  1. Erotic?! I must say, I'm not especially aroused by it
  2. Gearbox - Second gear crunch will either be a lack of oil, or a knackered synchromesh due to a prolonged lack of oil/driving like a tool, try topping the oil up first off, if that doesn't cure/improve it, chances are it's just gonna get worse and worse til it dies in a spectacular guts on road fashion. Brakes - Do they feel spongy, or does nothing happen at all? Any worrying noises? Whip the wheel off, have a look at the pads, new pads have about a CM of padness, old pads will be down much closer to the metal backings, also check the discs for lips and scoring, if discs and pads seem in order, check your actual brake fluid level - top up accordingly. If all of the above are in order, try bleeding the brakes. If all of those fail to improve you'll need to be looking at your servo's and such, which I'm not so hot on... Steering - You realise steering will always be easier at higher speeds? First off check the tyre pressures. Does it have power steering? If so check fluid level again if it's not that maybe a faulty pump. If it has no power steering then eat more spinach to deal with menouvers. If it's wondering off without you, it's almost certainly the tracking Wobbling will be unbalanced, or buckled wheel(s) or warped brake disc(s) Oil light - Check your oil level (dipstick should be easy to find under the bonet - usually has a bright coloured handle) top up accordingly. If the oil level is fine, then I would suspect a dodgy pressure sender Out of interest, what car is it?
  3. I've got a Ryan Leech signatue frame in the shed, gonna rebuild it with suspension at some point, bottom bracket was always WAYYY too low for the rigid forks that came with it Building up a Hawzee rep atm though
  4. It was either because I saw 'Tricks & Stunts' or because I saw all the local riders, I don't know which happened first...
  5. I saw it on friday at a 'Skins' party! I say saw, more just glanced at.. Thought it was kinda sad people had gone to a bar, to a big party, to stand and watch TV... Folk were filming it on camera phones and everything
  6. What a daft idea... Oil and water will just seperate, use one or the other!? I've always used water, even when I actually used to ride 6 years ago, works a treat for all the reasons already given
  7. Hahahaha Nice idea, 'til you think about it for longer than 1second, then suddenly realise the only people you're going to look 'cool' to - a maximum of 9514 people... Mostly guys, the rest of the world are gonna think you're a loser for advertising a forum on your clothing Stickers, not such a bad idea though...
  8. Rik Mayall - Guys a legend David Attenborough - I could listen to him aallllll day, imagine the bedtime stories! Brad Pitt - hey he's hot Just hope there'd be no consummation involved
  9. Also had to practically mute it, riding was pretty repetitive... Not the best video ever, but good effort
  10. Woaahh, that is one pig ugly frame!
  11. I'm surprised modern trials bikes don't have wheels that wide already Mate has one of those tyres on the back on his PX aswell, takes the piss
  12. Street all the way, although natural is much more of a challenge, I just prefer the clean edges and block obstacles of street Plus street is 100x better to watch as it's alot easier to relate to the size of things, it amazes me seeing people hopping up post/phone boxes, don't get quite the same WOW factor seeing someone sidehop up a big rock...
  13. Actually, thinking back, best gloves I can remember using were some £10 Specialized body geometry ones, were only £10ish aswell
  14. Gloves are gloves, I go with whatever's cheap as they usually wear out on the thumb areas pretty quick for me whatever the brand Suppose it was a bonus I picked up some Fox gloves for <£10 from the US when I bought some other bits
  15. Ok, lets post it in the girl trouble thread, it might make me feel better ha! I was going out with this girl for about 2 years, (and for about 3 months a year before that) in the end she was such a mardy, selfish, cheating, inconsiderate bitch I had to end it before she destroyed me, this was November 2006. We were kinda still 'seeing' each other til September 2007 at which point she got another boyfriend, fair enough. We still spoke, txt and saw each other occasionally - as friends. Now she barely talks to me at all, which kinda breaks me, especially when the rare occasion she does txt me it's to tell me she misses me, and her new man is a dick and such... Now, it's not like I can't get another girl, I have been with other girls since, but I'm not so bothered about anyone else, it's my ex I really want, and when she tells me she misses me and stuff it makes me think that maybe it could be fun again and we could be good, but then she just straight f**ks me off every time and doesn't speak to me again for months, and I know that's what will happen but I still go for it I know I should just forget her, I know she's a bitch, but it just makes me want her more God damn!
  16. Cheapest way - have your parents insure it go on their insurance as a named driver, but not many places offer no claims for named drivers, so you'd be conning yourself in the long run Best way - have a good shop around, best place I found for my first car was Liverpool Victoria, also try putting as many experienced (and preferably female) drivers on your policy aswell, as it makes quotes from some places LOADS cheaper, saved myself £1000's doing that over the years Pics of the car?

    The Worst Music

    Anything Ska, it all breaks me
  18. If you had no trouble with you old one, then get another the same I always ended up raping cheap ones and rounding them off, so I bought a parktool one
  19. Or try the Tricks and Stunts method? Rather than try and hop straight away, just do the - You'll get it in the end
  20. Practice makes perfect! If you're kicking the bike from under you, drop the front a little and/or don't kick so hard!
  21. Psshh, oldskool, they were new out when I stopped riding aswell...
  22. That was ashtons latest bike when I stopped riding *adds Union Jack DCD to shopping list* < never could find one of those, or a crud catcher that says 'CRUD' on the underside...
