Still got your Beverly in Dobles, not surprised at the money he's put on it.
Love the Vids, I lived in Tadworth and Drift Bridge, and did commuting into London for years, and much riding around that area in the 60's.

Fair play for sharing and getting back on a bike.

You don't wanna see my one then... I slid along the top some metal railings for about 3-4 metres before flopping over the other side.

Was that the roundabout one where you tried to sneak your way into the back seat of a car?

That sounds comical.... I mean horrendous. WTF happened?

As I recall there was a long thread including a video discussing same.
I think it was entitled RTA.
If it was, the video has subsequently been deleted and the thread heavily edited with at least one blatant falsehood added in.
Which is a shame because you're correct, it was comical.

I removed the thread due to the fact its still on going, I'll only post it again after it is resolved.

I am curious though, gn2, what blatant falsehood are you on about?

It is hilarious, I do agree.

The video I remember seeing was of you going over railings at a roundabout.
It happened because you put yourself up the inside of a car which was using the roundabout correctly, which I pointed out using a picture from the highway code.
I think it was this thread: http://www.maxi-muppets.co.uk/forum/vie ... 2&p=209028
If that is indeed the thread it has had a good clean up and a falsehood inserted on your behalf by someone else.
Of course, maybe that RTA thread was another of your incidents, I think there's been a few.
