dann2707 Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I genuinely have no idea what these cars are when you say them. For all I know you could just be swapping back and forth with someone for these two cars. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 21 hours ago, SamKidney said: Sounds like you ended on good terms, which is something in itself. My one regret surrounding my last relationship is that it ended in quite the opposite way, and in hindsight I wish it hadn't. I don't regret that it ended, it just wasn't meant to be. You seem a decent guy. Keep your self busy and surround yourself with friends, you'll be okay. Cheers Sam. Any particular reason why you wish your old relationship ended better? After all, it doesn't really change things now does it? Spent the night with a girl I've been sort of going out with for the past few months. We've been seeing each other for 10 years now, usually to discuss important life events and offer support to each other. She was the first person to take me in after the breakup last year. She makes me feel happy and that's comforting but it was also a very disturbing experience in itself. It's so strange after all those years being with someone who feels totally different. Need to stay positive and handle things one at a time, keep an open mind, not judge or compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: when I say bitterness I don't aim it at your post, I mean at my situation with her at the time. Just re-read that and it reads as if I'm lashing out at you, not intended!

Paperclip Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Not so much angry though I thought I'd post anyway. Arranged a job today on Monday. It was classed as urgent so I called Monday with no answer then sent a text. Got a reply saying that Wednesday was best for them. Ideally afternoon. Goes today 50 mins from my local area. Each way. Knocks on the door to be ignored, knocked harder knowing someone was clearly in and then again even harder. To have the door opened and her shouting at me saying "what do you want?" I said that I'd been sent via the landlord and that I'd spoken with her (the lady shouting) to arrange today. She denied all knowledge and continued in a raised voice to slag off me for waking her up and the landlord asking for my details and to report me for just turning up. I got out my phone and called the number I'd text and as soon as her phone rang I said "you're getting a call out bill of £45.00 via the estate agent for wasting my time which will have to be arranged before I come back to do any work on the property" then closed her door and walked away. I'm annoyed at it more so because it delays things as I now have to go back and I could be elsewhere doing other stuff I've planned. People are just painful!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I sprained my ankle pretty good last weekend and it's bloody torture being sat in this office seeing how sunny it is outside knowing I can't go ride, or walk properly anyway. Months of riding around in the dark and wet and then I go and screwed myself up just when things pick up. Really stressed out about it though with my history of ligament damage, I should have quit years ago probably... The forth trials video I've been working on has effectively been 4 years in the working with nothing to show for it. I'll just quit when I've finally made that, thought about it to much to not try it. Injuries are a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 so after fudging my perfect rear brake, i installed a smaller rotor and began to make progress, bedding that in, i then use a water bottle which i assumed had only ever had water in it to douse my brake, turns out it previously had some kind of sugary drink which has completely ruined the pads as they now stick like shit to a blanket. so the BB7 now has a shafted rotor, and useless pads, I've done a full circle and put my 180mm bb5 back on the rear and I'm £45 lighter. fan f**kING tastic. oh well new month soon, ill try again then.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Boil the pads in some water/ bake them in the oven/ spray them with brake cleaner and set fire to the f**kers to clean them up. Sugary drink remnants won't have contaminated them badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Or keep flushing the brake with water and dragging it, that should work unless you have a layer of toffee on your rotor and pads I'd keep anything other than water away for the brake unless it's absolutely necessary.

Herbertlemon102 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Now that I've moved back onto a normal trials bike, I've finally realised how much of my riding "ability" was being able to bunnyhop up big stuff and spin. My balance is shocking, and that really, REALLY upsets me. I guess that was the point of moving back to a normal bike, to actually improve.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 The pictures of the paramedics helping the attacker... I just couldn't do it. I think I'd just be repeatedly punching him in the balls until he bled out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
