Ricky

I'll be camping f**king boss won't let me have Saturday morning off so it would seem I am turning up Saturday afternoon, bollocks...

Will be a late arrival for me due to work Be good to see all of you again

Happy birthday you old fart!

Very nice! Hope you're enjoying it I'm going to malia on Tuesday

Awwwwwwwwwwww that's awesome, give me it please Can't wait to see it in the flesh at the end of the month

That's pretty darn awesome Bob, nice one

Cheers stu

I'll be stealing it

If you're turning up on an R3, don't expect to be leaving on it

The fancy dress hasn't even crossed my mind yet, haven't a clue what to wear, might just come as a 'Ricky'

Happy birthday you old codger! Have an awesome day

Most likely shagged, not even worth the labour trying to find what's wrong when you can pick an engine up for 550 quid with only 5700 miles http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 1724871659

Cheers guys I suppose it's not for too long and it gives me more motivation not to f**k up again Hey soll the route I went this morning had some rocky/bumpy terrain and I'm not sure that the smaller tyres would cope as well through it thank you so much for the offer though, I made it in 45 minutes, 4 minutes less than that sat nag said and I stopped to put my waterproofs on

The ride in was f**king dreadful half way there it starts to piss down, luckily I had my waterproofs in my bag and spare change of socks but my hair, face and hands were soaking, and the great thing is, now I'm at work the bast*rd sun has come out!

Don't tell me that now! Just about to set off, let's hope I get there and the bike doesn't end up being thrown in a ditch

Costs nearly 10 quid a day and it's not a direct bus, I would have to still walk a mile from the bus stop

Thanks for your advice guys, don't have a tyre pressure guage at home so I'll do it at the fuel station tomorrow, they're not that accurate so I've heard so I'll pump it to 5 PSI below max just to be safe Actually all my tools are at my grans so I'll do it right now, need to stretch my legs ready for tomorrow anyway and raise the seat height Wish I could afford a newer pushbike but This month is going to be ridiculously expensive as it is and I'm hoping I'll never have to use the thing again after this month, but I said that 3 years ago when I finally got a moped/bike thing and look where I am now

Upgrade to 1.2" skinnies and you'll find it a lot easier - I recommend Michelin or Panaracer (they've been a rock solid brand for the last 25 years - I was riding on Panaracers back in '89/'90 and they are still a top quality tyre). Also, upgrade the jockey wheels in your rear mech (if it is a crappy one). You will definitely notice the difference! Keep the bike well maintained and well lubricated. Strip the bottom bracket and hubs (you'll need a cone spanner set and a chain whip - neither costs much, and probably a BB tool), re-grease and reassemble. You will DEFINITELY notice the difference! Those changes will make the max difference for min cost. And after that, it's just a case of getting the legs used to it - pain is just weakness leaving the body! Really wish I could afford to spend money on it but I have to spend a further 135 this sunday for my MOD 1 an nearly 200 quid the following week for my mod 2, so Money at the moment is incredibly tight Is there a certain method to setting my seat up properly?

I think it's a mountain bike, it has big chunky tyres And shorts like those tight spandex things that bradley wiggins wear?! And I'm downloading strava as I type, I think that might make it a little more interesting, downloading some new music too, can't think of anything else that might make it a little more enjoyable

So yeah, I have to ride my old shitty push bike which has been sat in the garage for 3years+ until I pass my A2, because the idiot in me thought I'd pass first time so I sold my YZF... Anyway I took it out for about a half mile ride to make sure everything still worked, it all did but my legs feel like jelly, sweating like hell and I feel like a tosser I have to ride it 18 miles on total a day, there and back and was wondering if their was anyone on here that has had to do a similar thing and will I get used to it?

Going to see Ms moo and Mr Fozzie at the same time so it may be spread over 2 days so won't be as bad

I'm up for this, depending on the weather and how my tests go this week

Cheers guys

What the hell?! :lol: Thanks I guess moo!
