Obree's new hour record attempt bike

It kinda looks like he's going backwards...

I don't think the Bike Radar bike is the one he will be riding for the Record. I looks like a child bike and is obviously geared. Where as the previous one had no mounts obviously.

I thought bike radar was a psychic ability.

The bike has changed a bit since the photo's above. Riding position looks a little uncomfortable...

That's a road tt bike with gears, aerobars, etc. It's not his hour record bike.

Anyone know if the big guy is still making an attempt at the record?

"Obree, 43, said last night: "I've still got this drive to find out what I can do.

"It's probably the last-chance saloon, but I don't want to get to 50 and think, 'I should have gone for that record'.""

Anyone got the Flying Scotsman on DVD that I could borrow?

I've got it. It's still shrink-wrapped. :)

You can of course borrow it and I'll even let you unwrap it.

That would be great- now how to get it to my house in time for my Pizza to come out of the oven?

I'm fast.. I'm not that fast. :)

Can I be bothered to drive to Ealing to get it.

Hmm.

I presume you are at home Hippy?

I am. But I would consider it a non-essential use of an automobile should you try such a stunt and not answer the door. :)

If he answers in the affirmative, its EVERYBODY ROUND TO HIPPYS for free drinks!!!!!

I'll be there in 20. Get the marshmallows on. ;)

Strengthen the sofa.

I am. But I would consider it a non-essential use of an automobile should you try such a stunt and not answer the door. :)

No problems, I've got the Husqvarna in the boot from chopping wood the other weekend.

Hmm.. on the other hand.. if you filled your car with booze.. it WOULD be a worthwhile trip..

Have you any idea how much booze it would take to fill my car?

Yes.

I have approx 15 cans of Guinness in the Fridge, couple of full (but small) wine racks.

That's not going to fill the car, so I guess it will have to stay outside- can you take the DVD to work with you tomorrow and I'll grab it off you?

Wine? Keep it. :)

I'd prefer to do that. I'll put it in my bag now.

Cheers- means I get to keep a couple of gallons of fuel unburnt for slightly longer as well.

Save the Planet!
