Stevo wanted me to say he's missing you all especially you Pina :P
Looks like he's having fun in Wales on his gravity / van assisted riding weekend 8)

That's a roadie clinging on for a free ride wanting to experience a proper ride on a DH run

Cheers Arran.
8) day - apart from the ferkin heat: got boiled alive in my mighty morphing power ranger outfit. Had a play on the black runs when I managed to grow a pair in the afternoon - bloody great fun but I'm missing some skin off my elbows after stacking it on one of the bigger drops."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."

F'ing hell, are you really so hideously ugly you have to conceal your face like that?? 0

No worries 8)
Wasn't ever going to get a particularly good reception to be fair, some people don't recognise a decent bike when they see it
I think we've discovered a few more like Piña though who are suppressing their inner mountain bike urges "Arran, you are like the Tony Benn of smut. You have never diluted your depravity and always stand by your beliefs. You have my respect sir and your wife my pity"

Although it would be even worse if I didn't wear one after todays little offs ! "I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Maybe next time I shouldn't give them the bird?arran77 wrote:Stevo 666 wrote:Cheers Arran.

Give me enough time and I'll 'cure" them "I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -

Perhaps it was a little offensive, maybe you could have just mooned at them
I think you'll find that some of them are a little beyond being cured "Arran, you are like the Tony Benn of smut. You have never diluted your depravity and always stand by your beliefs. You have my respect sir and your wife my pity"

All that armour and you still managed to take some skin off your elbow?Stevo 666 wrote:8) day - apart from the ferkin heat: got boiled alive in my mighty morphing power ranger outfit.

I have to exorcise this thread

What pro roadies do for fun:
As opposed to old pros like Piña the Diva.0 -
Yep, I call it 'armour burn'. If you hit the deck at a reasonable rate of knots then depending how you make contact, sometimes the friction between ground and armour moves the armour and the inside of the armour scrapes the skin underneath.Veronese68 wrote:

Just superficial stuff in the end but without armour that would have ended my day and probably got me into Cardiff A&E. Trails there can be pretty rough/gravelly/rocky"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
was it also the mondeo owners club car boot day?0

Best to go low profile in Merthyr so the contents of your car don't get 'borrowed'matthew h wrote:was it also the mondeo owners club car boot day? Mondeos just happen to be able to take a DH bike in the back without removing anything - 780mm bars can be a bit of a faff manoeuvring into a lot of cars.

Mondeo's have loads of room for a DH bike and all those roadies bodies that 'accidentally' got knocked off their bikes on the way to the trails :twisted:pinarello001 wrote:I have to exorcise this thread
He looks a bit 'limp wristed' "Arran, you are like the Tony Benn of smut. You have never diluted your depravity and always stand by your beliefs. You have my respect sir and your wife my pity"

^That man is as tough as nails. That is Jens Voigt, currently riding the Tdf aged 43.
Tougher than 10 mountain bikers bailed in my machinery.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
He appears to have smaller balls than this girl:

That's quite a set up for that little hill you've just come down 0 -
Here's the run that we were doing in the afternoon (though not quite as fast as the bloke who filmed this footage :P )florerider wrote:That's quite a set up for that little hill you've just come down

I don't think I'll be needing that for a while. The bike's got a baby seat on. I go up and down a few slopes and dips, much to Baby Finch's delight, but I'm going to have to leave the DH bit for now.0 -

no - kids love a bit of fun.
I took my eldest around the Llandegla blue route on the back of my bike - got to the end and he had lost a wellie & his dummy - but he loved it0 -
Indeed, took the boy off road a few times on the tag along. He absolutely loved it. The EPO wasn't so impressed when we got home and he was absolutely caked in mud, then he smiled and revealed the mouthful of mud he had from laughing all the way round.matthew h wrote:johnfinch wrote:Stevo 666 wrote:
