised around the same for great ormand street hopital. both of the funds raised are being matched by the company’s we work for.

Just in case anyone was woundering, We completed the canal today totaling around 17 hours in the saddle, we made a few wrong turns i burnly and a few revers trips to pick up stranglers, some of us totaled around 147 miles. we did it over 3 days however we were allusing mountain bikes with nobbly tyres and may of the group hadn’t been on a bike for several years.

If you are the GP from Barnoldswick who gave us directions Thank you and hope you got your strava section back.

might be wrong on the fly wheel but the rest still stands.

I had a astra and had nothing but issues with it mechanicaly and electrical. my local garage runs a 1.6 astra petrol same engine and transmission as the zefira and the only reason he has it as he has so many issues and poor fule economy that he wont sell it to a valued customer.

I am fully converted to the never buying a VX Again, as i had mine replaced 3 times,and had the same issues with all 3

Clutch, dual mass fly wheel,and gear box are not covered by warranty. and are made of cheese.

I agree that in some places this is essential but accidents do happen, why not clear things right up and make it a yellow hatched box.

However the cyclist v’s motorist debate is getting boring now,not all car/van/truck drivers are out to get us, and accidents do happen. IF we want to enforce the highway code to the word we need to start setting an example too.

I was out with a group the other day and very few signaled in traffic, even less gave time for manovours and i saw a few cars cut up then the cyclists get arsey with the motorist. and the unwillingness of a lot of cyclist especially on Yorkshire’s b roads to unbuch creating room is ridiculous.

I wont be riding with that group again.

Nice comfortable cars, reliable, until something goes wrong then you get a horrendous bill.

Some silly designs that add nothing but dust tray and relatively unusable space. and the boot space is disappointing at best.

The only up side over buying a much cheaper focus was it looks better.

Test drove several ranging from the 1.6 Diesel to the 2.5 t5 petrol. and guess what except for The T5 the were boring,we now have the t5 sat on our drive.

To explain my earlier Post.

I was pulled over for a check as car was apparently Not insured, It was a new car and the weekend, I showed all documents and all was fine. they looked around my car. And told me the bikes were at risk of damaging a window and they were classing this as an insecure load.

I tried to explain they were tied down and couldn’t move but the officer said that it wasn’t his place to decide and that I would have to go to the police station with the producer.

In the end it wasn’t worth the hassel arguing it and only put my insurance up but £3.

Globatti, I got 3 points on my license and a £120 fine for an insacure load, I had 4 bikes stacked upin the boot of my estateand then straped tothe fixing points.

Bencooper, when metal is dropped it does different things, alloy tends to crack, steel tends to bend. This is caused by the way the molicules move within the density of the metirial. Its not always visible. (I’m with you though i’d ride it,but i have a cracked chain stay on one of my bikes i’ve been riding for 3 years now.)

I’m 25 and thought it was a terrible film turned it of halfway through.

My LBS used to to similar stuff,and they closed down.

I was also loyal to them for years and never even got a jaffa cake even when i had suplied my fair share.

But on the argument of Buying online then taking to the local bike shop,What if i buy it In one shop (say in glentress on holiday) then go to MY LBS to fit it. Surely this is the same as buying online in the eyes of the shop.

PS, I buy on line for everything now, for several reasons.
1. Its Cheaper
2. All my parts are home serviceable (used to be a mechanic)
3. My Newlocal bike shop have all the staff frommy old LBS exceptthe owner.

why don’t you get the owner to put tax on it and give him the money.

I have driven a 2l diesel fora year and a half now as i do around 20000 miles a year, its now for sale and im looking at a petrol again, i do around 50% motor way 40% urban and althought the motorway miles i get 60mpg my urban half that and i was better of in my old 1.6 306, parts seem to be cheaper for petrol cars and they seem to be easier to work on your self, plus as i’m not towing anything anymore i don’t need the torque low down.

So been to the police Station with all documents, all documents checked, again MOT comes back as unregistered.

