Hardly... Not that I have the energy to, but why can't the big boys play? Or those of a natural persuasion? Could work, usually happens on rides when we run out of things to do, usually after we've all had some fat filled lunch

Yeah, Jon knows allllllll about tan lines *reminisces about DJ ride* Although, i don't think foam grips would have saved him then... Look into TLD, sweet gloves - comfy, well fitted, well designed, just a bit pricey (well, they were when i last looked)

When it's warmer, you gotta come down here!!! Like last weekend, just without the London

depending on what time i have my hair cut, i should be out for a bit

Ah man, i wanted that Cannondale SO much

What a weekend! Was insane to see so many people in one spot, and outnumbering the security on an epic scale was a good laugh, John gets full points for SB RANGER harassment Met loads of old friends, and a lot of new ones, absolutely loved it!! As Luke said, thanks to all the Southend sluts, adopted or genuine, for making the weekend so good! I'm never manualing with a bag on again, ever. I still can't sit down properly :$

What a weekend! My arse is broken, i'm in so much pain right now. Great to meet new people and put some names to faces!! Tickle-tickle, Matt - awfully painted green 609 with a huge headtube.

See y'all in just over 2 hours.

Look into a 24" Jamie, i don't care that i'm awful anymore, it's all just insanely fun! I can't keep in a straight line when i manual. Can't sidehop (well i can, but only small stuff) Taps scare me

Scrub that, it's apple flavour now - 25 minute re-sprays are the only way forward.

Ok, i took Steve's advice on 'how to maintain your 609'... It now rides a minimum of 27% better, and is currently blue, black, nato green, pink, orange and white. Just an update for anyone i've told to find me

At this moment in time it's got a standard n/a rover 3500 V8 in it, accelerates really well in low box And we're in the process of building a 3.9 supercharged lump for it, which i going to be shitting scary. Will find out a full run down of what's on the current one/ going into the new engine for you Then it;s got the big full stainless exhaust system on it, looks pretty all the way from the manifold and sounds rather sexy!

Yeah, you've got the power.

If he doesn't do it, can i?

He's got about 17 bikes, i'm sure he'd lend you one!

Odds of 5:1 on 'Boobs or GTFO' I jest, i jest. I'll give it a go next week, not got the time to handle all this glory.

Where are you getting in to?

It's all about series 1's when it comes to hugely overpriced

It has 1958 plates, so would be passed off as tax exempt, when quite clearly it isn't. Loads of people do it with landys (usually series 3s 'cos you can get away with it fairly easily), avoid paying road tax, which is rather illegal. When doing it with Defender's/ mashed up Disco's such as above is wayy too obvious and risky from the owner's point of view. You need to have x amount of original parts from the 1958 car to claim tax exempt status, such as chassis being the main one, body parts, axles, transmission, engine etc etc and Jardo's new acquisition has nothing of a Series buried under all that. Can't remember exactly what's required for it. Hugely frowned upon by anyone who actually has a tax exempt car, too, as there's a greater risk of tax exempt status being removed from everything if lots of people do it. Not very likely to happen, but hey. Jardo's going to be a good boy, though - project's gonna be a winner

You can't call it winston Looks good though, although, if you ring it, you're a fanny.

So... What time are we meeting at shell?

Running an un-sealed headset? Take the bike apart again and see if anything's missing

What sam said - I take it you remembered to tighten the top-cap? Check to see how the stem comes up on the steerer, the top of the stem should sit higher than the top of the steerer tube
