Hi Guys; Came across this little beauty, was just nice to watch how many variations of moves the riders could pull on one ramp. I try to use the same basis when I ride - I can happily spend hours at one bench thinking of ways up and down, across and over...... Be nice to see a trials video produced in this way...... I shall begin the filming Regards Darren

Hello all; I've made a little addition to my Echo, fuelled by my love for tailwhips, bar spins, footjams, etc....... Attached is the photo It hasn't made any difference to the braking, and it's neatened up the front end a little in my opinion...... Getting the star fangled nut in though was another story.......

Parr; Have a look on my facebook. I've got the new one! You commented on my photo. Up for a Lincoln ride soon? I'll come up towards the end of the month? Darren

Old People Moaning; Another little tanget I'm off on here...... Every argument with an old person refers back to the war!! And you don't pay taxes to repair that wall . . And you probably don't work . . etc I never get angry when I'm being had a go at - Staying calm often makes them worse! And it's funny to see them boil I try to explain I'm 28, have been working since 16, and I probably pay more tax than them! So yes I do pay for repairs to wall. I help my parents shopping, give friends lifts, give way at zebra crossings, hold doors open..... BUT OH NO......... Mr Old Man can't and won't accept this... He's right and Im wrong. That's when I generally get bored and turned around and say to him...... or her..... "I'm sorry, I don't speak a word of English" Darren

Yep Echo Pure 09 It's from the batch Tarty recieved on Friday. They haven't had the chance to put any photo's up on their website yet. My only grumble is it has no mounts for cables, but besides that it's lovely. Darren I'm sure I can let you....... Sounds like a plan fella This week sound good? Maybe Fri Evening again? Darren -

Thanks dude. I'm not computer minded, so couldn't figure out how to reduce the file size. Darren -
Afternoon All; I invite you to view my 2nd Girlfriend, 2009 Echo Pure Short. It is displaying a find selection of parts, Magura's, Try All Coco, Echo Urbans, Echo Cranks, DMR Pedals, Trial Tech Bars and Bashplate, 74 Kingz, Maxxis and Continental Tyres. When she's ridden, she is flicky and responsive, and it's fun having magura's again. Weighs next to nothing, but strong as a mother in law. Thanks to Adam and Stan at Tarty for fantastic customer service. This is the bike I will be competing for Think Bikes on in 2009, so I'll see you all on the comp circuit. http://www.facebook.com/editphoto.php?aid=...mp;id=507844463 Regards Darren

Afternoon all..... Right I know this is me getting on a pedestal so to speak, but it's been bugging me more and more recently, that I feel I have to say something to see if I'm on my own on this........ I spend up to 4 hours a day driving for my work, and there's not one, but 2 main things about drivers on the raods that really grinds my gears 1) 40 MPH DRIVERS - NO matter what the speed limit - 20,30,40,50,60,70mph, the only speed these drivers know (Normally old couples in Fiat Panda's, Vauxhall Corsa's,etc) is 40 mph. They never speed up on a long straight to the national limtit, even though there are no obstructions, nor do they slow down in school zone's,etc. They brake about 7 years before any corner, causing a ripple effect with cars laging behind into 2027, and then they have the nerve to flash or beep you if you overtake!! I'm sorry but it's people like this that cause accidents, cause they wind other drivers up - If it's safe to do 60, then bloody do it!! 2) MIDDLE LANE HOGGERS - I spend a hell of a lot of time on the motorway for work, and even more annoying than the 40'ers are these people. Normally going slower than the slow lane, nothing will ever move these people from the middle lane! - This is even if the left hand lane is empty!! The rules of the road clearly state that middle and right hand lanes are for overtaking only!! Whatis with these people??? God forbid if you flash them to tell them to move!!!!! Pedestal movement over and done with! It justreally grinds my gears!!! Anyone else feel the way I do?? Maybe we could start a " You know what really grinds my gears?" thread??? Regards Darren

I would advise against the Saturday . . . Especially in Half Term Canterbury will be manic, and all the good spots will be occupied by shoppers Darren
