A photo of Mac taking a photo of me taking a photo of him. Almost as confusing as arranging to meet back at the Abba Stand Stand.

An old Honda modified to off road by adding a tyre so wide it just cleared the front forks

And in the interest of fairness, my ar$e. Vote for your favorite.

There are some more pictures of bikes and such like over here if you really want. Same again next year...

How did you get on the trials thingy ? We tried at 10.45 and it was fully booked up for the whole day :(

Re: Mac, Squirrel, And Stretchie Do The Bike Show
 

Nice...

We got there before then

; )

Re: Mac, Squirrel, And Stretchie Do The Bike Show
 

When we booked in I think there was only one other person on the list. Had to book early though. Missed out on the off roading as that was fully booked by the time we got round there. What didn't help was the road test booking system, they managed to take and incredibly simple task of putting your name on a list next to a bike against a time slot so unbelievably difficult.

Here's the Vmax I took out, I really liked it, a touch heavy on the steering but fine once you realise

Mac (Ben or also known to us as Old Spice) "Look, no hands, or arms"http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...1/IMAG0113.jpg


The happy couple, I heard Ben say to Squirrell, "Yep, the further they are buried in to my back the better" but I'm not sure what he meant, any ideas?

Lunchtime. Bap (Another ben or also known to us as Young Spice) could not come and play out with us as he had to go christmas shopping to Cardiff with his owner (girlfriend) so we sent him texts and pictures alllll day to make him feel included/show him what he's missing* *delete as applicable

Squirrell ready for the Gas Gas (confused me as he's always had Gas as far as I have known him)

Squirrell 'givin it some large'. there was one of me on the back and us both hanging off but Mac has problems taking pictures using his phone.... He's a moron

This is basically what you missed having a go on the gas gas. After this he puts out a line of 5 or 6 cones for you to slalom and turn around and repeat several times. Was good fun but achey breaky legs afterwards. I had to go and have a footlong to recover
