...Ya better hold the sympathy mate......tiger & I had run a, (slightly),red light...(in 'Beach rd' terms it was redish )...........but the absolute audacity of these people to think they can 'walk' just cos a little green sign says they can.......geez!.......problem was neither of us saw them until it was too late...& they did say sorry about 100 times, (even though they had nothing to be sorry for)......whats the emotican for sheepish?

Hitchy

My worst:

cracked rib, REALLY fukn badly bruised shoulder, very slight concusion. I had to tie a rope
to the wardrobe so I could pull myself out of bed with my "good" arm




I cannot BELIEEEVE i whined like a little girl when they made it compulsory to wear helmets -- I won't even ride the 800m to the milk bar without one.

...it was a p!sser of a thread, i can't believe the mods missed it for so long...the gist of their blew is in here

ultra-g sent slvoid a PM in reply & then posted it to a thread.

Hitchy


EDITED...nope the 'good bits' in their have been removed as well!

Hitchy

Its fair to say Tiger probably wouldn't have walked away without his lid.........

Hitchy

Aww. I hate it when I miss more spicey behaviour.

Geez, don't you get enough here? By comparison, ultra-g was pretty tame. Sounded like he could be a good b!tcher at a drinking session, though. Knew enough to know that we aren't all enamoured of little Johnnie Howard. Anyway, who'd you vote for in the election (No, don't answer it... just rhetorical)

Yeah, something about fat Asians in Central Park, meeting up (an invitation for some fisticuffs) and a big jibe about someone being ripped off by buying a Litespeed that had been collecting dust in an LBS basement for two years. Funny and sad in its own way.

Nope, you'd be visiting me in hospital if I wasn't wearing me lid. Head went from 20kph to ZERO in a very short period in time.

And Hitchy, all will be forgiven if your next new frame is a Thylacine Tephra Ti But either way, I reserve the right to whinge like a girl for the rest of the week.

Spewin I missed this slvoid stouch, I love a good 'Net brawl.

Aussies are playing slower than a lobotomised imbecile on mandrax: Current Partnership: 9 runs, 5.0 overs, RR: 1.80 103/1 (Langer 46)

Maybe Pointing' hoping to bore the Kiwi's into submission.

Yeah, that's been "sanctified".

Best thread for ages; I'll try to "succinctify" it for yooz (i've got 20 mins to kill ):

It seems that Ultra-g and Slvoid both live in New York and go to the same
bike shop -- Ultra-g also used to work there. After chatting to the guys at the shop, Slvoid
was under the impression that Ultra-g left the job without telling the boss, and
he also seemed to think that Ultra-g had taken a second hand seat without paying for it.

I gather that Ultra-g was in the shop one day, and the guys told him that Slvoid had 'dissed'
him -- Ultra-g was not happy. SO, on the thread that Hitchy posted, Ultra-g said
something like: "by the way, thanks for dissing me at the shop; you have no idea what you're talking about, and it's none of your fukin business anyway."

Slvoid reply by actually accusing Ultra-g of stealing the seat, and walking out on
the job at the bike shop without telling them, and said; "the next time I see a fat Asian
guy in Central Park, it'll be 'on'!!

Ultra-g basically said: "how 'bout it? The guys at the shop have got my number -- give me a call"

It seems Slvoid wasn't interested in catching up, and was ignoring Ultra-g's private messages.
SO......in a seemingly desperate effort to contact Slvoid, Ultra'g actually starts a new thread, titled: "Hey Slvoid, read this". In this thread, Ultra-g posted a very long message to Slvoid, basically telling him that he was a fukn idiot, and:
"any time you wanna catch up in Central Park, I'll fukn 'school'
you on the bike. The guys at the shop think you're a fukn idiot, and that Litespeed they sold
you was a fukn lemon that was in the basement for 2 years. And you call me fat? What about
your fkn girlfriend....."

blah blah.

hee hee hee

Gold, Jerry. Gold.

do they know it's day 4 and rain is predicted for tomorrow??

I know -- they're going at about 2.7 runs an over.

You see the Seinfeld "doco" on Friday night at 7:30? Awesome! I'm taping copies for me mates.

Larry David came across as a good bloke, but Michael Richards seems like a bit of a tosser

Wow, what a gossipfest. Seppo B¡tch-fight! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

Hahaha!

So, anyway, fellas; what's the verdict on the Big Orange Tigerboymobile? Cool bike or what? C'mon, I need some feedback, even from the carbon-lovers

Yeah...saw bits. I bought the series 1,2 & 3 on DVD. There is a good "notes about nothing" feature you can turn on that puts episode info onto the screen like subtitles. Very informative.

It really is orange, ain't it?

I was very surprised by how light it was for a big steel bike. It's much lighter than mine, yeah?

Does it have any "special" light components like a BB, or anything?

......the seat is to high

but seriously, it feels nice & firm in the front end...'goes where you point it', which I like. as i mentioned, not unlike the feel of the 486 (sob)....I could live with it if it was lighter....what does it weigh.?.....was hard to judge when I was lifting it off ya!......also the colour clashed with the road surface!...looks much better standing up than lying down......LOL

hitchy

I'd say just under 9kg

https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...highlight=boyz

Wait till you see the Scapin.

is that reasonable for steel?......you can't race 9kg in a hilly race these days...especially if you're a fat baarstard to start with.....might be alright on the flat.....he's got DA on it, could probably save a few gms on the wheels, keo's instead of the SPD's.....you could get it down a fair bit I reckon.All jokes aside, i'm gunna investigate a Ti frame for the future (no I'm not selling the 486 (sob)......yet)

Hitchy

.....how's that old song go?...."in the year thirty-five, thirty-five, if man is still alive.........."

you mean this one?

Yeah....that looks vaguely familiar.

Match State: Lunch - Day 4 [Bulletin]

That ends a rather subdued and frankly dull session
Australia just using the first two hours for play to slowly and
steadily increase their lead
Normally with this sort of lead we see an Australian side going out
all guns blazing
The current 459 run lead looks well beyond the visitors
Hopefully we'll see some fireworks and a declaration after the break

With all the beers i drank and the BBQ on Sat night....I think I'm working my way into the 'Fat Club'....
