    Now who said that gallantry was dead?

    I think Don Don is entirely right to put himself out there in free sight and have a punt.

    It's the equivalent of making the longest walk, across the floor of a pub to talk to a bird when she's with all her mates....

    Mucho grande Cojones required as the walk of shame back, ten seconds later is very high on the great pain scale.

    Also if he did it via PM then we'd never have a laugh about it (until she posted his love notes for us to see of course).

    Thankyou for your kind words father. I hope I have inherited even half of your empathy :D

    I'm afraid no man can stand in the way of a love this all-encompassing. I'm sure he would step aside once he saw the perfect roundness of my chainring.

    My new-found father, GregT, will understand my feelings..

    I'm praying it's something to do with chains...errr...<<thinks: "whips and ...">> ...or maybe not...

    That it involved two men on a tandem is all I'm ready to admit to at this juncture :oops:

    I'm thinking this might be a better level to pitch at:

    Whilst riding one day, lost in thought,
    Not looking again, as I ought.
    A slippery runnel
    as I entered the tunnel,
    with pants down, thus I was caught.

    Pedestrians came to my aid,
    As embarrassedly there I was laid.
    "On active reflection, you should wear protection"
    Was the comment that most of them made.

    A+ for poetry but is the subject matter really going to win her over?

    Also, what's a runnel?

    genius

    Whilst riding with brand new cleats,
    I forgot the pedals were stuck to my feet,
    In my haste to unclip,
    I hit the kerb and did flip,
    My arse right over my tiits.

    In the road I was lying,
    Whilst my mates were all crying,
    My steed was broken and wrecked,
    My knees were all scabby,
    My pride it was shabby
    And my Ring was thoroughly bent.

    My art will not be constrained by the paradigm of rhyming and verse form.

    Don is a bit of a stalker
    his belle is the age of his daughter
    he woos her online
    and plies her with rhyme
    but she'll soon blow him out of the water!

    (My apologies to all concerned.....not meant to be the least bit serious!)

    Well - if we're all getting in on the 'poetry' :D

    in days of old
    when don was bold
    and lit was cycling past
    he stuck his yoke
    between her spoke(s)
    and she landed on her ass

    I'm very much enjoying all the poetry!

    But Kieran, I agree with Jen, if someone chucked a yoke between my spokes I'd probably thump them... once I'd escaped from my SPDs.

    A fragrant young lady named LiT
    made Don_don behave like a twit
    He stalked her on the boards
    Watched by the internet hordes
    Hoping she'd give him a bit
    It's just a hill. Get over it.

    Roughly the same reaction I'd wager...

    I open the floor for other item-in-bike part attempts.... :lol:

    It's at this point that I wish

    a. I was witty
    b. Knew more bike parts than brakes, pedals, handlebars, gears.

    See by asking, I'm avoiding having to try myself and revealing that I am not actually very funny... and nice one SecretSam....

    I tried but failed to rhyme anything with derailier.....

    I was thinking or running "impale-ier" but thought better of it in case the cyber fuzz busted me for over the top lewdness and I got excommunicated to the MTB boards....
