2009-01-24 Sat - The Tweed Run I

hmm, metallic lilac or pitted chrome...?

original.

You misunderstand me sir, the carlton is og metallic purple, the pennine og dirty chrome.
neither need a refin as i'm a patina freak. polish and a wee bit of wire wool ftw.
Just trying to decide which would look best with my outfit!
Heart says fuck it and build the pennine, wallet says no.

Oh, would also have to learn to ride fixed by then as well if i were to build it.... a minor point.

I don't like homophobes.
And so I don't like you.

If you are there, and some one points you out to me the best you will get is me asking you some fucking akward questions an inch from your face. Give me a reason in person and you can either pick your teeth off the road or have a run in with the boys in blue.

That is a threat.

Mr.Major,not very nice buddy.Now you would'nt want to get your tweeds all dirty would you.Its only a forum guy do'nt get all upset there.I am not one for threats,but I will tell you this I do not like anyone in my face so I think I will turn up to this,as I do most events.I ai'nt to hard to find.

Oh just calm down. Whats the deal with you? so much uptight tension chill the fuck out. No-one cares if you come on this or cares for your tweed hating spats. If you don't like then don't get involved. Have a wank or something.

Hmm all this talk of vintage steel has got me seriously reconsidering my choice of steed for the ride.
Do i:
A) Run my perfectly serviceable 71carlton corsa 5speed(well, 4 atm)
or
B) Batter my credit card to get my early 60's pennine marilyn conversion sorted?
Would involve sourcing 27" track wheels, tyres + bottom bracket and crank + headset + brake lever, cables = ftw
hmm, metallic lilac or pitted chrome...?

I may be able to help you out with a bit of your list. pm if you're interested.

waynester, you seem to be involved in an ongoing monkey love in. Every photo a monkey winner...

BDW have you got a Chimp picture for every occasion?

you can't be angry with a simian photo

The Bonk = Fucking legend.
The Pennine is coming on the tweed run.

Thank you again sir

it's got it all - Tweed, bikes and a dapper chimp

^ This needs to be included in the spokecard!

I will be boycotting this ride due to it's offences against animal kind.

Shame. I know you would be against this ride fom the start but a ride without your drunken abuse is just not the same.

Object in tweed???... only if tweed came in all black with leather bits might we see him...

Or he could come as a classic 1950s Dame!

I think the leather would also put him off.

Why dont you come along LOL you can always follow behind us with picket signs highlighting the cruelty to animals aspect hahahaha

**An update. **

Hello chaps. On the 24th, we’ll be meeting at 2pm in front of H Huntsman & Sons. I’m sure it’s in your address book already, but for visitors to London, their address is 11 Saville Row. Don’t forget to bring some pocket money for a lovely cuppa and perhaps a biscuit at the tea shop stop, and for a pint or two of bitter at the end.

I trust you’ve had your man preparing your outfit already. As an added incentive to turn up well turned out, there’s a competition -- friendly of course, all in good fun. Prizes awarded for:

Most dapper chap
Most dashing dame
Best moustache (open to both men and women, of course)
Most enviable period bicycle
The Doff of The Cap award for most civilised behaviour on the day

And a big doff of the cap goes to those who have donated the marvelous prizes: Hudson’s Hats (The Bonk), What Goes Around Comes Around (JD), Ved, and The Chap Magazine.

Looking forward to seeing you. Toodle pip!

Whoa, totally missed that The Chap Magazine are providing a prize..

Amazing

the "holland & holland" look
