Off topic, but Pugsey please explain what golf has to do with driving and english grammar (found that a strange comment)??
However currently training for theworld heave record (chin ups) and i'm hoping being watched will give me that last few to get in the top 3 in the world, but i'm not doing that to make my english grammar any better or improve my game of golf!
Yes i'd imagine someone can preform better or worse when being watched but when i'm out on my bike I don't really care if someones watching me or not i'll just ride my bike.
Golf now compares to driving which in turn has something to do with English grammar!
Oh and now you overtook a bunch of bikers at 130mph, come to Bedfordshire this summer please mate i'm begging you..........

Im confussed too!
Can I be invited to this day as well?? Also do you fancy doing it twice once on a nice dry day...then again in the pouring rain??? But then I forget that unless you are a good rider the bike will be in the garage for fear of it getting dirty!!!
** That last comment was purely made to ignite a dying fire!!
A bit off topic but I'm with Fergus on this. 996 sps - to follow your reasoning you would only ever do something correctly if you were being examined so if, for example, you were a single fig. golfer you'd only bother to go round in under 82 in a competition, happily going round in 100plus - or in your case 200plus - at all other times. Presumably you are also happy to ride you bike really badly unless someone who knows what they are doing is watching. You don't have to "look closely" into bad spelling or grammar, it's just there in front of you, plain as day! Rather like bad riding or driving in fact!
The above was said by Pugsey..........I'm Confused.....
Anyhow............I'll be up for a meet Hocklife Bends near Leighton Buzzard or around Woburn area, for obvious reason sensible to begin with...........but could do a few runs to check the roads etc before hand, as for in the wet yep your right bike will be in the garage.
Can do Oxford area as well...................
And the chin ups are going well thanks but still 10 under to even get 3rd place but injury free for now, thanks for your support...........

I see. So it's for them to draw the line is it? If they went past others at 130mph that's OK but you have a go at me for 'feeling the need' to pass them. Thank you, you've just perfectly illustrated some bikers attitude that 'we're entitled to be the fastest thing on the road but no one else can' that I was complaining about. If a quicker rider had arrived on the scene are you saying he would have had to sit behind them at your arbitary 130mph limit? Or is it just quick cars you don't like?
I've written a couple of replies out to the above but have just realised there's no point. I don't know all the facts about the situation you're talking about anyway. 130mph is fast regardless of you being in a car or a bike, to expect to pass anything at those speeds is taking a large risk imo.
And for the record, I enjoy fast cars just as much as fast bikes. I try not to let my ego take over in either case.
Sorry, to be a pedant here, but I never said that, Tony (pugsey) did!
Thousand apologies, this is what you get when you edit your post a few times before posting
I'll get me coat.
