New MTB Thread

I’ll bet he’ll have a pair of cutters in his rucksack for future needs!! :yahoo:

All you have to do, copy the youtube address and paste into the source in the video option.

Its working now because I edited it and put the address in the source where as you put an embeded iframe. :good:

Had to buy a new crash hat, the pads in my Bell are screwed. New pads can be bought but they take 4 weeks from the USA and are a bit of a con, £14 odd for some foam!

Could get them from Ireland but they wanted £21! No way.

Couldn’t wait 4 weeks as the bare plastic was starting to cut my forehead so I bagged one of these in white and an extra set of pads. Came today and it’s super comfy, slight pain getting my camera on top and I might have to buy a special mount, I hope not though.

All the cool kids have drop handle bars, just saying….

Having their car crushed is too good for them: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-38824924

Unlicensed vehicle, drove like a total fool and then compounded her stupidity by her actions, crushing the car is fully justified as the law mandates that action. As for the stupid woman; publicly displaying her for a while might help her to understand she is not the only one on the road, perhaps a 25 mile naked cycle ride round London on a cold wet day would help her to understand?

I am not even a cyclist these days, though I am a road user and could well do without fools like her and no, I would prefer not to see film or still of the naked ride thank you!

I didn’t read the article but remeber the media storm at the time. She is an idiot and deserves what she gets

However JV didn’t help himself, and could of got out the way on a number of occasions but preferred to antagonise the woman. So I think he should have his bike crushed too.

Before the you lot jump on me for hating bikes, I don’t mind them, as long as they are being sensible.  most are, we get alot around mine, but you get a few fools, just like in walk,there are two in the video above for example.

Both as bad as each other. I also like JV, but he is no bike role model.

But that women is mental, and it shows. I’m sure at some point, we have all needed to move a car from a-b and not been fully ligit to drive it, would it occur to you, no matter how entagansed you got, to kick off in a non ligit motor! It’s all about blending in.

In Thr 90s I drove around in an escort van for a year, while “practicing” for my test, took my test in that van, and the instructor asked me did I know I was ment to be accompanied by a qualified driver.

I just acted daft.  I find acting daft, and polite can get you out of the most sticky situations. I got pulled once for driving my rover 420sli, I asked the guy why he pulled me, and his reply was, “criminals driver rovers, I get a good return on them” , internally I thought that has to be profiling, but instead of being a dick, I just had a laugh with the policeman about it. Which worked out well as I knew I had an illegaly balding tire.  but then at uni I couldn’t afford a new one untill the next week, so when he noticed the tire, we was already on good terms, I admitted I knew it was low and was going to get it done, and he let me off, with a “get is sorted asap”.

When you see these police camera action shows, the perp is always a compleat mental case that has no control of body or mind, and a come at dick to the officer, just like this women.

as a young marine I learnt early, when caught doing somthing,  whatever it is, be respectful, as being a dick can only work against you. No one ever got put in a better mood be being called a **”* =*#(# – =#+&,…….

Watching the Dirt Shed Show 100th episode earlier today and they show my fat bike, at about 22 minutes in and get quite excited about it! Have to be quick to spot it though, it’s on for seconds, on top of the Garth last week.

Never thought they’d show it at all, it’s probably the cheapest bike in the bike vault by about a grand, if not more.
