How about a General non-bike section in the Forum???
      #2007 - 25/05/2008 18:28

Hi MBR Towers,

Given the popularity of the 'Dowse' post that went from cartoon characters to re-uniting long lost friends via falling off bikes, nice one greeneye, how about a non-biking bit where people can off-gas a bit about general tripe.

It could be a rant about potholes in roads, parking charges at trail centres (too cheap in my opinion, put them up to keep out the riff raff ) or anything at all.

How about it?

Anyone else fancy it?

Cheers KarateGuff,

We'll await your response.

I also thought about a slot where people could post their 'wheeler dealers' so people could check out the best deals on bikes and components. You're looking for a shiny new bit, check out the prices that other people have paid and then try and match etc.

As you can probably tell I've way too much time on my hands!

Hey tricks your right!

My work is getting in the way or reading all the out of date forum posts and pondering my possible answers.

I have taken immediate action and booked tomorrow off as a holiday !

Diving in the morning, riding in the evening - top day planned now watch the weather stuff it up!

sshhh!!
your not allowed to let fellow bikers know that bad weather keeps you in.
personaly i ride hail, rain, wind, snow. hell i will ride through anything. at least thats what i want you all to believe.lol.
i like this idea of free flowing conversation, i wonder if mbr might list it as one of the forum choices.
any ideas for a title?
we have bike buying product, news, etc.
im sure an extra one will be okay.
maybe 'pointless patter'.
any other suggestions?

Thanks Tricks.

I kinda liked the idea of a BH Monday, work 1 day, 1 day off, go back to work on thirsty Thursday and then bang the weekend, oh and it's a killer route weekend too!! Top banana!

Hey Graham,
Your right of course I ride through hell and highwater, I was just contemplating having to put up with soggy bacon sarnies at lunchtime!!

Like the 'pointles patter' name, or how about 'Free Spieling'? spiel - wheel???
