Do you not know who the famed wood collector is? This oke has a reputation across continents, nevermind multiple forums.

 

DM me if you want his deets. POPI says I can't share it on the interwebs. Or at least, that is my interpretation of POPI.

The post is already in the public domain. The little globe  🌎  next to the post is share to public.

Imagine the guys at Grandstand are trolling him? Just took his money and he rocks up to the registration and they tell him he's not on the list. 

If I was one of the many, many people still owed money by this guy, then I'd kick up a fuss that he's now doing this very premium race and can no longer claim poverty. What he is done is bad for the industry and this is a public way to bring that all to a head.

 

*Then again, maybe his lucky partner fronted up the cash and the mighty B has promised his share of the ticket for the past 6 months already, but you know "things have happened".

Somewhat back to the topic, it seems its not just an experience shared here on LeHub, there's a similar thread on the Wild Dog forum. Maybe it's not a cycling thing, but a human thing. I dunno... If people just treated each other as they would like their sons/daughters be treated, I guess we might get somewhere.

 

 

Hubbers on the 4x4Community forum will recall the same type of thread popping up there every so often.

 

It is just part of the passing nature of social media.

Lycra does not stick, it slides ...... so you may slide around, but you sure are not going to be sticking (while wearing lycra)

No bearing on POPI, it’s been well documented and publicly reported on. Taun Bewsher has a number of open complaints/investigations of fraud widely discussed on public platforms.

A quick google and FB search will bring up this up and squash any qualms about the fearsome POPI red herring.

I hear you, but I’d rather be safe than sorry, you know what I mean?

Bit off topic - but bike culture related.

Broke a chain on my mtb this morning in Simonstown and a chap in a @Gear Change kit passes me while I'm digging in my bag for my chain breaker and quick link, he circles back and offers to help - says he's a mechanic at Gear Change (sorry I missed his name). I said no thanks I'm OK, but thanks for the stopping and the offer.

So, shout out to @Gear Change and their mechanic a stand up guy prepared to help when he's not working - nice to see not all cycling culture is going downhill.

I dig the own goal in the classifieds

If I was a paying advert customer (top line of adverts), Id expect mine to be up front and not the le hub socks in front of me which is a free home goal advert

Happy monday folks
