Good idea, Dave. Hopefully my new tyres, pads and flatties will arrive in time.

I can't go. I'm now working this weekend [:(]

However, I have successfully swapped shifts so I can go off to the Alps with Dr Stu, Jonny and Stu555 next month instead! [:D][:D][:D][:p]

You and I clearly have a very different definition of 'fun', Dave...... [;)][xx(]

I'll join you on Saturday morning.

Would love to also join the Alps trip but cash flow aint what it should be [:(]

BTW - O2 are the biggest bunch of C***T'S you ever came across - insurance aint worth a toss as if you dont report the phone stolen within 24 hrs you aint covered and held liable for œ2k of unauthorised calls!! Fekn BA**ARDS!!

Think you could learn lots working in risk analysis, Alan... [;)]

Should be along on Saturday, too.

Think I might be along on my HT on Saturday, RM is going in for a new BB and possibly headset and not sure I will be able to collect it before Saturday.

Should be interesting as I have never done Inners on a HT before.

If I were you, I'd do all that I could to collect your bike before then, Dave. Inners on a HT will make you feel like you have entertained the Village People, come Sunday morning. [:0][:X]

Where do you put your bike into for work to be done on it, as a matter of interest? [?]

Bunch of lightweights, tsk. [:p]

The only, only place I would ever wish for a full-sus at Innerleithen is the last section (from the shortcut round to the Southern Upland Way) of the climb up to Minch Moor.

Can only assume that in order to come up with that analogy, Derek has actually 'entertained' The Village People... [;)]

I am actually thinking of taking it anyway, last few rides I think I have been quite lazy taking lines that I couldnt do if I was on a HT. Buying a light bike with good shock/fork is great but can take the fun out of it a bit sometimes (if you are a lazy git like me).

My Ht has an old knackered 80mm Marzocchi Air fork which could make things a bit more interesting[}:)]

Then again I will probably wimp out on Saturday morning and bring my FS killing machine[:D]

Ah, yup; knackered old 80mm forks could indeed make it 'interesting' - point taken! And that was what Derek had, on his old Orange, last time I was there with him.

Solution: Just air the entire rock garden - that shouldn't be too hard, after all there is a ramp to launch off at the entrance and your fun ruining suspension should soak the rest of it up.

Not that you should really need it anyway. I'll bet GW could do it on his daughter's bike.

LOL. Proper riders know what that is. If you can find one then maybe you can ask them.

It's different from when you do a jump - which is usually when both wheels leave the ground for a fraction of a second, and for no more than a few inches. [;)]

You didn't read that properly Dave - I said 'fraction of a second' and not 'a few seconds'. You'd need to take your bike onto a plane to get that sort of airtime.

And that's exactly what we'll be doing in about a months time [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

Might join you lot on Saturday if it's early ... what time?

househusbandwmb · June 2007

Dave - you know you were saying a few weeks ago that someone with whom you work (former boss?) lives a few doors along from us? (Am sure it was you I was having that conversation with...)

Last night an Audi delivery truck pulled up at their drive and off-rolled a brand-new TT... very nice, I must admit. Much more of a masculine shape than the old 'hairdressers car' shape.

Yeah, she is on pretty good cash. Car like that will be no probs as she also did well out of her Flat sale in Edinburgh after moving out to your bit.

Nice car, not what I would choose for the cash but very nice to drive. Someone else I work with bought one a few months back, he much prefers it to the older shaped one.

Could see the son (her partners son, I guess) looking at it intently and sitting inside, and I was thinking 'Not a hope in Hell, sunshine...'!

Admittedly there's not much you can say about a Yaris, other than mention its reliability, sub œ200 fully-comp insurance, 45-50mpg...
