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.

Potential newbies should avoid watching that put them off for life
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?

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.
