I'm quite new to this forum so can any one tell me why everyone loves to wind up freehub?

    I have no idea, but can't resist the trend.

    I want to know why his bike does not fit him?

    Yeah, is that still for sale? I could do with an old banger to transport my bikes about...

    Old banger - you mean classic car surely.
    it's a hard life if you don't weaken.

    The 605 is one of the few Peugeots I could covet. And it was in one of the coolest film car chases. Mind you, I've got a thing for unloved old eurobarges.

    Is it like this one?

    I might make him an offer if he can tax & MOT it for me. You could easily fit a couple of bikes in there.

    Herd mentality, with a bit of cyber bullying thrown in.

    I asked him if he had changed the cambelt and he didnt reply so I would be a bit careful if I were you.

    Hmm. I once had a Citroen XM — the other car in the Ronin chase (apart from the mythical Mercedes 450SEL 6.9) — which died when the cambelt failed. It did so, inimitably, in the fast lane of the north circular — and in those cars, loss of power means loss of everything, steering, suspension, the lot. The manouvre to the hard shoulder was entertaining.

    Me Mam had a 605 and the cambelt jumped on that, she was lucky no real damage. I had a 16v Clio and the cambelt went on that, I wasnt so lucky, I bent 9 valves iirc :cry:

    There's no such thing as a 'fast lane' :roll:

    That is some splendid internet pedantry. To some people, who may number in the majority, the fast lane is a casual term for the the outside lane — that one nearest the central reservation. On a motorway, that lane is reserved for overtaking. On the north circular, it's a free-for-all.

    All 3 lanes of the N Circ are passing lanes and the outside lane is the "ok to break the speed limit lane", apparently :shock: .

    Ok to nearly double it if you're in a scaff truck or an Iveco Daily, presumably. Hold onto your hat.
