Cool, damage the front wheel but cut the back wheel in two. I can't help but wait for the video of him hitting another kerb with the front wheel and smashing it again. :lol:

When he's riding around the park at the end he's changed the fragile plastic wheel for one with proper spokes.

S'alot of fannying around though, innit?

Just buy a new wheel and stop inventing solutions to problems that don't exist. ;)

Daft engineering for the sake of it innit, what's not to like!

I was hoping he'd pull a wheelie at the end though, that would be amusing to see :lol:

Most of this is a bit dull but there's a bit at the end - starts at the 15 min mark - featuring the current two-seater Ducati MotoGP experience bike which was quite interesting - 140kg two seater!

This should really be in a music thread somewhere but I don't know if we've got a "what you drinking, listening to" one so,

I've started listening to some of my Mum's old albums to find something to play at her crem and I remembered she loved this song and I thought some of you lot may too. We went to see Ralph McTell a few times together. She was very arty and copied this album cover in pastels. I asked my brother what he thought and he said he'd been playing this himself on his guitar lately.

Not a youtube video but a clip from BBC Rewind - London Plus: Speed Couriers Despatch Riders

From 1985.
