How embarrasing (how to DNF a TT)
« on: September 16, 2010, 09:01:51 pm »
Theo Boss rides head down into parked motorbike during Vuelta TT.

Anyone done anything similar locally? (apart from the IT Guru sprinting into the back of a parked car last year)

Bugger, that's bad luck. These guys would have so many motorbikes going this way and that, I'm guessing it would be easy to misjudge something like that.

A mate of mine ran into a parked car once; he wasn't hurt so it was pretty funny stuff.

I've come close a couple of times but haven't made contact. Yet.

PHL,

keep trying son. You'll hit a bike one day. You probably can't even hit a staionary one, that's how slow you are going. Shalom

Wow my first attack from the Ferret, I feel like a valued member of the forum community now.

PHL - no, just another piece of cannon fodder for the ascerbic keyboard of The Ferret.  Welcome to the club.
Well, no merger so far....
