    Back in the depths of the winter when my Transit couldn't go out in the snow I started looking at these. Supercab would mean all the saws and kit could be locked away on the back seats, and the legal weight capacity was the same as the Tranny. The small volume of the back put me off a bit. Anyone got any experience with them?

    Do it Les. Have an 880 running in the middle with the throttle tied down.

    Does anyone know any porn stars? Or worked for any? It's Friday night, let's hear your porn stories!

    We hoyed eggs and flour bombs and signed each others shirts and ties.

    Good call Rupe. I'm bikeless and semi-skint at the minute, and can get a Decathlon Rockrider (entry level hardtail) for about £300. I'm tempted. Anyone know anything about them? Purely for light rec on mainly woodland trails and suchlike, no hardcore stuff. It's not worth me spending much more, because I am crap on a bike.

    Own up, you were banned, weren't you?

    I hear ya Martyn. I overtrained for years. There's a similar Northumbrian saying - 'To be able to press a lot, you need to be able to press a lot'.

    I'd put a paper bag full of fresh dog crap on the neighbours doorstep, set alight to it, ring the bell and run. The sight of him stamping the flames out and getting dog mess all over his slippers will make up for your hassle. What a total and utter cock. Glad you got the money.

    I for one would viciously abuse the system to line my own pockets. By the time they caught up with me Kent would be a deforested dustbowl and I would be living on a big yacht.

    Awesome mate!

    You lot are mental. What's wrong with playing video games and watching soaps?

    £250 and you've got a deal. We're all men of the World. We've been to Calais.

    I've had a re-think. I'll let someone else buy £40k's worth of kit, get trained, qualified, experienced, insured, get a legal yard and tip site sorted out. £200.
  15. Mark Bolam
    Totally agree Geoff, same here. £100 then, at a time of my choosing, but I would stick by £150 as a standalone. Did you see the Piranha-infested pond in the DZ?

    Rub it in you barstewards. Big Lukey is getting married, probably next year, so that should give me a chance to abuse, sorry, explore, your country. Can't wait!
  17. Mark Bolam
    Geoff, you are a cheap whore who rides bareback. I would say £150, but I'm not prepared to travel....
  18. Mark Bolam
    Sorted. No charge mate.

    Totally depends how you work Nige. I love DE and have used it in the past loads, subbing for others. When it came to my setup I went for PB because it marries well with all my other rigging kit, and feel it handles nearly as well. I don't normally rig out Reg-size lumps either, 250kg max probably. I'll cut to the chase. I wanted DE but Jonesie had PB on special....

    And remember the fantastic snowboarding available over there. I feel your pain Ian.
  21. Mark Bolam
    Thank Lordy for that! I'd feel a right prick now if you said you were only going for a fortnight! When did you emigrate Ian?

    Good call. Easier when 'slightly' dead.

    Stevie Blair sent me an awesome vid of him doing this once. Hopefully he'll be along in a minute. As said, watch out for cables, and double the price you were thinking of. It's amazing how little leverage you have 25' up a ladder.

    Beat me to it James! Ian you nonce! The 2nd pic is indeed mint, but I bet if you put it on a flyer Joe Public would think you threw a big log at a house. Do you know the cause of death Ian?
  25. Mark Bolam
    I'm guessing you are a lean, whippy kind of guy who rigs fairly light pieces?
