aidan wow, do you get that alot or is that how you always react to questions???

I'm more typative than talkative.. and I'm fscking bored at work so the sarcasm/response length is heightened..

True blue, mate, cobber, digger, vb, kangaroo, holden, ute, bbq, snags, shazza, struth, etc.. yeah, hippy is a skippy.

Do it. You know you want to..

What distance will that add to the ride?

Anyone going back by train (dopey bike-bound foreigner needs hand-holding on uk public transport..)

Define 'good'?

Looks nice, 'looks' strong, hasn't come off, isn't noisy (relative term), half-links so length is easy to tweak (i got lazy and left it too long), my chainbreaker worked on it. Cheaper chains are available.

Alright.. whip 'em out peeps.. who's got the brightest, mostest powerfulest lighty thing of them ALLLLL?!?!?!?!

Prepare to be wheelsucked. :P

I have one of these kits. They do the trick. It's a bugger because I have a full set of tools back home but this was a nice kit to do most stuff with.
The chain breaker managed to fit my Shadow Interlock chain - I was worried it wouldn't after Will from HubJub mentioned they kill cheaper tools.

allyb For what its worth the Aussies would let me in if I lent them £40k for a couple of years...

Really? We're notoriously xenophobic and do everything we can to make it hard for people to enter Oz. Refugees? Not here thanks. Canadian gf wants to live here - "have you 2 years worth of rental bills with both names on it?" Polish gf wants to visit for xmas - "here, fill in this 9 page document about everything you've ever done and ever will do.."

Smile and wave at them like they're your best friend. Makes 'em mad but they can't do anything because you are being so nice.
Leaves you much happier and relaxed too. Now if only I could follow my own advice..

There was a good argument on C+ in that they organise this with police support and if tonnes more people come along the numbers grow too large and they stop running these events. The issue with this is that I can't see there being too many people doing this ride. How many people who missed out want to do it? Can you enter on the day to fill entries of people that bailed??

I love a suncnut burntry...

Don't tempt me :P

Mine has the sound turned off :(
It makes noise when I punch it though :)

lol :)

I love (some of) my bikes. My girlie. My 'puter. Booze.

That's because with so much rain here it's like being a gold fish :)

Deliveries do :)

Same as my favourite topic but things we love. I'll start..

I love "The things we hate" topic on londonfgss. :D

allyb: Do they have a Highly Skilled Migrant type visa in Canadia? With 10yrs in IT couldn't you wangle some kind of managment roll, senior blah blah to score points towards it. Salary-based visas? Do you earn loads? That kinda thing..

OT: I hate VISAs. Even more than that I hate filling out those stupid forms at the airport every time I leave England coz I'm a skip. I hate the fact that the line for the non-EU and non-UK passports takes 30-40min to move through. I hate traffic lights.

vegansdontneedgears the best fakenger i have ever seen bought a nextell raido phone and wore it straped to the shoulder pad of his chrome bag...

Now THAT is sad.

Damn.. now I'm getting paranoid about my little Dinotte 5w being sufficient. I'm NOT buying more!!! Must.. not... click.. CHECKOUT NOW.. ;)

buses that turn left from the right lane, blocking your path and forcing you to wait for the 3000 people crossing on the other side of oxford cirpus.

This is another Aussie who also happens to have a similar nickname - the fat hippy:

His site has a tonne of info for building cheap lights. Check it out.

58mi there? If that's the case I'm not riding back! My @rse will be mince meat after 30mi as it is..

Sure your name isn't mdMa? ;)

I've just ordered one of the saddle mounts.. will see how it goes.
