Spotted...

My Bike scarring the shit out of the general public in Balham last night, when the front tyre exploded sounding like a gun going off.... I'd just swapped the front and rear tyres over to give me a fresh tyre for skidding and must have got the inner tube caught inbetween the tyre and wheel.....Changing Tyre Fail !!!!

All I can think is.. thank god I wasn't on it at the time.

Johnny on his copacetic having a fight with a carrier bag by Waterloo this morning. I was two bikes behind and thought you'd hit a pigeon at first.

That's his best bag!

was he getting his tin of special brew out for breakfast?

So they were running the red? Which means they had their siren or lights on which means you didn't see or hear them as you entered the intersection, which means.. observation fail. I hope you have brakes and slow down until you can read the traffic a bit better.

No HIppy, got it wrong, I was coming from Angel, the t junction of Liverpol Road by Sainsburys, they were turning down the side st across traffic towards the station, we were both green, but they were crossing traffic, my right of way, they didn't see me. Didn't have lights or sirens on, they were on the way back to the station for t break.

Most definatly their observation fail as they cut across without looking. Should have written them a fixed £30 fine for driving without due care and attention

Me impeding the progress of purple mj down OKR this morning.

You practising your sprinting technique for track day already then Steve?

Also, bloke on a black IRO with white Deep Vs and white bullhorns and battenberg socks heading north from E&C to Waterloo at about 9.25 - are you a Forest Hiller by any chance?

morning paul. what were you riding. i spotted the black IRO dude too and do quite regularly up walworth road.

haha, i wish. early hair of the dog ftw

morning paul. what were you riding.

a fraudaxer: old blue paddy wagon, full mudguards and giant carradice saddlebag.

Donut! and Crabtree going down bethnal green road towards Sclater st, I stealthily shouted DO A SKID from pavement level behind some scaffolding.

Duncan responded with razor sharp reactions, Chris just looked mildly amused, awesome :)

I'm pretty sure that Chris did one too. That was the loudest 'D.A.S.' I've heard, and
from behind all that scaffolding too. Funny.

There was lots of this going on yesterday, on my way down the Caledonian Road on my way to work some little kids, had to be 9 or 10, shouted 'do a skid' to which I responded with a nice long slide to the yells of appreciation from said yooths.

Ahh, they grow up so fast!

cheers paul, i have seen you plenty and am sure we even had a chat now and again.

hello Jonny good to see you the other day the do was a good one ended back in brixton in the early hours drinkin till the am. that boozer the Marquis is a good one.

Yeah, we've spoken before - resulting in me looking "copacetic" up in a dictionary. It was soon after your alps ride earlier this year.

When is the right time to call out D.A.S.??? I mean, i see lovely whips all over the place and some seriously badass riders but i never can shout that. All i can do is politely say: "Nice Bike man..."

Personally, doing a skid is AWESOME, but to see it done on commond is BRILLIANT!!!

And is it really only ppl you know who say it to eachother? Or is it randoms who are in the know?

I guess running around Shoreditch screaming DAS is probably just make me hoarse...

Selimski and eggpie on tramp's courier's corner on Broadwick Street... Working in that red building today, nice to see you fellas... Hope work picks up this arvo... :]

CrazyJames does not know of randoms, for he is all seeing and all knowing.

HTFU and strengthen your vocal chords ;)

I just shout it whenever, wherever, to anyone who looks remotely familair or who happens to be riding a fixed when the mood takes me, sometimes I shout it at random fluro nodders just for kicks.

I was shouting it at a coupla ruckin' donkeys in Spitalfields yesterday... True story...

Spotted about 600 slick-haired and suited city boys preening about in Condor during the hour I spent staring at the Rapha wall.

I forgot! Jimbilly coming back form the shop round the corner from our prospective gaffs...

We both transmitted 'do a skid' via thought waves and then both obliged. It had just been raining, so the road was perfect for it. After a nice 30ft skid each, we came to a halt at the same time, within about a foot of each other.

Synchronised skidding FTW

CrazyJames thinks that people who refer to themselves in the 3rd person might be about to disappear up their own arse. :-)

To the girl at Aldwych who said she likes my lock - I wanted to say that I likes your bike and your outfit :)

Selim and eggpie still standin' on the corner of Broadwick and Poland slagging off Buffalo Bill... ;P
