Hi Fallout. As you can probably tell, the org is full of very friendly people. Mentally deranged to a man and woman but friendly nonetheless. And helpful too, I discovered only this evening that selling wild hedgehogs is illegal! Right, I'm off to put "Spikey" back in his hedge.....

This forum is definitely full of hedgehog loving fruitcakes. But I like hedgehogs, and I like cake. So it's all good. Very helpful peeps too. I should've joined ages ago. I've gone out for blasts by myself way too many times cos my mates have been busy. I should've built up a list of like minded SVers years ago to harass. What a spanner!

Maybe give it 6 months until i stop riding like a girl! Still in that thinking about everything far too much stage, and cocking it up before i get to the tip in! Weathers not helping me confidence wise at the mo, neither is my spongy as hell, barely reactive front brake!

At least, thats my excuse and im sticking to it!!!

Nothing to prove to me mate. I still have a cm of chicken strips. I am an average speed rider at best, as are my mates. Actually, that's not true. One of them is shocking. Let's wait for the sun to start shining again anyway.

I reckon that's good work mate. I've had my tyres since half way through last summer. I like to lean off the bike a bit though .... that's my excuse for keeping it upright. Nothing to do with riding like an OAP.

Alright buddy! Is that the sign with "Get your fried mars bars here" on it? Nobody seems sure if they're a myth or not.
