  2. im allways game for street. Besides, when the tide comes in all the Best rocks get covered.
  3. sounds like a good excuse for me to come out. Ill see who around here wants to come out.
  4. Having a Party at my Gaff. Screw going into any towns, All Bars/Pubs Will charge for entrance, be packed and shit. Last year the Bar stopped serving at 11:30 until 12:30 so the bar staff could have a break, Everyone in the pub ran out of drinks for the New year and it was generaly a shit atmos.
  5. Im still waiting for my JP trial Co Sponsership Pack to arrive. Any sign of it? Depending on Competition Dates I could be coming along With Pat Donovan. Lets hope theres none on at the time.
  6. Ive Been Meaning to come to this For years, But havent. Might try and Make an aperance this time round. You think itll be worth it? Those who know me think ill have a good time? If I do Go Ill be heading out from the South east, so can met up/convoy/give lift to from this area, and hopefully meet everyone else at the Station/ferry port and follow you accross.
  7. Dude if you get stuck send them to me with the steerer tube and ill get them repaired
  8. I like forward Planning. Gives a Good amount of time to prepare, and book time off work.
  9. Pat. Either answer your phone or call me. People come ride.
  10. Girls Jeans can no way be comfyer than Baggy Jeans. Just not possible. Think how comfortable Jogging Trousers are, they are baggy. Same with Pajamas ect. You dont see anyone going to be in skin tight PJ's. how can something thats constantly restricting your movment, and litterly squeezing your legs be comfortable? Besides, Jeans for riding sucks arse. Its all about the Camo Shorts.
  11. Should be a Laugh. I know over the years many of you have wished to come and ride worthing, and have kept telling me youll come down. So damn well get down here. And it McCaw
  12. If you have a water Issue go to your Local Environmental Health Agency (local town hall/council will tell you where it is) and get an Environmental Health Officer to come around. (its free) They are there to prevent people being made to live in Housing that is unsafe for Human Habitation. This is also a Legal Clause in your tenacny Agreement. They will come to the House and do some tests, then file a report to your letting agency telling them what they have to do. I feel for you, im in the same Boat. 7 Months ago we started to get a mound Problem in our flat. All the ventilation systems stopped working, and damp was setting in. We told the Letting Agency and they came round and saw it. Just small amounts, not alot to Fix. ( i had also told them on day 1 that the vents didnt work, had an electrician confirm it) They decided to do Nothing, and it got to the Point where mound attacked everything. I lost a few coats, shoes and other clothes, my Air Rifle. My Mrs Lost her Guitar, Amp, Clothes and shoes, all because they got attacked by Mould and ruined. The Hall way wall got full of damp and is now falling down. So I got an environmental Health Officer to come over and he done a report, tested walls and vents. This report said that the Bathroom needed to be pulled out, the hallway wall repaired and vents fixed among other things. Unfortunatly our letting agency said they arent bothered and wont do any repairs. And then tried to Put Our rent up. So we are leaving the Flat (on thurs) and going private Let. That way we can talk to the property owner and not some idiots. Letting agents are only interested when they are reciving money. Good luck with your claim, and if possible see help from a lawyer, they will have alot more pull when talking to letting agents, and can throw good threats, which letting agents know they can keep to. *PS, if anyone knows any way I can get some compensation from My letting agents, Please PM Me*
  13. Those Tensioners are about 8/9 years old. Cant belive they havent changed the Design. Well if it aint broke.......
  14. Why are all the fun trials rides on Days Im Busy?? Got Girlfriend Duties to attend to Her Works Xmas Do
  15. Ah Damnit. Was driving along alot of country lanes Yesterday, and My car Was Absolutly Filthy. To The Point you couldnt see out. But it rained hard last night and most of it came off.
  16. Alot of it stems from Skate Park Eticate. When you are riding a BMX in a skate park, and there is a few Kids on skates Constantly getting in the way youll get pissed off. Same with any sports that share a common ground. Unfortunalty its exactly the same as stereo typing. Because 1 group of people were being dicks, they are representing their sport and will make other people belive that everyone who partakes in that sport is like them. It wont ever end because differnt sports will never see eye to eye, and the common groud they share will allways be slightly swayed towards one perticular sport. Dirt jumps are a prime example. BMXers want short, steep high jumps, Mountain bikers want longer lower jumps. The best thing you cna do is represent your sport as best you can, allways follow the eticate of area your in and dont be a cock
  17. You having a laugh arent you? Seem like you know 2 tenths of f**k all. Average Cambelt Life on an Engine is 40-60,000 Miles. Id love to see you get anywhere near that on a bike. Letalone put the stresses assosiated with running an Internal combussion Engine in there aswell. Gates Make some of the Strongest Belts on the Automotive Market. If a cam belt can survive 40,000 Miles on an Engine With anywhere up to 1000 BHP, then it can withstand some twat on a bike. Also Complete bollocks. Belts Do Not randomly slip on Engines and they are under massive tension. Basic Rule of thumb for cambelt instalation is the Tension it with 1" movement in the longest Part. Yes they can jump when worn, but again we are talking of running an Engine, not a bike. Im not even going to bother pointing out, again, how uneductaed and dumb some of you people are.
