Against Glen?! Not a chance in hell.

Or is it an anagram? Prize for the most comedy anagram of Karsonlevoret...

Well that's me convinced. Sorry but it's true- if I sent you an email saying I was a Nigerian prince who had £12 million which you were welcome to a share of but I needed your bank details to transfer you some of the money to keep it from militants trying to overthrow my regime... would you believe me too?

What do you want? A medal? Sheesh.

But there are so many to choose from...

I do expect the opportunity to digest said username origin one day... monkeyseemonkeydo - T-F's biggest religion hater and faith shooterdownerer? AKA T-F's lost soul...

If that's the case and he was unaware of the damage (possible I guess) I would say that a goodwill gesture of like £20 refund or something would be the best I'd expect... Certainly worth getting in touch with him and see what he says about it though. With regards the front lever I can't see the crack you mean, looks more like marks from where the snapped part of the clamp has rubbed at some point or the damage caused when the clamp actually snapped when it came into sharp contact with something like a brick wall! However, I'm sure you know what you're talking about Matt so I'll take your word that's it's unusable.

Can you get away with running the front brake? As it's not stripped does it actually clamp down? As for the rear brake do you think it was snapped already and just pushed/superglued back on or was it on it's last legs and failed when you tried to use it?

It's purely down to the brake setup. Because the Rip comes with a 20" rear rim the brake bosses are welded to be in the correct place for that rim. If you changed to a 19" rim there's a chance you won't be able to set the brake up properly and the pads may not hit the rim properly. It's a gamble basically.

Quote on group ride overheard by a member of the public: "Oh yeah, I've been riding Manly Asses for the past six months. I love Manly Ass; they're far stiffer and stronger than anything I've ridden before and last for ages."

What's the best bet for parking in Bournemouth?

Phew. So glad you felt the need to share this thread with us all. I can now sleep at night... Muppet.

Pleeeease let Craig deal with the colour schemes and graphics of the upcoming Onza frames! He's now trained in the art of branding so listen to him!

Were they actually new or is he now just clearing out his bedroom? Might try ordering some grips to see if I get an Xbox or something... It's almost like a lucky dip!

Why would you do that? Just why. Also... are you e-stalking him?

He probably knows the car better than anyone but he's been out of racing for 10 years so his racecraft will be very rusty... You'd think Ferrari might do the sensible thing and offer someone else the drive for far better publicity. Valentino Rossi would be amusing to see, although his Yamaha contract would never allow it. Bruno Senna would be another possible which would create a mini media storm.

Ah well.

If you don't know, don't just make shit up. Mmkay?

It's 14 days they have to issue the NIP. Only deviation from that is if you're in a hire car when they have to get your details from the hire company first... Unfortunately I know this through personal experience . Hertz even charged me an extra £80 for the extra paperwork involved. Wonderful. I think after 3 months you can 100% safely say you got off with that one!

Exactly. The reserve is even hooked up to an automatic system so (in the words of the guy I jumped with) worst case scenario if both of his arms fell off when we jumped out the plane, the reserve would still open at a certain, predetermined height. Safe. As. Houses.

Absolutely awesome. The parachuting bit is nothing special but that initial freefall is almost indescribably incredible. In a world of awesome hotdogs and awesome breakfast cereals, that freefall experience truly is überawesome.

I think you do understand Rob... only the other day were you talking about seeing Vince in his boxers!

No, no I don't think so...

You're absolutely right. It's all about how much you tuck while doing it and what boxers you're wearing.

It all depends how much you tuck while doing it.
