Gay Question

[willdasexybeast]

hello people i know this is not the best of topics but im fed up with the amount of people that ask me where my bikes seat is. i think i might type out my explanation and keep it with me whenever i ride because i ahve 2 explain it so many times a day it drives me crazy.

this also tells me that with the amount of people that ride trials it is still a very limited audience and we need to somehow advertise it more and try and get more trials shows on t.v. maybe do a trials version of drop in or something. this would bring more people to recognise the sport and raise awareness of the fact that you do not have a seat on a trials bike.

thanks for reading

Just tell them why. It's a perfectly good question as most bikes do have seats.

I hate that question it does my head in and all i say is i don't need it and most people say oh. But you usually get some idiot saying don't you ever need to sit down or why don't you need a seat and that makes it worse! but you will get used to it i sort of have.

Cheers BIG L

Zoo baby!

remember that bloke the other day, in that convertable audi

heres the jist of it

the bloke: oi mate you dropped your seat down there

dave: no its up your fat arse, and get a real f**king tan you retard (didn't say it loud enough to hear but still damn funny)

me: oi mate you lost your roof, its trailing behind a lorry

[Robwalker]

You could tell them why but it gets very boring to keep repeating yourself 4-5 times a day especial in places where theres big crowds like in london ect. I was talking to some mates about getting a leaflet that explains and it is a very good idea, however just not very practical as i'm sure most people wont want to take the time to read it and it will most probally be discarded.

And the whole trials awareness thing is a problem as well. I can see where your coming from but now days where trials bikes are getting cheaper and cheaper i've noticed that there has been a sudden influx into the sport. Ok so only maybe 15-20% of those riders go onto progress but it is still showing growth in the sport. And with the crap that you find on Eurosports today, i'm sure it wont be long before some international trials events start getting coverage. Hopefully. And about the drop in thing, i mean there are things like that, that do go on like the big summer road trip, however as the majority of people in the trials scene also have to work its just not possible to get a whole tv crew to come out and film. Its a very expensive thing to do and who knows as the sports value increases this may mean that we can get something along the lines of DropInTV. The main limit is money, and i'm sure once there is enough inflow the sport will start to progress rapidly and then everyone will understand why we don't have a f-in seat!

Well thats my thoughts anyway.

I wish i'd of shouted 'oi mate dale winton wants his sun tan back..toss pot'

Fair point though it must be a shock to see a bike with no seat on...you just have to laugh and tell them about the things it HAS got i.e : Sharp as feck brakes,Strong wheels (in most cases) it's light weight,good geometry (again in most cases) and also doesn't have a kn*b head riding it (although this isn't always true sadly)

zoo baby!

[Ben Cox]

"oi mate, wheres your seat at?"

"i only had the money for wheels or a seat, i made my choice and im stand by it!"

[N.Wood]

If they're nice about it, be nice back. They may be interested in gettign their children into trials or summat, so don't be an arse.

Just because you've heard it a million times, they don't know that.

However if they're clearly taking the piss then whatever.

amen to that brother , if someone genuinly(sp) asks why its hasnt got a seat, ill give em a little talk about the pro's and con's of not having a seat and if theyre really lucky maybe a little demonstration

but if there arseholes, i dont hold back

Ben

[basher]

i say that i havnt got to that part in the magazine yet lol. and i also have wrote on the back of my helmet if u find my seat please call .................

but yeah it is a very annoyin question, but theres loads of other annoyin questions like do a backflip or put some oil on your brakes. but you get over it and carry on rideing

[tom tom]

yeah too right! if they are are alright about it and are generally asking just give a ncie simple explination, but if its a random chav taking the piss just well yeah.

chav : "ers ur seat m8?!?"

me : "chav chaved it"

chav : "owd u no it wer a chav?"

me : "because he chaved it"

what annoys me is that the majority of trials frames dont even have a place for it to go i ride a python and it would look bollucks if i did, and i dont really have a seat tube either

if someones genuinly interested you can do a big hop upwards like a sidehop but straight up and tuck so your bolloxs almost touch your back wheel and say...... picture if i had a seat then..... nasty

but if there c**ts be a fanny back

[Rebelistic]

Perhaps it's worse having a mini seat as people always say "you must have a small arse" .

Maybe it's a compliment though

Still I prefer the look of a bike with a seat even if it is not really used while riding.

[monty221pr]

tell them that their mum is using your seat as a D*LDO

[ashby-trials]

tell them that their mum is using your seat as a D*LDO

i bet your mum does that

[ramps]

hudson, i noticed a few problems with your post, 'put some oil on your brakes' is not a question. This question does piss every one off, there is no doubt about it. It's rare I even give people an answer, I don't want to be spoken to and they may remember next time they see me I am an ignorant twat and won't bother me again.

[boris_on_trials]

Tell them it shrunk in the rain. I was on the way home and some tramp tryed to give me a seat and seat post. Thats pritty annoying when a homeless person that has nout wants to give you something. Made me feel well guilty so i gave him 2p

[Egg Fried Rice]

just say

"i dont like things up my arse"

[Dan6061]

I either say my bikes wayy too cool for a seat.

Or I actually tell them why it doesn't have one.

I guess they underdtand when they see me ride...

[sunn_bmixx]

You could just say the reason and get on with it. I don't think it is a very good approach to promoting the sport, as you were saying you would like to make the sport more known to the public.

So, consequently, I suggest you just tell them, it only takes like 30 seconds and then you ride again and the majority of public enjoy watching trials and would like to know more about it, which in turn is what you want to do.

Thanks

Just tell them why. It's a perfectly good question as most bikes do have seats.

Just what I was thinking. If someone asks, its because they don't know. The only way to spead the sport is to not be a cocky b*****d with the public. MAD team for example, I'm guessing they do get comments on every single demo about their bikes but they don't turn around and give them a mouthful.

I do get old men come up to me and say 'ohh, thats a girls bike, wheres your seat?' but I don't throw an orgasm about it, old men joke, it what they do because they can't do much else. Does it seriously take much effort to tell them?

Although looking at the replies on this forum, most of the comments like "Yea, I insult them cos I'm dead 'ard" come from younger teens...by bet is that they don't say this stuff at all. We're really not impressed by the fact your a fanny to everyone you meet...well done, it'll get you nowhere other than hospital one day.

[tom tom]

i was riding home today from riding and these chav's with a fat pigion (bird/girl but she was mank) walk past and said:

fat girl chav: "hahaha that boy aint got no seat"

me: *shouts accross the road in sarcastic mannor* "hahahahaha!?!"

fat girl chav: " dont that ert ur bolluks?"

me: "no, why?!? does it hurt yours?!!!"

fat girl chav: "no i aint got one!"

me: "you got 2 or 3 then?? "

fat girl chav: "no! but you got one on your head"

me: "then to answer you question no!, no it doesnt hurt my bollucks when i ride as i dont sit on my face although you might as your head is up your arse!"

the thing is th insult she made turned out to not make sense
