Shit hornet maybe it should b you shoutin me the drinks lol

Sorry, you have a snowballs chance of that I'm afraid lol.

Quite a venerable resume you have there. One would presume then, with such vast experience that you would certainly be able to tell a good bike from a dog, and yet a certain bike shop mentioned gratuitously on this site would give the rspca a run for it's money it seems. Ironic isn't it.....

Incidentally, if you check the website rules, bike shops are supposed to have their own login identity for advertising purposes.

Been doing these rides since 2008, so no I wouldn't call myself a nubee, it was actually a lot of fun back then, no leaders, tec's and choice of destination on the night and there was usually a choice of two if you didn't want to do the main ride.

Excellent! Good to hear, but are you going to stop at the pub afterwards and mingle with us mere mortals?

Was sad to see you go ripping past last week without saying HI, and being chased by a silver bee is no excuse! For either of you!

Ah, I may be able to shed some light on the apparent snobbery and hope that Cruza will forgive me for posting it since he is a humble type and not prone to making a fuss. This report may seem like total bollocks and I would not believe it myself had I not seen it with my own eyes.

As I was rounding a corner on the downward leg to Duvauchelle, I saw what appeared to be a wild or mad pig bound from the roadside bushes towards Cruzas bike! Cruza tried to fend it off with his boot but missed and the thing snapped its frothing jaws and bit off his left footpeg. It then spun around and disappeared back into the undergrowth, dropping the footpeg in the process. Hornet, Mully & myself, who were following, were totally stunned as Cruza, looking like a seasoned speedway pro, recovered from the attack and calmly screeched to a halt.

To assist Cruza, who was somewhat shaken and now had no left footpeg, we rigged a bungy from his left boot up and around his neck and down to the d-ring of his right glove. Although this scheme kept his foot off the road, it had the unfortunate side effect that whenever he opened the throttle, the tension in the bungy caused his leg to rise slightly, forcing an upshift. When that happened, the bike would slow and Cruza would open the throttle even more to compensate. Had we serrendipitously invented the worlds first automatic motorcycle transmission or just a very cheap upshifter ???

By the time they got back to Little River, Hornet was concerned that the bungy around Cruza's neck might have caused him to asphyxiate slightly and so was riding shotgun to make sure he was still in control and not in some unnatural state of pleasure. Any thought of stopping for a beer was totally inappropriate as you will appreciate...

x2

Work is pretty demanding and the last thing I want when I get a night free is any stress.

I thought the WNR was sorta a good buggers club but the online shenanigans are unpleasent reading

Cos its the internet bro.

It just is, much the same way as buttered toast always landing butter side down. No one knows why it happens, but it always does.
