My 'new' bike - the Millennium Falcon

[Danny]

Looks like a nice bike to me - but why does it say "264" on the top tube?

 

[TheDoctor]

I did a Sportive on that frame, and 264 was my entry number. I can't get the sticker off!

I like the idea of a bike built from bits rather than throwing your money at the shop assistant ,thats tooooooo easy.

What about building one out of bits that you buy at a very expensive shop, then?

To those who say, "What a piece of junk!": She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I understand the Doctor has made a lot of special modifications himself.

 

[TheDoctor]

I didn't buy any of the bits at an expensive shop. I had most of them already, in the spares heap.

Can it really do the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs?

The bike looks good, no problem there. It's Arch and the Doc getting all luvved up on here that induces the nausea. In my day we made our sloppy, squelchy noises in private!

Both envy and jealously are often considered interchangable and my point was always to challange DomTylers motives. I think in context you were correct and I was not trying to undermine your response. If I have caused embarrassment I apologise

No offense taken. I looked up both words wondering what point you were trying to make, and they are indeed different, so I've learnt something new - never a bad thing.

Please, no-one ask which hand he used/uses!!

Good grief Dom, it's not like they're composing sonnets mid thread or owt...!

Pssht-patoot, you old grump! They are hardly having squelshy noises in here (unless I'm missing the web cam episodes). More lurve on the forum, I say! It's what makes the world go round!

Stick that in your seat tube and smoke it!

Oh FFS. It's a write up of a bike, not 'Love Story' and the Kama Sutra...
Did your parents not teach you to say 'thank you' politely?

You really are a pompous twerp at times (to coin a phrase). 'In my day' my scarred and purple backside.

Aye, an' it were up 'ill both ways through ten feet o' snow, I'll wager!

 

[TheDoctor]

Ten feet o'snow? You were lucky!

I'm rather disappointed - I was looking forward to the webcam episodes!
