    A good dinner, a glass of excelent armagnac, Carl Nielsen's The Inextinguishable on the radio and this thread. What a wonderful way to celebrate three years of unemployment :D

    Thank you all for the thread of the year (to date). :lol:

    So, Hammy got his hole with the office bike got drunk and posted it... good lad.

    Morals are a funny thing, I reckon mine went out the window a few months back.

    What's wrong with a "Friday night f*ck buddy"? Consenting and all that...

    So you've not fitted the freewheel at all?

    Not running a back brake is a mistake, when it's slippy it's easy to lose control and ram right into the back of something if you are going to fast.

    As for the hero of the story and his paramour - I think it's all good - looking forward to tonight's battered installment.

    Thats right, no freewheel. The thread where the freewheel could be is slowly gathering road dirt until the weekend clean.

    Not running a back brake is like rolling bare back IMO.

    You should always wear protection.

    And I suppose where your riding... the 'red route' or the 'dirt track' demands different types of protection I'm told.

    you can run a fixed without a bake brake no problems, I'd suggest a smaller gear as you will need to leg brake a fair whatck

    for a commuter fixed a rear brake is no bad thing. as it tends to be fu<kwit city

    lets not derail this thread any further... unless Hammy was doing the receptionist over his lejog bike?

    It's a bit sad when a bloke needs to resort to using anaesthetic to get a shag. And possibly a bit illegal though I'm no expert.

    I'm not casintg aspertions on your interpersonal skills personally DDD, just you happened to mention it.

    Actually its a 'connie' made by Durex. It's actually called 'Performa'.

    I only know them because a house mate gave me one as I had run out of featherlite (the nations favourite).

    To be honest with you these brand names could easily be co-opted into bike tyres i.e. Performer and Featherlite road bike tyres. Ribbed for Cyclocross. Roughrider and Blitzkrieg for MTB. Extra Safe for nodders and hybrids.

    I have always thought that dry lube is akin to an oxymoron.

    Has anyone considered how big the Husband is (or how psycho the husband is. Remember Raul Moat) and how much of a butt kicking he'd likely dish out if and when he finds out.

    I mean this, self preservation, may be the deciding factor before any morals are even questioned....

    Having been 'in bed' with the GF when her 'husband'* decided to come and inspect 'his house' at 2.30am, I can confirm that this should be No.1 priority! Fortunately he shat his pants when I got out of 'his bed' to have a word about his conduct. I went down stairs and offered him a cup of tea, he didnt know what to do. :shock: The police arrived shortly after and got him to leave. I then boshed his 'wife' twice more before sunrise. :wink: Hehehe!

    << Through squinted eye >>

    So you were in this guys house shagging his wife, who is/was also your girlfriend?

    He comes home at 2.30am. Why so late and why did he come round to inspect his house? Was he living there at the time?

    What conduct did you discuss with him?

    Why did he have to leave his property?

    Sounds like he was a beta to me?

    In my experience once one's lower brain takes over the thinking (often helped by one or two drinks) then morality, safety and consequences are pushed way to the back.

    When the heat-seeking-moisture-missile gets it's engines lit all you can do is watch it go!

    From some of the bragging about prowess here, the article has to be 'How cycling makes you a sex god/dess'

    But we all knew that already, right? ;)
