Just saying, f**k off. I had some rather pimp bikes when I rode, but I was awful. What's it to you?

I guess all those wildly interesting things could (theoretically) mask it's flat, asthmatic hamster of an engine? On the other hand, my MZ with very boring handling, adequate brakes and boring suspension was brought alive by the fact that it had a powerband from 5000-8000rpm and went "NYEEEEEEEEEf**kSOCIETYNYYYEEEEEEEE!!!"

Pretty much all small capacity 4 strokes are flat and boring IMO. I'd go for the 2 stroke. I could be wrong, but I'm yet to meet an interesting 125 4 stroke...

Yeh tis a bit of a bummer. How many months are left on your contract?

I too thought it was brilliant. James' car is actually something I want. A mobile bed/workshop? The only way it could be improved would be if he'd put storage in it for climbing gear. If I built that into a 4WD estate, it would return better fuel consumption than a van but still get me to all the mountains...

Of course they do it's their jobs, and those tiniest margins all add up. They also still add up on top of a bucket load of juice.

Why don't you move anyway? You could move the stuff over slowly, avoiding rushing and moving firms, throw loads of shit away, clean everything etc, then when someone does pop up there's no chain?

I have a Galaxy S3 (and a spare Galaxy S somewhere), and I'm starting to think that the smartphone is too much of a compromised formula. I think the best system is to have a normal phone (ideally a Nokia 3310) and a tablet. That way you can actually read web pages, your phone doesn't run out of battery, texting with one hand is easy and apps are easier to use. If you're the sort of person tiny, delicate, girly hands then smartphones seem to work well, but I have pretty fat thumbs and arthritis, so I can't hit the right thing accurately enough. When I write out a text message, I usually get at least 30% of the characters wrong, even though I chose the S3 because it had the biggest touch screen on the market at the time, so the keys on the keyboard were the biggest.

Don't use that one, it's full of cocks in big fast Audi's, you should have a look at OTN instead.

MG-1 are the only way to go IMO. Very light, confortable (the curve in V8s made my feet ache), and very cheap.

Don't use wifi, please. Can you not run a cable through the house to a switch at the other side, then plug everything into that?

You really think if they'd plowed tens of millions into a cycling team, that they wouldn't have worked out how to get round the drugs tests? If Armstrong did it for so many years, then they how to avoid capture, and if they've put all that money into the team then they will have been doing anything they could to win, which is exactly what they did.

f**k off. Dick.

Bad times mate, sounds like a pretty gay reason to fail though? My understanding was that you could only fail for doing something dangerous, not potentially dangerous? (But then I failed my first attempt for stopping at a green light, which definitely was safe as there was no-one behind me). Pretty sure it isn't... Could be wrong though.

I'd bet a bollock on it. They are all at it! I know a cyclist (who I obviously won't name) who is close mates with people who often train with the likes of Chris Hoy, Bradley Wiggins etc. All of the top lads are using naughty things, otherwise they wouldn't be at the top.

48 is more than enough if you pre-load before you stomp around on the pedals.

2 weeks of facial stubble + 1 blunt razor =

I was being ironic.

Newfag...

Nah, only since about 2010.

I think we all have mate.

This is my correct display picture. I had it for the first couple of years when I joined up, then lost it, and recently found it again, but had to wait for tomshit to fix the display pic upload again.

I can make that in 5 minutes.

Bloody scotch...

How can you make a business out of screwing vans?
