Anyone up for a ride on Sunday 6th???

[Mr Skid]

OHH yeah so sorry for smashing up your bike Paparazzi! That fishing nylon must empty out the pockets! Realy sorry.. do you think i could pay it off in weekly installments?? :spudwhat:

Wanker!

Na it's ok, I've always got a heap of fishing line and cable ties on me most of the time - I occationally need to refresh the other bits of fishing line and cables ties holding other bits of my bike on/together.

And your right, I'm going to have to get some new knee sliders - I had some nice looking ones that came with my suit, wasn't thinking and went a bit too fast in a couple of corners, and now they're all scratched.

[Riff Raff]

Yes I realise this.. oh the torment...
ummm you mean "ride" bikes right??

Ummmm, you can ride whatever you like! But I think in this case I was talking about bikes!!!

P.S. Do yous reckon I have another ride left in the rear tire? (have a look at the pic, no it's not from a burnout).

Hmmm, I could do a big mumsy-type nag here, but I will just shake my head instead. Sudeep you are a worry! Just remember, if I have to scrape you off the road, I will be putting very big needles into you!!!
Reprimand over

Listen, you've met me, you know I'm a relatively decent guy and that I've got nothing against you, so don't get upset, but:

Riding on that tyre, at those or ANY speeds is irresponsible and immature... Jeezes you guys have JUST got your full. Yes, I know you're great on the track, but take it easy - you're not invincible. I still think that there are great cases of confidence exceeding ability, not only with this event...

Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to see you, or any other of you crazy Orks hurt, or more likely killed.

PS: Yes, yes, yes, I've STILL got jeans as riding pants, what's your point

I'll back you up on that one - just plain fucking stupid I'd call it...getting close to what we call a ''zipper'' a modern sports tyre is really thin when they get that low.If a vehicle comes into my workshop like that I have the power to call in the cops and get a sticker slapped on it as unroadworthy.It's not a calculated risk to ride with a tyre like that...just plain fucking stupid!

You speak the truth, so why would I get upset?

Tire looked OK before the ride, during lunch, it looked pretty worn but it still had rubber through out the tire. After that, I had to get home early in time for work so I upped the pace a bit and shot off back to Auckland with Arven. Only when I parked the bike on the driveway did I realise the tires true state. Am I stupid for doing that as Motu put it? Yes. That was my mistake, I will know better in the future.

Peace.

Yea, come to think of it. You'r right. It wasn't me, it was the road. The road I tell ya!

Awesome Pace yesterday BTW VTR! (hey cool, I didn't know that spelt out VTR as well lol)

Good thing I didn't post a pic of the last person to have the tire at the same state eh?

hahaha... I was suggesting that as the rubber started to peel and revealed rubber with a different colour that it might be down to the rubber for the steel casing.... guess we know now! :P I am sure you won't do that again soon!...

ermm imagine the sparks!
