Good Evening.... Infidel
Today a mere 27. 11.5 mile loop in and out of marsden... Great ride!
I've said it before and I'll say it on a public forum, you've not let anybody down and certainly not me.lhatkins said:i feel like i have let harry and myself down, though i can not see what other action i could have taken <other than walked over, no dirct bus to harrys>
Tenson said:You guys must ride bloody fast to do that sort of damage! Whenever I ride I don't do more than about 12mph, its no race![]()
lhatkins said:anyone else got any war stories to share?
lhatkins said:not allowed back on the bike for at least 2 months, gutted.
lhatkins said:Dom, nothing to watch dvd's on m8, its all in the bl00dy loft d'oh.
lhatkins said:40mph is suicide imho, you come off at that speed and your road kill for sure. ...brakes on makes the bike behave strangely.... ...never had a bike that didn't do something strange when braking downhill
ya bring plenty of that!domfjbrown said:Oh arse! Oh well, tea and sympathy then eh?![]()
you do have a more mosdern bike than me, cos i am too much of a cheapskate to buy a new one, your bike is scary the handlebars are so short one slight move and your off in a different direction.domfjbrown said:Nah - 39.5 on East Wonford Hill was scarey, but not that bad. having to do an emergency stop so I didn't jump the lights was heinous - my bike appears to behave very well when you whack the brakes on when on downhill runs - hitting Thornepark Rise at 25, then having to brake sharply on the middle part on the blind bends, my bike seems to hold the road like an Austin 1800 "landcrab" of old - but I don't want to tempt fate eh!?
ya that is what worries me the longer i stay off the bike, the longer my confidence will take to recover, the way i feel now i would have no problem getting back on the bike, just hope i will feel the same in 2 months time, but then after 2 months of exeters crappy public transport system i don't think i'll have much problemdomfjbrown said:GOOD NEWS re the collar bone though - nicely! Bummer about the 2 month wait for the bike - by September 18th it's almost time to pack back up and get the bus again!
lhatkins said:get this, i am signed off for 2 weeks but my boss still asked if i can attend a training course next week, it was put to me like "it would be in your interest to attend", is that a threat or what?
