My new bike, before and after the first ride

Glad you got something eventually!

Get riding it a few times before you do the 100mile race! That will be.....fun!?

The most I've ridden in one day is 100miles as well. I stupidly cramped near the end because I forgot to keep drinking...even though my camelbak still had water in it!

Hope you enjoy it.

I'll be there.

Got seats at Turn 1. I hope it doesn't rain too much...but I hope it rains a bit!

Ahh, the memories!

Good vid, long time no see.

That's the same place as we had the LFS meet quite a few years back!

Awesome fun. IIRC it was the 1st big LFS meet, and Tristan arranged it. It is the one and only time I've managed to join in.

Let us know how it goes. Pics and Vids are required!

New brake discs!



Getting Maxxis Minion DH tyres soon

I have the Hope disc rotors too....except I have the hydraulic callipers to match

Hahaha!

I don't know what's better, your face, or the girl watching you! classic! She looks scared to death...what were you doing!

Quote from dodo.ger :

idiots ruining a race, even the old drivers can be.

Hi, that's me!

Quote from dodo.ger :

what we need imo is something like one or two set days/times per week where we can definitly meet on a server with admin privileges. choose a combo beforehand maybe and then just do some races.

back to dSRC servers anyone....

While this thread shows a strong presence of 'old' drivers, I think we are all kinda guilty of what has happened, and we are now 'moaning old gits'.

We all got bored and disappeared. Things changed. InSIM and CTRA and wotsit called applications that kick you before you are even on the track.

Now we come back and want everything the way it used to be. Sorry what? Things would never have changed if most of us had kept interest and stayed put. I would still be racing every other night, and religiously on a Friday night with my dSRC team mates.

In reality, there is absolutely nothing stopping us from continuing to race the way we used to. Like dodo said, all it takes is for a few reputable servers & teams to step up and put on combos and admin like we used to.

Easy? yes. Old boys still moaning?...probably Will I start racing again? no, not unless I'm back in the UK with my wheel!

Faked? If not, good spot...

WoW!! It WERKS!

Hello - Lionel Richie

Who me?

What sort of entertainment are you looking for exactly?

Where will you be staying?

If you are staying in the City centre (~2mile radius around the twin towers) then there is plenty of bars/clubs/restaurants if that is what you are after.

Tourist stuff that is easy to get to in and around KL includes:
The Twin Towers (you have to arrive early to get your free ticket)
Batu Caves (20min taxi drive out of town)
The Aquarium
Elephant Sanctuary (I haven't been to this, but I've been told it's good - not sure how close to town it is.)
Shops x10,000,000.....

That's just a brief outline. I'll be in KL in February So I might be able to show you around a bit. As long as I'm not travelling with work I'll be happy to help you out.

Hmm I have a few.

Wolfenstien - Final Boss! Hitler with chain guns....arrrggg!
Ditto for Doom 1.

RTS - Warcraft 2.......um, can't remember the level....but I was sweating!

Obviously I've had a few thrilling LFS moments too. I reckon the most thrilling are team events.

dSRC vs. FAC team race back in S1 was sweet! LX4 round SOL....ahhh, the memories! I still watch that replay. I didn't win, but the racing was immense.

Happy Birthday!

Hope you have a good day and managed to do something special with the family.

As above,

I was going to mention Mercedes inventing (or at least implementing) fuel injection in race/road cars.

What about systems like ABS & TC. Pioneered in F1 etc(?), but revised for road cars.

Darn, I really enjoyed his books. I didn't even know he was ill.

Mike, I totally agree. While his books were quite often heavily classed as SCIENCE fictions, they were always great to read and brought interesting a new concepts to the fore and packaged them in a good story.

I'll have to catch up and read some more of his books that I haven't read.

Quote from Intrepid :

man...that guy really is an idiot.

Quote from detail :

Is this for real? Hmmm. I'd say photoshop, but I've seen one-sided forks on urban bikes, so would like to know if this is true.

No photoshop...totally real. They are a very common choice for predominantly XC riders.

tipex this beeatch!

Evolution baby... (sry for odd shaped pic!)

Quote from Gener_AL (UK) :

I remember playing the demo on my Voodoo 2 SLI rig @ 1024 locekd at 60 fps which was godlike at the time.
I still play it to this day ....

Snap...apart from the 'I still play it to this day' part

Last time I did play though was against you & dSRC dudes I remember doing OK...but getting humped in HL2 by Kryten & you afterwards...(Ok you thrashed me in Q3 too!)

Nice one, only just spotted this one

I remember reading an article about Berwick-upon-Tweed too. It was discussing with the locals about whether they felt more Scottish or English, and questioned them if they thought they should be a part of Scotland.

Can't quite recall how it turned out...but surely it is fairly obvious they all wanted to be Scottish...after all, doesn't everybody?

Quote from deggis :

UK banned handguns but that didn't stop gun crimes. Blaming guns alone is as stupid as blaming video games or movies. And I don't have gun, I'm not a gun nut and only time I've used guns was in the army.

It does however, obviously, severely limit their availability. I see no need why anyone, other than the armed forces or possibly game-keepers should require a gun. If people want to hunt with guns...well, tough luck. They can kill a deer 1001 ways without a gun.

I have stayed in Texas as well, and heard the 'right to bear arms' argument several times. While I can understand it and see where they are coming from, it does nothing to solve the problem and only escalates the problem.

Back to the UK. OK, a small minority of criminals have guns, and knives are quite widespread also, but because the public doesn't have the capability to buy guns for 'defence' then the problem doesn't escalate.

Can't wait for a monsoon!

Every time it rains in Asia....it IS a monsoon!

There is no such thing as drizzle or light rain here. It is digital rain, off, or torrentially (new word ) on!
