TCS Riders at The Engen Series

[Pantani]

 

 

This morning I noticed a few TCS riders line up at the start of the Engen 'race'. It must also be noted that they were not decked out in their team colours! Please guys, team strips are non negotiable otherwise we have to conclude that you have come in a spirit of '*** stirring' and that doesn't go down well at the Engen. 

 

There are 3 matters that need to be addressed:

1. The neutral zone.
2. Mechanical motorised assistance.
3. Half wheeling Andrew

The Neutral Zone

Gentlemen (MWNN), once the ride passes Jaguar Bryanston and proceeds to Investment cars on William Nicol Drive, please respect the pace and adhere to the rules of engagement and treat this as a neutral zone. It is considered poor taste to attack the ride as they engage in casual chat and banter!

 

Mechanical Motorised Assistance

This has been discussed in another thread and it seems it has reared it's ugly head at The Engen Series. Gentlemen (MWNN), hitching a ride with passing public transpoort (taxi's nogal! ) goes against the spirit of the sport. I sincerely hope it wasn't Crux driving the black taxi (the paint job of the taxi ) on William Nicol. Whether intentional or accidental, I saw a hand reach out and grab the taxi, it will not be condoned!

 

Half Wheeling Andrew

Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen (MWNN), how many times do I have to tell you Andrew dislikes being half wheeled. A direct consequence of this is the trail of disaster that is left behind when he puts the hammer down in an attempt to drop the half wheelers. What is worse is a persistant half wheeler who doesn't know when to quit (MWNN). Please be reminded that this sort of behaviour is frowned upon. Please give Andrew at least 2 clear bike lengths, if you were at Zoo Lake you would know this, he rides best with a space buffer around him.

 

Your compliance in future will be appraciated. I hope Crux will take the necessary action and we might see more of you guys, and in club colours too (yes, you guessed it, MWNN)

OMG... You can't just go and ride your bike anymore. Now the self-proclaimed ride marshalls tell you what where and how? Sounds like you lot need to relax a bit... I can supply prozac at a good price.

[Pantani]

 

No, there are no ride marshalls at the Engen, only race commissaires...  Fun Rides have marshalls..

Pantani after reading your posting, you best have your bullet proof vest ready as you are dead center for the "firing line"

 

[Pantani]

Hahahahaha, the people need a laugh... Even at The Engen, everybody is so serious. But then again, they riding so hard there's no time to have a laugh... 

[Pantani]

Besides, MWNN made me laugh this morning, before the ride he was talking about being scared cos all the big guns were there... Then next thing I check the front and he is the one bringing the pain!!! 

[David #7]

Pantani, you also forgot to mention that nobody must try make idol chit chat with Andrew as the result is often th same as when he is half wheeled.

[Pantani]

Hahaha, about a month ago I made the mistake of riding next to him... It's so hard to disguise heavy breathing...

 - protocol has clearly changed for this ride over the winter. MWNN's attorneys have been instructed to draft a reply to the above.

[Sammajoor]

MWNN  claim insanity or non accountability

I have been legally guided as follows:

Matter: Potentially inflammatory and insidious remarks made by "daai ou met die sigaret boks fiets"

 

Dear Man with no Name,

 

Further to your request for legal guidance, Honest Syd can like to advise as follows:

 

TCS Riders - You should sue the blixem. There was only one TCS rider this morning and rerig my ou, you havn't put on THAT much weight

Team Colours - Honest Syd believes from his reputable sources that "daai ou" has been donning the world champ jersey this morning. Honest Syd's opinion is still divided whether "daai ou" or Paulo Bettini should be offended.

Neutral Zone - "Daai ou" mentions that the neutral zone is up to the Jaguar garage in Bryanston. That's 80% of the ride!!! WTF Honest Syd believes this individual is trying to lower the standard of the ride and not only should he be half wheeled, he should be flicked, if you know what I mean.

Mechanical Motorised assistance - Honest Syd wants "Daai Ou" to distinguish between incident and precedent. Hones Syd further advises "Daai Ou", referring to the Zoo Lake Criterium, that if revenge is a dish best served cold, redemption is a dish best served hot and spicy. Lastly, with regards to this matter, Honest Syd advises that MWNN needs more than 10 kms if he needs to hang on to any vehicle. Much more. Much much more

Hand holding on to the taxi - My client advises me that you should not mistake a hand holding onto a car with a hand making [friendly] gestures.

Half wheeling Andrew - Now this is a honest mistake for which my client profusely apologises. You dont drag race the queen if she's driving around Pall Mall. You dont wear a Speedo unless your name is Ryk Neethling or Borat. You dont, under any circumstance, date a mate's sister. And you never half wheel Andrew. Case closed.

We trust you find this reply satisfactory.

 

Can like to be kind regards

 

Honest Syd

But was MWNN on his MTB because then there would be extenuating circumstances?
