Trying to get to leogang but stupid car limiter is NOT EVEN to 180MPH. Stupid car

Its obviously not achieving top speed because of all that dust weighing it down ..try some go faster cockpit shine and you will notice a difference..
Thought you would have been a VAG kinda bloke ..?

 

[The Hodge]

Mmmm, I do love some vag but not sure what it means to you.

It’s probably the pounds of mud in the back from my bike nicely coating everything. I actually had an old German dude disgusted talking all barking dog to me when I was putting my dirty bike in the back one day.

It wasnt so much what it means to me ..as what Ive gathered it means to you ..
As far as this old fart goes its just another German brand vehicle manufacturer..?

 

[The Hodge]

Yeah..Im not sure how you would get on driving around the skinny country roads where I live in one of them ..

Ya should change your name to ‘rusty trombone’ or maybe ‘lamb herder’

I can just see it. Talking to them saying ‘come on babe say what I love to hear. I’m so what? Yeah that’s right, I’m soooo Baaaaaaaaaaaa d.’

That's a sheep shot man. ?

 

[RustyMTB]

Kidding aside, those sheep were somewhere they shouldn't have been, someone left a gate open. Nothing pisses off farmers more.

Ride in the country, shut gates behind you.

Same thing happened to me last Saturday ..must have been well over 100 sheep on a narrow country road on my way to the Cheviot Hills ..good job I had my wellies with me ( rubber knee length boots for those outside uk ) ..?

the lift helps too ???

I’m not sure you can even speed in most parts of LA, Car to car packed traffic ugh. I bought this car in LA and brought it back to its motherland.

Very cool. I would not have expected you could get 180mph out of it.

A couple years back, I was driving around with my friend from Oz. He commented, through his gritted teeth and white knuckles, that Socal was the only place in the world he's visited where people normally drive at 80mph... in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Wife's any my everyday drivers are two trucks. One's an F250 Supercab 4x4. It can carry six bikes, riders, and gear. Speed limited is about 98 on the speedometer. The other one is a 1978 F250, standard cab, very nice original. It's not uncommon to have some stranger come knocking at our front door wanting to know if we'll sell the old truck. Nah... it's just too much fun.

As much as I like antique cars and race cars, right now all my time is spent on mountain bikes and engines. For that, I really need trucks.

Who let the fuckkng cows into the bike park again?! ?

 

[Slymobi]

Got the bike back out for a quick blast tonight Tough climb through mud and wet slippy roots but managed to beat the weather. Local little 7 miler to the top of Shire Hill ( Personally named Hobbit run ) axle holding out and a cracking downhill run once I'd finished my rewarded bottle of Sol . Glad to be back out.

 

[RustyIron]

Man. I only want to see that 78! My friend was rebuilding them then started rebuilding 50s trucks. So awesome. And you don’t need a computer to work on them.

I'll try to get a recent picture. When my dad tipped over a couple years ago, I sold his 1972 F250, 390, New Process 4-speed to a friend of mine. He wheels and deals in all kinds of stuff, and I was glad to get rid of it. The truck was good when it had last run fifteen years prior. My friend hauled it away, worked on it a little, and sold it to someone in Germany. I didn't know that old American trucks were a thing for Europeans. It will be a really cool truck when it's restored. I just didn't have the time or motivation.

Are they not the uplift system? ?

 

[Mike D.]

It's moos to me.

wallis, early bird.

LETS SEE YOUR RIDE FOOTAGE

I definitely get videos that run at 360 for a period before noticeably improving to 720. I guess that may be my broadband speeds? I dunno. On reflection, I got that 1080 thing from a GMBN tech video, with Doddy saying it's more or less the sweet spot. ?

Need to mount my GoPro back on my chest. Can’t see me putting English on the bike with the head mount.
Good day, exhausted. Riding buddy in pics.

We got to hotshots to hit it for out first time. So cased most jumps and landed in the grass a couple times because we’ve never hit this trail before. I almost ate a tree too. Did a 6+km commute from mountian top to another on the DH bike lots of walking uphill; was missing my ebike for sure. Should have a vid when I get around to it.

Wheres yours?

 

[Doug Stampfer]

Wheres yours?

A good pic should tell a story. If it doesn't it is a waste of space.
I've posted 3. They are the only ones I thought worthy to be shared.
And what's with the selfies -are we 13? & photos of food- are we 70?

I dont remember your "story". Was it a happy "story" ? Or maybe a funny "story"? Maybe if the "story" was longer i'd remember. Possibly

Was lucky to walk the new trail in Fryupdale (North Yorkshire) this morning which will be opened up to public use once all the trail grading and signage is decided and erected. It won’t be advertised as a trail centre or bike park as its smack in the middle of a national park and has to be discreet and sympathetic to neighbours, so worth contacting Yorkshire Cycle Hub beforehand if planning on riding there

It’s a 2 mile loop, so not huge, but full of testing drops, table tops, gaps, perfect berms, steep descents, skinnies & jump lines. The cafe and facilities there are top notch so a perfect place to session some lines and chill out with tasty grub after
