  1. Driving suuuuuuuuuucks http://www.bikereader.com/contributors/singer/toons/carattack.jpg
  2. Can't fit it to the front on a KLX, there's a ruddy great rubber damper in the way Your disk lock must be very different from mine then One of these. http://www.sprocketsbikebits.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/270x325/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/f/c/fcvbjnk.jpg And like I said, it's the damper between the hub and the brake disc that makes it a problem, not the type of lock.
  3. Thats why I put mine on the front. Can't fit it to the front on a KLX, there's a ruddy great rubber damper in the way
  4. Saturday NOTD was me - I was in an utterly foul mood and to top it off I managed to press my arm against my exhaust while putting on the disc lock... now got a right nasty little burn on my left arm. Bugger.
  5. Happy Birthday Bob, hope you have a good 'un and get some nice new toys
  6. You have to settle for second prize... no ill-gotten crowdfunding gains, but an extra large helping of NOT A DICKHEAD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_5uVdy5YmA
  7. Throw in Lincolnshire and you've got a deal
  8. Very successful costume Nell, probably the most convincing one there!
  9. Factual error: I've only ever had one person piss in my sink, and they were a Londoner. Can't we (North and South) all just get along on the common ground that them in London are worse than any of us?
  10. CROWDFUNDING FOR BEGINNERS 1. Have daft idea that sounds fun but nobody has ever brought to market because a. Market is too small b. Production costs are too high c. Idea is utterly impractical d. Idea is a stupid novelty that seems like a good idea when reading about it online but nobody will actually buy once it comes out 2. Create basic website that looks very impressive but doesn't actually commit to any proper info. Ask a friend who knows The Photoshops to make some concept images so it looks like you have your shit together. In the "About Us" section, have a small selection of naff photos of you and the friends you've roped in for the ride, giving everyone a job title including the words "Director", "CEO", or "Manager". Grow a silly beard, start wearing flannel shirt. 3. CROWDFUND THE HELL OUT OF IT 4. Spend money of booze and hookers. 5. Occasionally release updates to investors, again using The Photoshops friend (aka Creative Director) to fabricate photos of your 'progress'. HEY GUYS WE'RE MAKING GREAT PROGRESS *insert faked photos of product* BUT NEED MORE MONEYS! 6. Repeat stages 3 to 5 until investors catch on. 7. LOLZ TERMS AND CONDITIONS I AIN'T GOTTA DO SHIT 8. Sell everything you bought along the way and move somewhere new where investors can never find you, and can live off the grid as a self sufficient vegan in a house powered by self satisfaction alone.
  11. So first in mid/late July there was this: http://rideapart.com/articles/investors-remove-skully-founders-company Then at the end of July there was this: http://rideapart.com/articles/bad-worse-skully-systems-goes And then finally it comes to this: http://rideapart.com/articles/lawsuit-filed-skully-founders-accused-spending-corporate-cash-personal-matters ...Anybody the least bit surprised? Crowdfunding at its best right there
