The expat cyclist

Moenie worry nie man, hy tik in afrikaans. Dit sit net ons afrikaners in 'n skand...heeeeeeeey wag 'n bietjie! Damn!

Skielik dink ek aan die waterbottel thread. Hierdie een het die potensiaal om classic te raak. Mr Bean, waste fiets het jy huh?

Hy is nuut man. Ons was almal al rookies.

Sommer net in die algemeen groet mense deesdae nie eintlik nie. Hier in Duisterland is dit ook so. Ek gaan draf nou in die middae en snaaks genoeg, die manne hier groet nie terug as jy verby hulle draf nie. Ek sal nooit vergeet daai een keer toe ek en my vrou in Groenkloof gery het nie. Ons was oppad terug, al langs die draad af. Aan die anderkant van die pad was 'n roadie. Ja verbeel jou, 'n roadie nogal. "Halloooooooooooooooo!!! Ry julle lekker???" en hy het gewaai ook. Sommige mense groet. Sommiges nie. Ek groet! As jy nie wil terug groet nie, wel dan se dit meer oor jou as oor my.

Not bad for a 3rd/4th post.

Sorry boet but I am going to report this! How can you use a word like "sensible" to describe a fellow hubber?

Well there you go! I don't know how to pump it seems.

On this site, human will do just fine! It amazes me how many pro's are out there these days. Just look at it: This man knows what it is like to be a pro.

Ten four captain! Ok it is not cycling related but I felt like a tjop! I went to go do a service at a hospital in polokwane. First time I have ever been there. So they had this printer/scanner/copier device slightly overlapping the door of the MRI room where I needed to go into. So I am standing here trying to figure out how am I going to get into the room with this thing in the way. I tried to move it but that sucker is heavy. So I go ask the radiographer: "How do I get in with that thing in the way?" as I pointed to the scanner/copier/fax thing. She walks past me and pushes the door... So in summary: Hey, I'm MJ. I am here to service you R10mil machine - and i cant even open a door.

Oh oh oh! pick me! pick me! I have story! Can I tell it uh? Can I? Oh please can I?

I can't remember ever having amnesia...

on the other hand - i have done many things...and not all of it worked...

I had too. The pump that I have works great on my fox but it leaks air on the R7 everytime I release the valve from the pump. So, i took it to the garage, took a cable tie and tied it round the handle of the pump. it is a lot easier to "squeeze" the trigger of the pump that way.

Let me just expand a bit on the yes. You can. However the air chamber in the fork is small so you will fill up the volume with air very fast. You can do it but just be careful!

Yes.

Since 21-12-10 training time 586h calories - 156601 exe. count - 182 1330.9km on the mtb 540.9km on the road bike. avg HR 154bpm Weight: 87kg (should be less when I get home.) height: 1.84 kg

This thread made me think of a story: I was at this rugby match and one of the spectators were shouting foul language at his team for playing so badly. The guy behind me jumps up and shouts at him: "Hey hou op om so te vloek. Hier is kinders my f0k."

Bwaaaahahahahaha! grb285 using words like restraint, dignity and respect for others around you! Boet, you is flipping funny! You are a pro ne? So you know what it's like mos!

I was going to say how about a central database that will have serialnumber, bike type and contact name and number in it... And then it hit me - daar is klaar so iets en dit lok nie juis vliee nie.

Can I have my beer here in Germany? Them Weissbeers are goooooooooooooooood!

So here you are throwing toys about someone else throwing toys... Ja ja, I know you are just saying...So was the rider. You don't like the way he said it though. C'mon, we have all had those days that we would just rather forget. To him, that day will be it. Yes, yes he coulda/shoulda/woulda handled it better. I am sure you have been there too in your life - but you did not have a camera up your backside!

Wat is die Ingels nou weer vir: "Die beste stuurman staan aan wal."

So the hub just got to me. It has been good and bad. Bud resently just bad - so it it time to say: Cheers boet. I'm outa here.

I just came back from a run...Damn I hate running! GRB285, this is for you: Dangle, Nathrix and co. could have so easily have said: "You know what, this is not our problem." But they did not. They got involved and started doing something that is affecting the sport that I love. And here you enter: Mr Concerned donater of funds. The T&C's are not valid. Who is the PI? Where are the fanancial statements? Etc. And you are doing this in the face of people wheo are trying to stop this from hurting us all!!! Now it is clear that Dangle and co. need donations. So, I gather they are trying to be diplomatic about your "concerns." Here is what I will do for you: I will donate monthly for as long as I can and as long as is needed to this cause. You know why? Because I really want to tell you to SOD OFF! Take your "donation" and stick it! By the way, you can always donate your time...Oh wait...that won't work...You seem to be to busy with financial statements and T&C's...

I wish I had words... If GRB treats the "good guys" with so much scepticism...DAMN!
