... years ago for £475k! We saw a few houses closer to the city centre, but some had shared gardens due to an old right of way going through them, or were simply too small. When we found this house we knew straight away we wanted it and I put an offer on my second viewing. The plan was to be here ...

... is still there. We could design bikes and ride in a way that there would be no or little risk. But then it wouldn't be fun :) Yep...if biking were 'easy' I don't think I'd want to do it....it's the hard part that makes it worthwhile.

The green lizard dude has Han cornered....but it's got me thinking...if you were green, why the fcuk would you wear green clothes??????

... with 'proper' trusted ones as the Chinese ones are made of cheese. You don't need a footpeg falling off mid corner (tmi) To be fair the fixings were better than the stock one I had to remove with a drill! I've thread locked everything I don't want to fall off and copper slipped everything I ...

Brake levers and carbon bits are never an issue but when you start mentioning multi bikes with forged wheels, power ...

I just about shat.

Still.....

I'd like to see what a $8000 guitar looks like.

If only you were able to post a photo

When no one was watching I nipped up it, piece of cake.! :) They were f'kin furious.!!! :( To be fair, I'd never even seen a safety harness, let alone worn one.

... Not sure the exact speed i got up to but was over 140mph. Didn't really fancy looking down at the dials with the armco right next to me. We were not allowed to take any photos all day and phone cameras were stickered over. This gives you an idea of the place. Great experience. [video]https://youtu.be/C5qWOwmypeA?t=3m30s[/video]

Sounds amazing Duke, were you at the wheel or along for the (white knuckle) ride. ??

... to take one out for a test ride, was down at Bulldog this morning before a little blip to Marlborough. Man the bike is small and heavy, my legs were up around my ears, and I am not exactly one of the tallest on here!! I had the accessory seat which I think is thinner and the seat was at its ...

... times but nothing major, mainly dry and a lot of fun. Also checked the tyre pressures as things did not feel right, foot pump gauge said pressures were ok, new gauge said the rear was 20 psi....... doh! I knew something was wrong :( won't rely on pump anymore....

... seen him commit to something so well. He was pretty proud (as was I) when he got it and it was a good lesson for him on perseverance. Once they were all knackered I had a go. Haven't climbed in over 15 yrs, and even then it wasn't a regular thing. Did a few easier runs to warm up and then after ...

I know you were having a laugh with the 'stupid bike' comment D, and I was too with the reference to my son. But the inability for some people to accept responsibility ...

Those look good. I'd stick with those stock heelplates if it were me....but then again I'm just not as enamoured with carbon stuff as I used to be.

Were you like this afterwards?
