    On ya mate , not that i'll be riding the hill for a while but on ya !
    Should have signs at either side of the hill that anyone can flip open, To warn others !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Should have a few diesel-sensing landmines up there, it's a fucking disgrace.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    o.. what a surprise...NOT..

    there was a buss in J'Ville SPEWING diesel out all the way from the round-about, up churton park, where it had stopped, leaving a large puddle, then on around Churton park area, there was a cop with a cone marking the large spill, but not the stream.
    pointed this out to Luke, ( was in van) and showed him just how slippery it was.... yes got the van sideways, with little effort, asked him what would happen if i was riding a bike............

    his reaction...

    FU***^!!!

    hope a lesson was lern't...


    what a ride so far!!!!

    Had a young customer come of his scooter a couple of years ago due to a fuel spill by a stage coach bus, stage coach had to pay to replace his scooter, as it was a right off.

    Thanks for the update Dingoz.

    I would have thought with the price of diesel these days they may have been a bit more careful, but I guess not.
