haha..probably mate.. i would still get shown up if i was on the fastest bike on the planet.

Only just bought my machine so still super careful !!

We'll make a thread on Friday when the weather is a little more guarantee'd and arrange a meet place for us all. If you don't know the area Draper, I can always come and meet you in Cardiff centre somewhere and then we can ride up and meet Hovis. Jesus - You about ??

16-10-07, 09:10 PM
ahhh right yeah, know a couple of people doing that, good stuff

i was told by my indian friend that i should turn up to the first lecture with a towel on my head stating that i thought it was a requirement in order to pass:p... turns out not so many indian people like wales, or certainly dont appear to be there, was surprised

anyway that was random, but yeah i'm generally gonna be free as long as its not in the day in the week. brecon, wherever, i'll be up for it

16-10-07, 09:15 PM

There's a guy I work with that I can't understand a word he says. He sounds ****ed and like he's speaking welsh. Even after asking him to repeat things 3-4 times I can't get it!
