Re: Mike's Last Ride

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.?

Re: The Dropped my Bike like a plonker thread....

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...

Re: Motorway driving has got so much worse

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.?

Re: Introductions

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...

Re: It was 20 years ago today..........

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.

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.

Re: someone wants to take the bike round the car park

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 .?

Re: someone wants to take the bike round the car park

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.

Re: What are you eating ??

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...
