Hello Strangers ! Posted by Gus on April 4, 2018, 6:04 pm 86.19.113.139 It's been a while, although we did see Mr Gelder at a somewhat damp Spa Francorchamps last June. Anyway, Hello ! And here's my new toy, I decided two wheels is far too safe and easy, so I've bought myself one of these : https://www.speedyfeet.co.uk/products/ninebot-one-e-gen2-single-wheel-transporter-35km-range Feel free to mock Peace & Daffodils

Re: Hello Strangers ! Posted by Barrow on April 4, 2018, 6:40 pm, in reply to "Hello Strangers !" 212.139.210.129 Yowser Stranger. Ninebot - Like Irish dancing, looks easy enough. Wonder if it would help my knees.

Re: Hello Strangers ! Posted by Gus on April 4, 2018, 8:30 pm, in reply to "Re: Hello Strangers !" 194.75.72.50 It might look easy, and it probably is once you've got used to it. So far all I've managed to do is get a basic grip of getting on and off the damn thing without breaking either of us. It's trickier than it looks. Helpfully it comes with some foam padding and double sided tape, so that you can protect it a bit from the inevitable mishaps. Peace & Daffodils

Re: Hello Strangers ! Posted by Pete on April 4, 2018, 8:46 pm, in reply to "Re: Hello Strangers !" 213.210.4.192 Does the padding go on it, or does it go on you?

Re: Hello Strangers ! Posted by Gus on April 4, 2018, 11:30 pm, in reply to "Re: Hello Strangers !" 194.75.72.50 Padding goes on the unicycle - I'm probably going to need knee and elbow pads though Peace & Daffodils

Re: Hello Strangers ! Posted by JERRY on April 4, 2018, 7:33 pm, in reply to "Hello Strangers !" 81.98.49.26 Hi Gus, good to have you back. That looks very handy for going down the pub on. Not sure about coming back from it though! The oldest rocker in town!

Re: Hello Strangers ! Posted by David on April 4, 2018, 7:42 pm, in reply to "Re: Hello Strangers !" 86.180.167.153 Reckon you only came back ‘cause your old mate Alan returned recently Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up.

Re: Hello Strangers ! Posted by Gus on April 4, 2018, 8:26 pm, in reply to "Re: Hello Strangers !" 194.75.72.50 Hazel took delivery, and immediately sent me a text saying : "You're going to die" Which was nice ! Peace & Daffodils

Re: Hello Strangers ! Posted by Andy C on April 4, 2018, 8:28 pm, in reply to "Hello Strangers !" 84.13.46.59 Wonder if you can get your knee down when cornering on it Who needs a signature anyway......

Re: Hello Strangers ! Posted by Gus on April 4, 2018, 8:42 pm, in reply to "Re: Hello Strangers !" 194.75.72.50 Yes, it's called "falling off" ! According to the blurb it cuts out if leaned past 45 degrees Peace & Daffodils

Re: Hello Strangers ! Posted by Lannis on April 4, 2018, 10:33 pm, in reply to "Hello Strangers !" 172.242.228.111 Video or this DEFINITELY never happened .... !! Lannis

Re: Hello Strangers ! Posted by CrazyFrog on April 5, 2018, 9:17 am, in reply to "Hello Strangers !" 217.33.147.218 Welcome back Gus! You really need two of those, then some sort of framework to hold them in line, on in front of the other, then some sort of seat on the framework- Bingo! You don't have to be crazy to post here, but it helps....

Re: Hello Strangers ! Posted by Gus on April 5, 2018, 9:30 am, in reply to "Re: Hello Strangers !" 86.19.113.139 To paraphrase George Orwell : Four wheels good, two wheels better, one wheel betterer ! I do fancy an electric motorcycle though, and a Tesla Peace & Daffodils

Re: Hello Strangers ! Posted by CrazyFrog on April 5, 2018, 10:16 am, in reply to "Re: Hello Strangers !" 217.33.147.218 Yeah, we had a talk by Street Bike last year in my local club. They're dealers for Zero bikes and they bought in their demonstrator. It looked like a really serious bit of kit, and the top of the range model will apparently blow just about anything else on the roads into the weeds at the traffic lights grand prix.... You don't have to be crazy to post here, but it helps....

Re: Hello Strangers ! Posted by Beezabryan on April 5, 2018, 10:35 am, in reply to "Re: Hello Strangers !" 87.113.23.234 Alternatively Two Wheels good three whells gooder https://www.gentlemansride.com/rider/beezabryan Bryan aka Abo

Re: Hello Strangers ! Posted by MadMike on April 5, 2018, 2:49 pm, in reply to "Hello Strangers !" 176.248.62.253 Good afternoon your royal Gusness. It's good to see you back with us. Not just a flying visit I trust. Saturday at 1:00 o'clock as usual, and in the same place. See you there. Other opinions may be available but this one is always correct.

Re: Hello Strangers ! Posted by Gus on April 5, 2018, 8:44 pm, in reply to "Re: Hello Strangers !" 86.19.113.139 See you there. Is there a Gathering on the horizon ? Peace & Daffodils
