    This is my bike, there are many like it but this one is mine
  • 110! That's some age. Just read about him online, and he seems to still be in a good mental state, which is a fantastic thing.

    Colin would only have posted it if something dreadful had happened to him, like he got mugged.

    No offence intended to the gent in question, Matt. Must be amazing to live to that age and have all your marbles

    And in further news, BikeRadar poster biff55 was arrested under anti-terror legislation, under suspicion of being a suicide bomber.
