He didn’t even pull out the big “Don’t you know who I am?” card

As a truck driver sat on my lofty perch I’m still amazed how many people I see masterbating whilst driving.

I’ve a Genesis Longditude which I’ve named (Long Distance) Clara. I sometimes even make the pigeon noises when I’m really blowing on a climb

I’ve had a good year out of a pair of 5:10 Camp Fours dead comfy and always ready. I like the looks of some of the Haglofs approach shoes as well as the Scarpa Mojito shoes but not tried them. Merrell Chameleons never last me much more than 6-8 months

Art shoes are lovely if you can walk the walk. They’re quirky and indeed chunky but ultra comfy and built like little leather shithouses. I’ve had pairs of art shoes and boots that have lasted 15+ years of pubs, clubs, festivals, harvests and building sites. They’re shoes for life

Without meaning to insult but is the mounting bracket the right way around? I hope you get it sorted, they’re lovely brakes

The White Stripes, Jolene. I was there man, I was freakin there

Barrat Homes appear to have halted construction on several sites that we deliver blocks n bricks etc to….. Might be half Brexit half end of the month slow down.

+1 for the Zymes. I’ve had a pair for years, 4-5 maybe and they’re still solid.
I’ve also recently picked up a pair of Intrepid Apparel’s shorts and the build quality and comfort seem very good. I’ve done uplift days and a 52 mile drove road slog with no ill effects.

I recall going to use public showers in a motorway services to be greeted with a sign asking people to PLEASE DON’T DEFECATE IN THE SHOWERS in serveral languages. Like people need to be told!!

I wish I hadn’t started reading this at tea time. That said Cougar nails it!

I run one of these on my Mega fitted with a Reverb

And one of these on my Genesis.

Both fit everything you need for a couple of hours riding, are waterproof and don’t foul up the dropper. Actually the Alpkit one might not be waterproof but the Ortlieb one definitely is.

If my work mate is anything to go by…..liver and onions produces an aroma not to different to that of dogshit-on-shoe

i kinda feel it needs wheels and a tow hitch

My penknife.
It’s an old plastic handled hook nosed no name piece that my dad gave me when I was about 12-14. It holds its edge well and I probably carry it places I shouldn’t. I’ve lost it, found it, cut myself badly with it. I’ve trimmed hooves, skinned rabbits and deer with it, cut seat belts and made bows spears and catapults with it. I wonder how I feel if I ever did lose it properly. Maybe I’d just always expect it to turn up again.

The Moulin Rouge is great fun.

Its happened to me too.

Pah! You lot don’t know you’re born. Try sleeping in lorry in a good storm. My worst was a night in Hawes, I thought at one point we were actually going to tip over

When the wind does blow the carpets of my mother house lift and ripple. Freaked us right out when we were experimental wayward yoofs.

Would a GoPro Session work? I keep thinking about one as a stills/video compromise

Give us a backie – from that there Wiltshiurr

Well I still can’t pull a Wheelie for more than a few yards so maybe I should just keep trying.

This year i am going to try to avoid injury. 2015 sucked for broken and/or battered bones, balls and back.

I like the fact he rides stuff we do every day but with his Awesomes Boost setting swinging between Milk Tray smooth and ridiculous.

Did we ever find out the story behind the last film’s mysterious disappearing act?

I’m too scared to google bunga bunga party

Good tastes out there. Fin25, I like your style……The Boredoms? Far out.

For me Electric Ladyland is the one. The one I’ve listen to most over the years and the one album I’d take to the desert island. I listen to it often and every time it sounds different.

1992 Love Album, Entroducing, Exile on Main Street, In Utero, Ill Communication, Sheet One, Babylon by Bus amongst others are all albums I’d dearly miss

Waaaay! So cool. 8 and a half weeks in with our not so little (9:14 on arrival) guy and I’m still an emotional kaleidoscope. How can a baby crying feel so painfully sad yet fill you with such immense joy at the same time? Daftness

Theres a cycleway that runs straight past the entrance security hut. Take the right and follow your nose for a short while until you hit the road then just have a sniff about.

I was hoping this would be a thread about farts gone wrong

If you look up keep your mouth shut; my father teaching me to milk cows.

It has to be the Rocket! It just looks so much fun. Especially in these recent pics that have been popping up on FB. Clean and mean

I give wellies a pretty tough time and personally I’ve not found better than the £15 Dunlop steels. I know they can be a bit heavy but grip, durability and comfort imho is proper good value. There are two types of their cheapys I’ve found. Green and black. The blacks are better. They’re the builder style ones and have a thicker strip of rubber over the bridge of your foot. Plus they’re ribbed for extra…….
I ve tried the Purofoot but was bitterly disappointed. Get the size right and they’re very comfy but found the grip unpredictable and scary and they split fairly quickly. Most other steels are out of my price range. If I get 6 months out of a pair I’m happy.

As for warmth, I find socks and socketts are better for versatility. Size up, there’s room for layers in the winter and air movement in the summer

We are all guilty of liking a good craze although I’m keeping it retro with my 26″ wheels.
I’ve not punctured or noticed any squirm, roll or drag for the last 12 months of reasonably hard riding so I’m happy that the PSI is adequate. And I like that false sense of grip. It makes me faster.
It’s the high end, maxxterra 3c Exo doo da 2.35 on an Easton Haven (no idea of its width). Either way I’ll be needing a new one if nobody has a simple fix.

Waterproof socks

Do people really wash their helmets? A quick wipe off and I’m ready to go again

I went for the Bell over the Met due to its practicallity as a one lid does all. It’s comfy, secure and airy and I see the chin strap as a little bit of extra protection when I’m mincing the schralp on uplift days.
I’m reasonably quick, I think but never out of my limits so the fact the Bell doesn’t meet the safety certification standards isn’t much of a concern for me.

There is 4g with EE around the picnic tables at the cafe I noticed today

My truck has an option in the dash menu to mute/reduce the volume. I’d have thought most modern cars would have similar

That one will need a wipe

I think there are some Pikes are in the CRC sale. Solo airs but what more do you need?

Also keep an eye on Alltricks for discounts

After scanning through this and agreeing with most my new favourite phrase is “Skillet whip”.

Another vote for the 26″ NP Mega TR here from a CRC sale. I’ve run mine for a year or so now and it’s been a riot. Solo air pikes, tubeless Minions on Easton Haven wheels (CRC bargain), XT/SLX stop n go’s, 780mm carbon bars. It’s light and not too burly whilst still sucking up some big punches. Just remember to check the linkage bolts regularly, I had a few come loose.

Like the ice creams I’m partial to? No, a gurt red’un!

And I agree city trucks should be redesigned or have those wide angle looking glass things fitted to the ns window
