Very sad.
He manages to stay exceptionally composed, considering the emotive subject.

Without wishing to appear disrespectful however, I'm not sure if I totally agree with the message. Surely your concentration needs to be at pretty much 100% 100% of the time when riding.?

Many Happy Returns Mr Itchy, I hope you have a really good one & that you enjoy being 35.

I don't remember dropping a bike, except when moving at damaging speeds. Don't get me wrong, I will have done so as I was quite small when I started riding. However fwiw I have been witness to an epic one.: I was in a flash bike showroom, probably about 10 years ago. A couple of lads were looking ro...

I have to agree with you Fkr1s, but I think it's just symptomatic of peoples self obsessed & selfish attitudes that are becoming so much more prevalent these days.
It seems to me that the increase in bad drivers is just yet another example.?

Ok, I’m not entirely comfortable with doing this, but as you lot have I’ll give it a try. There’s not much to know about me. I’m no Saint & my Christian name is not Mark. I’m 21, and “a bit”. However the “bit” joke wore very thin after it’s 21st anniversary, and that was a long time ago. I am st...

At the time it was heart stoppingly beautiful.
It still looks DDG 20 years on IMHO.

However (sorry Duke) I now prefer the looks of my 675.
The true test, I guess, will be if my bike still retains the same impact in 20 years time.

Hi DG.

Actually Duke, that's exactly what put's me off treating myself to something exotic.
I simply couldn't carve my way through the traffic (like I did today) or hoon round a racetrack with the same happy abandon if I was that precious about my bike.

Fwiw I expect that Hubb's has got the message loud & clear by now.

Perhaps thinking hats on.: Maybe the advice we should now be concentrating on offering should be more around the best tactic for changing his colleague's mind .?

Fwiw I think we all know it will probably end in tears mate.

You will end up with a damaged bike, an injured colleague, probably someone's damaged car & undoutably the blame for all of it.

How to tell him no, so that he "gets it" is going to be a challenge though IMHO.

I had kangaroo over Christmas. Unimpressed tbh. Not worth it over beef IMO. We have an ostrich farm up the road so that will get a visit during the year. I'd like to try it. That's a shame. My take on the Kangaroo steak was that it seemed very tasty. I felt it's consistency was about that of a firm...

Deany said she got it from Lidls. Apparently it was on offer.

Kangaroo Steak.
Delicious.!

Hi BTF, and welcome to here.

Soppy, maybe. But also correct IMHO.

Home is always where your heart is at.
