​

​

i noticed my kojack front tyres have had it the canvas is showing through. i must have only done 2k ish* i will have to start and slow down for the sharp fast bends...er throwing the trike in at full chat is kind of fun... i don't think they are that expensive really £14.50, for the amount of fun i get.. sod it ride it like you pinched it and stuff the expense​

​

*got the trike i think end of October so 200 miles a week up to the new year then about 100 a week up to now, this should be back up to what it was before now i am part time.​

I had Kojaks on my Kettwiesel for 1000 miles and they were shot. Frankly I feel both Marathon Racers and Big apples are a far better tyre and they are both as fast.

i have a set of American bobbys to go on, i will have a look at some of the others the small tyre shop has the darano is
wearing well on the back even with the odd bit of slipping going up the steep clime at the end of my ride. i do like the slap heads though.

cant wait to get the solid tyres of the wheel chair it is like pushing through treacle.

what a rubbish day cold and wet!
i did not order this, i booked unseasonably warm and sunny so i could work on my tan thong* on a trike and all that.
* a very bright red one.

'Tis wet 'n cold here too. I thought all the good weather had migrated to the West Riding.

 

[markg0vbr]

t's so wet weve bin inundated wif web foots from hull trana excape fludin ut' bogy gra-nd.
gud fo th' gills thoug, tall rain.

i am practising my common parlance, for when i have to go amongst them again, when the bike modifications have taken place.
one dose not like to stand out from the hoy poloi, that would be crass, no merely hover near the pinnacle of biker society, as is expected for some one of my background and breading.


you know it is amazing how long the hair has grown in my ears and when dose it happen? i was having a good bradle about in there the other day as i like to keep them clean, i went to do the same today and there are tufts of hair there!
i had my early year trim to day so if any one has a sofa or arm chair in need of some extra stuffing i have a good carrier bag of chest hair going to waist.

The now traditional January/February cold and chest is past and the traditional bad knee is here in time for the improving weather. I'm taking things very steady at the moment after yesterday's ride where I broke a front spoke, again!! The spoke wasn't the problem, kneeling to replace it was! B*^^*£.

 

[markg0vbr]

i am constantly surprised by how often you brake spokes, is Mrs byegad kicking the trike while you are not looking. is there a plot by some of the staff to cripple you force you in to investing in disc wheels so you will not be able to creep up on the polar maid.

the motorbike was inspected and pronounced fit for trikeing this will commence the middle of next month. that gives me some thing to look forward too, biker rallys lots of people just like me. probably drunk and semi coherent them not me, as i dont drink much now.

 

[Scoosh]

How can there possibly be ?

lots of people just like me.

Surely there is only one real, bona fide SBGG-AG ???

Burn the imposters, I say !

... or send them to Byegad Towers for feeding to whatever is hungry around the estate

 

[byegad]

Yes that's the first one this winter, and it always seems to be winter when they break! Last winter i lost four or five the winter before a similar number, and none in between?? A real puzzler this.

I gather Rotherham is full of them.

Note to self.... Avoid Rotherham.

 

[markg0vbr]

not just in Rotherham all over the world, we are the biKers, we are everywhere some times they may only be part time weekend biKers,

others are full time

remember the brotherhood are watching.

 

[Scoosh]

Now which one is SBGG-AG ?

I reckon it's the one with BROWN trousers !!! ....



... but really hope it isn't

 

[byegad]

None of the above.

Note to self... The SBGG lives there, avoid Rotherham and especially Rawmarsh.

you will have to wait about six weeks for a photo of me back on the bike i have already got people lining up for a ride when it is done.

BMWTrike
a bit like this one but mine is the roadster

mine has a leather tank cover and a custom exhaust, it sounds very nice thundering down the road, i will have a rack on the back for the wheelchair.

i have had three days of the trike but did a bit of whizzing about in the chair today, i have also taken the solid tyres off and put some racing slicks on. the solids wear unbelievably heavy, i will take it to meadow hall tomorrow and see if i can get some speed up
