Before he was shot I only saw him on Youtube being quite outspoken and aggressive/condescending while debating his political position with academics, students etc. which showed him to be an educated and seemingly quite intelligent complete cunt. Agree with everyone that being assassinated is terrible for his family and unfortunately the biggest problem I see is that it makes him a martyr for the scum that he supported. Literally anyone who is pro-Trump seems to be stupid, racist, short sighted and basically fucking dangerous. The utter retardedness of Trump's whole persona and presidency is so completely ridiculous satirists will be losing their jobs as you simply couldn't make up the dumb shit he does and says every single day. Being a 'genuinely nice human' would suggest someone who is in some way trying to improve things for ordinary people in a selfless way, something that simply cannot be said for anyone who is anti-gay, anti-trans, anti-abortion, pro-white supremacist, anti-immunisation, pro-Trump etc. etc. It feels like he was distressingly good at pushing his twisted, fucked up politics to a large portion of young, impressionable (stupid) Americans. While we're here I'm livid that the orange cunt is in the UK again.  In other news, I only noticed today at work that the Silverhook Big Boy filler logo looks a lot like Trump, if a bit less orange...

I agree a beginner bike is just about budget and preference since you control it fully from the start. Expensive bikes can be worth it if you’re committed and have the funds. Starting on a simple bike can build technique, but it’s not necessary unless you’re very young and aiming to be the best.  

Until you posted I had zero knowledge of the guy other than he is another gun death statistic. My very basic search left me a bit baffled as you’re right, I would class you as a kind decent human being, but the main headlines for this guy are views that are incredibly right wing, intolerant and quite frankly dangerous. The way you posted made me think that I was missing something, but I’ve not found anything different, so if I’m missing something please tell me?  If politically that’s what you side with that’s fine, I’m not going to persuade to become a lefty liberal. I can understand how you might in that scenario respect someone like that - to get in the position they were, and promote the things they believe in, sure. But I just don’t understand how you can call any of those behaviours nice. Strong - sure.  Hardlined yes. Like did he also do a shit load of charity or something?  So to be honest I still don’t understand your original post and still feel like I’m missing something.  

Trialtech are still very much a thing… but stock levels are pretty low. Trialtech / Inspired had a stand at The Malverns Classic back in August so still have a presence 😊

no, I can lead a horse to water but I can’t make it drink. It’s not my job nor need to make you change your mind. I just know that I saw plenty of evidence for me to come to my conclusion. I’d like to think that I’m considered a kind decent human and if someone like me can see good in Charlie then perhaps he’s not the monster some people would have you believe he is.
