I'm in Stourton - the bloke up there turned the outside lights off, now he's put a new bulb in so it's nice & shiny again

got my previous cars' tracking done at their place on Bradford Road (at the side of the railway bridge) when I lived in St Johns

i'm sure that last bike film released was Torque - that was sh1t , this looks it too

I had done 41 earlier in the ride. It happened on a quiet lane (from High Hoyland towards Clayton West)

nearly came off my racing bicycle at 30+ mph last night was going down a steep hill when I felt a bit of a wobble, wasn't sure if it was front or back wheel at first. Pretty quickly it was clear that it was the front - flat as a fart. So the problem was little control for hard braking but had to try stop to avoid a coming off. A bit of brake = squirm & wobble, but lots of squirm & wobble might mean coming off anyway. tyre is less than half=inch wide which means next to no stability. Sh1tt1ing myself! My thoughts were 'how much bleeding/whats gonna break?' and 'try jump off or stay on?' and 'road vs grass verge?' I'll own up at this point, I've never jumped off a bike in this situation so chose to stay on. Eventually stopped at least a quarter of mile down the hill. Checked the tyre, no visible damage so tried to pump it up - no good. I knew Liz was out & my phone is at home anyway, so no pick up - had to leg it home. Its a bit awkward walking in clip-on cycling shoes, took an hour to get home. Well this morning put things into perspective with Dustin Hofmann's line from Rain Man ' excellent rider, yeah, yeah I'm an excellent rider, yeah ...' ;D anybody do anything exciting last night?

Father-in-law & his other half have an Octavia each - both pleased with them

nobody will beat my wife's - Pug 405 td cost nothing (her dad gave it to her) and does between 50-55 mpg. OK not the quickest, but so what - it's saves the pennies? while we have had it, it has cost 11p per mile (considering fuel, insurance, tax - the lot!). Do you want something fancy?

flippin' heck Monkey, you see all sorts on your little rides out don't you

You beat me to that one - I think it was the first film shown on Ch5 !? lots of cars 'n' gorgeous girly Sherilyn Fenn (at least at the time I thought corrrrr - I remember a couple of scenes where she was a little 'exposed' ) Am sure it is the only film to feature an Ozzy song 'Secret Loser' - correct me if I'm wrong. That reminds me I haven't listened to any Ozzy for ages

wahay Monkey snack wagon - have you got a sign so it can easily be found

btw Dangerous Dave is my nickname at work, just because of a couple of little bike crashes. It is wrong though - I am quite safe!

? haven't seen him or his car in ages'n'ages'n'ages & when I pass his house his supra must be safely tucked up in the garage

silver M --- --- going towards Leeds , near where Leeds Road passes over M1 sorry no more detail - you went by too fast (was on my bicycle)

£50 weekly shop for us (1 daddy, 1 mummy & a 1 year old), Liz set up a spreadsheet of the regular stuff then she just does a filter&sort , hey presto shopping list that she keeps to & knows exactly how much things cost. Cash shopping only. Also, we get some things from farms instead of the supermarket. we had to because after the birth of our son she left work (much happier now), but as a result my Celica has gone along with one of my motorbikes.

Happy Birthday

lovely bike pictures ..... where's the tissues, had a little accident with my wotsit!

poor little green bugger - all he's good for now is mopping up

for about 5 minutes in Stourton - what's all the fuss about?

nah rubbish, my x-reg ZX6R-j1 is the best looking bike! had it for 3 years nad haven't wanted anything else. just got it out on Friday after the winter lay-off (been on the Kat since November), reeeeally enjoyed myself btw ... our son is 8 months old and Liz said she'd be horrified if he ever wanted one - so listen son don't tell your mother!

so nobody bringing cakes in - tight bugg3ers

congratulations our son is nearly 8 months - tiring but a pleasure

... with tabasco sause, but makes your gob stink so no good-night snog from the other half

i work in foreign dept of a bank am at work at mo. - just been talking to a japanese bloke in Tokyo. anyway to sum him & the conversation up 'velly porite man, but bruddy hard work'
