  1. Comedy replies from Wankio

    My 2 pence

    Why would you want trials to be bigger? From observation, sport becomes more popular, more people get involved, big companies see the potential and start to invest and everything becomes mass marketed and 'MTV' like. Next thing you know, you have some bint with a chronic tit job being all 'super' and 'amaaaazing' whilst some kid with loads of piercings falls of an oil drum pulling a 'gnarly move'.

    Examples - Freeriding, Freestyle Motocross. Both are now comedy to watch just for the sheer amount of cheese spouted everytime it's on TV.

    Keep trials small, keep companies rider-owned and keep the dick-heads out.

  2. Thankyou for all your kind words.

    I mostly agree with what's been said by several people, as do the police. He is being charged with dangerous driving, and its been worked out by the accident investigators that he was doing 50mph on the corner when he lost control. I don't know how fast that makes it when we hit the tree, but I know we didn't have long to stop, and I certinally don't remember hearing the brakes lock up.

    It has certainly shit me up, and I wasn't even the one driving, so I have no idea what he is going through. I agree that he shouldn't have been driving like a dick, but we all know everybody does it...just this time we got caught out. I'm more than sure he's learnt his lesson. Seeing his girlfriend trapped in the car destroyed him. Hell, it broke my heart, and I'm not the one who's been with her for four years.

    I'm looking forward to being able to walk and breathe properly again, because at the minute, my insides are so bruised, I have to walk like an old man, and it hurts to breathe and laugh :(

    I know Ami's gone back into hospital again today to be plastered up, and I am going round her's tomorrow, so I'll send her all your good wishes.

    Thanks again...means alot.

    Bad luck, and I hope you and the lady heal quickly.

    As for your mate, well, he's got it on his conscience. I just hope he's not one of these twatty chav's that shows off about it to his mates about and continues to drive like a w@nker. From what you've put, this would appear not to be the case. Fingers crossed eh

  3. Alright Adam

    Yeah, cheers for turning up last night. Didn't realise that I was that rubbish! :lol:

    Forks are on order today, although I think I might get some decent sus forks as I'm a bit of a girl. I'll be in reading at some point next week, I'll pm you nearer the time (prolly wednesday) if you fancy a ride

  4. Late/short/no notice but tonight myself and a number of others that pretend to ride will be out and about in the ex-scaffolding capital of the UK, MILTON KEYNES

    7 o'clock at the station - I'll be getting naked in a red audi estate. You're welcome to join in but I'd advise against it (the getting changed/naked bit, not the ride bit).

    Don't say i didn't warn you

  5. Posted a pic a while ago on a thread somewhere (how vague am I) about something but I've since updated my 'whip' - dropped the double disc setup at I kept looping out and I'm currently trying to ruin some hadley hubs which is nice. Oh, and its got new bars, stem, cranks and some other stuff. And HOW much do hookworms weigh!

    Yes its heavy, yes its not that good for trials, or dirt, or park or anything really and yes those forks do piss oil like your mum does coke but I like it. Well, maybe 'like' is a bit strong. I tolerate it

  6. Mr Karsonlevoret - thats about the most reasoned argument I've ever seen on a web forum, well done sir

    I think its the 'shoot all queers' comments that bother me the most on here, and especially the AIDS comments. Fair enough, you don't like the thought of two men kissing (but I bet two girls kissing gets you off) so consequently, in your mind they should die - do you really mean that? I can't stand people smoking (which to be fair has more of an effect on me than two men kissing) so should they die of Cancer?

    What other circumstances do you apply this logic to? Mixed marriages? Transgender? Short ginger people?

    Rich, I don't know you or want to know you for that matter but your comments are offensive, whether they are made to a gay audience or not. Although I'm sure varied opinions are welcome, yours is ignorant badly informed tripe and could certainly be classed as discrimination. I for one would ban you for life. You're a cock.

    Needs a clean but its one of the last colour concepts. 60k and full heated leather. That said I sold it last weekend so it doesn't count

    Is it VW only or can we include other VAG stuff (I've just got an A4 avant turbo)?

  8. I'm sooooo old

    I'll be 36, 10 years into the mortgage I've just got with another 20 to go. Hopefully still with my lady and hopefully not doing Data warehousing in SQL but something a bit more fulfilling

    I'll still be riding bikes though, by which point it'll have been 33 years of pushing the pedals.......

  9. I used to use double discs on my bike but hit a number of problems with it

    a) hydro discs are a pain in the arse if you have to take wheels in and out a lot. Forget the spacers when its in the back of your car and its new bleed and, if they're hope, new pads as well

    B) I kept bending discs as I side-hop better to my left.

    c) I couldn't get them to bite as well as a maggie.

    Got pissed off in the end and put a maggie on it.

    Nice frame, had the opportunity to get some made up recently but needed to do some research. Hence I'd also be interested in where to download the software

  10. Sounds about right to be honest

    Try getting the parts from somewhere like German Swedish & French (gsfcarparts.com) and getting your local dad/mechanic/back street garage to do it. French cars (in my experience) are a b*****d to work on and dealership parts prices (which is what a normal garage will charge you for even if they are not) are a joke.

    Also, if you know what parts you need specifically, then use 247spares.co.uk. Enter the part you want on a request form, put your mobile number in and submit it. Breakers then call you with the part you need and give you a price including delivery. I've used this for golf parts and it works really well and doesn't take a lot of effort.

  11. My mate, who happens to be black, finds the term 'blacks' derogatory - think about it, would you stand in a crowd of people from varying origins and refer to them as blacks? Plus, look at the context he's written it in.

    Read it into it whatever you like, I personally think he could have worded it better.