1 phone call to Vosa says it is registered, and then redirected to DVLA for vehicle registration and there records, they say they cannot cax it as there is no MOT,so the error seems to be between vosa and DVLA, to which i am told it is my responsibility to sort and to come back with in 21 days.

To which I ask if VOSA say it has an MOT surely that’s the end of it. To which I’m then told I have 21 days to produce evidence that my car is legaly registered and MOT’d.which is what I though I had done. Very Frustrating.

Yes but my local police station is 18 miles away, and no free parking,ca i claim costs when it is found to be real. Or do i get a taxrefund and apologie for wasting my time

Surley they would have something better to do.

Complete waste of time IMO

The question is if they have seen all documents why would they need to see them again.

I has a MOT as i have a certificate but it doesn’t show up on the system. How is this my fault now that it is all automated.

Not a clue, It basically says all my documents which i had today.

If they cant separate the clothes just bung them in and turn on.

Can someone explain what the need for all the numbers is, even when mymum did my washing and my now missis they use the same setting for everything and just adjust the heat.

3 easy care,

30 degrees

unless my stuffs in it when it goes to nucular.

What are the other 13 settings for.

Choose a shot gun and hope it spreads enough

Having played rugby union and rugby league, both to relativity high level first division uni (not that that’s very high) I would say that playing a full game of league is much harder on the body endurance wise and from tackles they seem so much harder when running full pelt into someone.

Zulu I have requested this several times and made sure it has been recorded, I also will always get a upper management member to sign off my work, so it cannot back fire on me, But it would be nice to get the credit myself.

But well pointed out I had never thought that that could back fire on me.

Ride faster the friction will create heat, stopping it from freezing.

Wet lubed seemed to work for me and plenty of it.

TurnerGuy I take your point and said I would try from now on, That does not mean it will be perfect. It means exactly what the word try means.

Bregante I don’t work for Uk Bike Store

Some interesting Idea’s I would be more than happy to do the work and take full responsibility for the work without a pay rise, the issue is the contract, the Job description and compulsory training that comes with this, that I am not currently getting, yet being expected to do the samework.

You are correct on the spelling and grammar front, never been my strong point. However i will try my best from now on.

Luckily It isn’t part of my Job or the next position up.

Personaly i thought i was a bit rubbish, built up and built up by the media,and thats what they pull off.

I was not entertained.

Could you not go to an out door shop with it.

buy a clip that fits and some webbing and make your own extension

I once bought a frame on here for £150, it was a dud, shox got tf tuned and bearings replaced, tried selling it on here for a little more as it was in mechanical better condition and got called upon it. I had proof of work done too.

Shimano SH51 SPD Cleats are single direction release cleats.

Getting suspension oil on my trousers and not being able to wash it out. (solutions welcomed)
Solution = take them to your mums she’ll know what to do,
I get some detergant dilute with a litlebit of water and rub in leave for a wile and then wash.

or LoCo is offering as below.

LoCo
Teflon action slacks?

or send them to us.

So he’s willing to do your washing to.

The pay is rubbish, the parts are over priced, there is a clique to belong to, nothing fits together (shimano, sram etc) Cloathing is sub standard with a few exception, and servicing is a right Rip of everyone should learn to do it them selfs.

But if you know some one who does NDT and has the kit but works else where they may be willing to do it for you, I had my old Dh bike tested when the rack fell of a friends car at 70mph it was fineif a little battered, test cost me nothing(but my brother does this,unfortunaty he works on oil rigs and has moved all his kit out there)

I live in upper denby, the school is closed yet the attachment area for the school is upper denby/lower denby. 1 mile. In summer you see the parents droping there kids at school one even drives less than 20meters (they live next door) in a range rover sport over finch every day.

however not one of the teachers lives local, the only caterer that lives local is my mother, and the main road wasn’t plowed or gritted till around 2 hours ago.we had around afoot of snow,last night on top of 10 inches the day/night before.

I dont blame anyone who deosn’t want to risk damaging there car in this weather or themself for not going out after all have you seen the price of insurance.

This is a pickle isn’t it
maybe store on there side this way you get best of both worlds.

Not sure about now but it used to recomend storing them upside down.