  18. I am moving to a new Flat Next Month Which Has a BT Line. So am Looking at What good broadband Providers are out there. Im on Virgin 2MB At the Moment, which is a bit hit and Miss. Sometimes its good, sometimes slow. And It cant cope very well when im on my PC, and the other 1/2 is on her laptop. What im after is something With good consistancy in the speed, and can cope with 2 computers being online without bogging down. I do a fair amount of downloading aswell as playing games on Xbox 360 and PC. Seeing as the Flat has Sky alrady we were thinking of using that for Tv and noticed they do Internet aswell, is it any good? Im after something fater than we have, was looking at the Sky 16MB. I was told to look at http://www.top10-broadband.co.uk, and done a postcode checker and it says the top speed of my line is 6.5MB. Does that mean in tis area, or on this current conection? Dont want to pay for 16MB if im only going to get 6.
  19. If they do start next time, finish the Job. They arent going to leave you alone, so beat them to the Point where they arent getting back up. Or at least close to. Should learn em that if they go round starting shit, they best be prepare to finish it. Sure as hell should learn something if they end up in hospital with broken bones ect. I know violence isnt the Answer, and fighting is wrong, but with people this stupid they will ruin your life unless your stand your ground and show them not to mess with you. Problem is you can get some older bigger guys to "tell" them to leave you alone, but then they can do that aswell. Yet if they Know if they f**k with you their next few meals will be straw bound then they should think twice and leave you be.
  20. Problem is that the Latest update has fixed the loop hole that let you set your own ringtones that arent payed for. Yea its a pain, but for everything else the phone does, and how good it is, im willing to keep with "ring ring"
  21. Went to a mates today to Help him fix His Bike. Hes a Real Old Skool rider (like me). Was repairing his 4 bolt mounts (helicoils) and Fitting a Headset. He needed 1 more Spacer so He could fit the Stem properly, but couldnt find any in his Garage. So we looked in his shed, in the corner of the garden. You know one of those sheds that never gets opened. Looking around we found an Old frame sat behind some bikes. (heres where it gets interesting) It was........... a Leeson Clear 660. This was one of the 1st frames Ever Made By Leeson For Chris Leeson, Who Gave It to Barry Huskinson, Who Passed it on to Dez (current owner) Still Had the Super Wide BB, StraightTorqueStays©, 360 Dropouts, Multi point Mech hanger and Seatpost Stub. In the Nice Light Grey they Used to be. It took us Back many years. Thanks for Sharing
  22. Not if its a new car. Could be a number of things Killing Signal. My Bet woudl be the Imobiliser/Alarm Transponders. Probly Killing the Signal While Searching for theirs
  23. You say that, but if you recived a 2nd hand Bike and The Wheels were slighly Buckled* would you take it to a shop and Knowling pay £40 to have it Sorted before even talking to the Guy who Sold it to you (specialy if you told him before you sent it the Wheels have been trued). Im willing to bet you wouldnt. You would Either be a man, ture it and get on with your life, Be a girl and Ask the Seller if they were buckeld before, and possibly ask them to send a spoke Key AT A PUSH. Or be a complete twat, pay someone £40 for 2 mins work and then send a bill for £77 asking for new parts. How the hell do you Know he Hasnt been out riden it, Badly and done it himself? *(lets face it: 4mm Is Nothing, And Who the Hell measures Rim Deflection when they Ture a Wheel, They dont, they Simply true it)
  24. 3 Simple Words that Should have Been Used at the Sale "SOLD AS SEEN" As long as you havent promised a Mint brand new Bike then They have no leg to stand on. Personly I would keep the BB and Pedals out of principal. If they are going to take the Piss and send them Back expecting to Get a free replacement after buying a 2nd Hand Bike, then They clearly don deserve to Have a BB or pedals. Anyone who Pays £40 to have 2 wheels trued is a complete f**king Mug. Even you Paying £20 to Have them done have had your pants pulled down. 4mm Movement could be taken up in 1, maybe 2 spokes. f**ked If I would pay someone £20 to turn 2 spokes slightly. Dont let someone Take advantage of good Nature. You seem to have been reasonable about it and Offered a Solution. To Which the Buyer has completly taken the Piss and Tryed to Tap you up for £77. My next message to them would along the lines of "Jog on willy, you ain getting Dick" If they are taking the Piss, dont even give them the Curtosy of Helping Pay for Anything
  25. You would be shocked To know how Expencive floor space at a show like that is. The MAD Arena Was a good size, enough to have two riders on the Course together. And I think the Location was pretty Good. Near the Entrance, at the Side (so you werent circled in by others) and Right UNderneath the Restuant Windows, so anyone eating could watch the Riders.
