the last two rides, today i was a bit lacklustre.

 

[markg0vbr]

it is ok i just found some!

 

[Speicher]

You found some of the lustre that you were lacking? Where was it? Can you send me some please.

 

[markg0vbr]

had a look at the log it was 22mile ride today with 1450ft of claiming, i was just bimbling along as i was feeling a bit of pain in the hip --"as you know i do have a slight infirmity but i don't like to talk about it"-- but still did 13 mph average
there was a bit of lustre in the bottom of the tube the kids always squeeze from the middle, got the rolling pin out and started from the bottom and got a good dollop, this of course is the new eu regulated lustre, a paile imetation of what my dad could get when he was working for the ncb, that was industrial strength lustre, slap a bit on and you were like a Duracell bunny all day.

video of my handbike, well not my handbike but the same make.
very handy--"ha ha!"-- for fizzing around medowhall as long as i don't go mad and a hell of a lot easer than the wheel chair! it fits in the lfts as well when i lift the crank.

So is yours electrified Mark?

 

[n-ick]

Sounds like it's powered by Mentos in Coke;

"for fizzing around medowhall as long as i don't go mad"

Latter premise, I fear too laate.

We could assist in electrification,
perhips start with a chair.

 

[markg0vbr]

no, no electric.
the one in the vid is having a motor fitted.
had another trip to meadow hall today, i like the shiny floors as it had been raining the roof leaks here and there, did a 180 to much appreciation of some people. i reckon if i got my trice in there i could hit some rely impressive speeds as there is next to no rolling resistance!


had a bit of a play with the toe in as it was off a bit and found the rear axel was in the wrong way around i have it at about 1.5mm now with the durano tyres this seems to be ok, i can get up to a hefty clip on the flat for short bursts. i got up the hill at the end of my road today with out stopping, very slowly but got there.
i can go places on the hadbike i would not have a chance with on the trice just put a cruch on the back and no one says a thing, it would be interesting to see if i can get on a train with it, i could have day trips in york or leeds then.

i have had two days off the q after my last physiotherapy, as my hip is very painful so will have a ride tomorrow,

The tandem in your first clip, Mark, looks like it has a powerful unit on the back.

 

[byegad]

Where can I get one like that?

 

[markg0vbr]

The tandem in your first clip, Mark, looks like it has a powerful unit on the back.

apparently they are off the shelf items in Canada, but they are expensive and run on new shoes, make-up and curtains, i think it works out at about £25.34.000020036941 per mile this is just a rough and ready calculation.
there is talk of doing a travel version, with a inflatable stoker.

 

[Speicher]

No wonder the shorts are so short, if no allowance is made for clothes. Or does she make her own clothes out of curtains?

I think your calculations of the expenses per mile may have been mistakenly based on the exchange rate on 1st July 2011. It has increased by 00.00034% since then. Please submit a revised figure.

 

[Speicher]

Vis a vis the inflatable stoker. I hope they have taken into account the NasRegs (Air Travel) section 92 para 3b, when designing the gas wot the stoker will be inflated by.

 

[markg0vbr]

i think i would prefer to be on the back of the other varna tandem, with that motor.

If a young lady is sat on the front of the one on the right of that link, and you are sat at the back, you will not be able to see where you are going.



You could easily be led astray.
