I find that my voice works better than a bell. I have tried various different cries such as "Watch out" or "cyclist coming through" and "excuse me please" but they seemed to be ignored, often by non English speaking tourists. A stroke of genius presented the answer. I now shout "ACHTUNG!!!!" very loudly. It's impressive how everyone jumps swiftly out of the way.

Good shout...my chum richard used to scream BANZAAAAAAAAAAAi! when confronted by unruly peds. It was a scream.

Ooohh.....when one wishes to pop up on air traffic control radar....landing ramp and 12inches of suspension are a must, dudes.

Yes indeedy. Needing a good hammering back into shape, half a roll of duct tape and about a zillion cable ties to get home. Not bad for how fast we were going went we parted company though!

It was before the what happened next.... ;)

I'd just about got the oooooh sh...bit out of 'oh shit' at this point.

white and chrome bianchi...crossing Oxford St on regent, just now. Sorry if I made you jump by revving the mo'bike.

and tighten your chain....

I'd be interested in the Holdsworth or Argos if no dibs...

Love to do one of these nightrides....not sure if the wheels will be finished in time though...and not sure I can grind through 60miles after a 3 month lay off!

I just got our firm signed up to this....not hard. Numerous benefits to the company not least of which the depreciation related tax right off when they sell you the bike at the end. Will post up my prep list for the boss tomorrow if I saved it somewhere!

NO! Weight goes back so the bike doesn't endo when braking hard.

yup.

I think we should have a stopping compo - front brake vs back brake.

Front is for stopping, back is for control.

I can do stoppies in the wet...no problem.

Drain covers and mid corner....and for them reasons alone I wouldn't ride a non-fixed bike for any duration without a rear brake.

And skids.

Cpin,

Nice - mine if it was anywhere near london. Carlton were top bikes apparently?

Ta for the suggestion.

Jg.

mullerbugs,

pm'd you.

For the missus, preferred lugged. Track or horizontal / semi drop outs.

All considered!

Cheers

Thanksyou. I've been to the pub and my creative juices just spilling onto the keyboard. Cloth?!

What websites you 'bin lookin' at Willis?

Not specifically the GI I have a prob with, it's more the range of movement when I really get going. Got a lot of metalwork in one leg.

'Tis for a new build anyways so I have the choice....

Thinking of going this route...bad leg makes a good spin a bit painful on 170s.

Talk me in/out of it....

i reckon if the motorbike/ped was ridden well it would completely rule over other transport.

Absolutely true. I once did Kingston to Canary wharf in under 18minutes.

Probably jail for doing that these days.....

I've beaten a mate on a 30mph twist and go from City to South Ken though!

Ooooooh. I may have just made small sex wee.

So how do you find it fella?

....pointless rose-tinted specs anachronism or whip for a king?

Anyone had one?

Didn't the bike stop at red lights n stuff in that?

Motorbike would cream it fulham to city airport. You need a high concentration of traffic lights to make bikes pay....W1>EC2 for example I can do faster on me pushie.

I am happy because creme eggs are back in the shops and I have eaten half a dozen in under 12 hours.

That's some sick shit man, you need to get help for that...;)

Good man.

I used to do a lot of night missions, mostly on motorbikes though. Empty road death or glory runs...but I'm getting old now and can't see shit in the dark anymore. So I'm back pushi-ing.

Old industrial areas and sink estates are creepily atmospheric at 3am.

yeah the edition thing smacks of over marketing...milking a stagnant beaver etc.

Seems SS has reached some sort of critical mass the number of OTP options about these days. Not in itself a bad thing, though.
