Buckster Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 On 11/02/2024 at 21:07, XTreme said: I'll tell you a story about that. Around 2000 the wife fancied riding a bike so I got her a little 125. We did it properly.....she went to a training school. Then she failed her CBT and kept going back and they told her she still wasn't ready. So I got involved and we took the 125 to the old campground in Carmarthen so I could see her riding. And she was awful.....totally abysmal, no natural ability, and a danger to herself. I had to tell her to forget it because it wasn't going to end well. Then in 2005 I got a DT175 for the boys to have a good at riding offroad. The eldest one who was 17 then (now in Madrid) was exactly like his mother.......no ability or coordination. So I told him forget it! By contrast, the youngest one who was 14 (he's the one in NL now) was a fucking natural. He was belting round offroad with me following him on a mate's field bike......he was even drifting the back end without even knowing how he was doing it. Incredible natural ability......but unfortunately he was just going way beyond his level of experience. Till he binned it heavily! He was OK.....just winded, but it just put him off and he never rode again. Then I got on it, pulled a massive wheelie up a wet bank and binned it again, landing on my face! This time bending the handlebars like a banana. And those two things put him off forever. But it shows that ability is inherited......you've either got it or you haven't. So the milkman was a natural then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 On 08/02/2024 at 21:23, Pedro said: The man is a walking drama queen. I find him very annoying and lacking in any technical department. He constantly quotes wrong stats on bikes. Did'nt he ride back from France on one cylinder when the plug cap fell off. On another occasion the same thing happened and he went to remove the spark plug and realised he hadn't packed the ratchet arm? I wouldn't admit to it let alone film it! He seems to have a lot of followers so good for him but not for me, a posh boy with little common sense. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know......maybe playing the buffoon is just a ploy to get hits, which equals more revenue? After all, you can get right to the top in Britain by playing the buffoon! There's definitely an audience for it! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t watch him any more. His videos seem to have more posing and less interesting content. Just watched, skipped most of it, his trip to Wales. Sitting at a table in Elan Valley, and a lot about a cafe near Abergavenny. That’s Wales? You’re right Pete. Small wonder that people consider him a twat. He did like the Transalp though. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
