EDIT: Or what Helen said. What say ye?

As for my bikes, one of them has a kick start (and it's a bitch to start when it's cold too!!)

I vote for diamond harbour.

I used to have kick starts but they rooted the soles of my boots.

diamond harbour sounds good

**phoenixgtr** · 18th March 2009, 07:30

Yeah, I'm with you guys. I'd rather go to Diamond Harbour

**McWild** · 18th March 2009, 15:12

So... does that mean that since my 50cc randombrand 4 stroke scooter IS a real motorbike?

Diamond harbour will be the go for me tonight. Just got it back from the shop now (front brake problems blahblah) so keen for a route I know.

Providing I grow a pair and actually come tonight. That would be a lot more than the last few weeks hahaha.

Remember if something on it doesn't break at least once a month, it's not a real motorbike!

Or it's a good investment, whatever...

Thats right Andrew

Remember if it doesn't have a kickstart and something doesn't break on it at least once a month it isn't a real motorbike.

There we finally have the real definition!!! At last!!

Andrew proved he has a real motorbike tonight please tell me he got home safely!!!

Great ride over to Diamond Hbr. Stimulating conversations. Hope everyone got home safely

Yeah good run over to DH tonight, good to catch up although not enough time to get around everyone.
Not many of these left so better make the most of them

C ya next week

**fireliv** · 18th March 2009, 20:51

Great ride! Good to have you back on my tail to WOFman!@!!

**McWild** · 18th March 2009, 21:19

Well. Not much I can really say about that.
Thank you so much to everybody who pulled over and who helped get me sorted. Words can seriously not express my gratitude right now, I'm just amazed. All of you are awesome.

I did get home safely, better than that in the comfort of Flip's truck, next to Ted his obedient and awesome dog. While all of you poor fools were outside on your so called "motorbikes" I was sitting down comfortably and with a seatbelt! Hah! Feel sorry for me? I feel sorry for you!

But again seriously thank you, and Duane's will be getting a phone call tomorrow morning.

For anyone not in the know, my front brake caliper came clean off after I've just spent the last couple of weeks getting a new disc and pads. This was just outside Teddington, I heard a small clunk, a big clunk, a scrape, and then I had no front brake. Naturally, I pulled over, swore numerous times, and waved my arms frantically in the air. You know, all those reasonable, thought out reactions.

Now if you'll all excuse me I'm going to bed. Thank you all again, hope I can give you beer or something sometime.

**gloplg** · 18th March 2009, 21:32

Good to hear you are home safe.

A big up for Phil for getting you home.

Just as well you ride "motorbike" and not a "two wheeled armchair" like Phil. Be too heavy to lift onto the truck. See you next Wednesday!!!!
