So I went out for a ride tonight n while out I stopped off at a friends for a catch up. While there he asked me to fit a new cracker to his stock whip so I took it with me when I left. Last couple of Ks has a long steep downhill in a gorge. I tucked in n got to over 60kmh when I had the idea of cracking the whip for the last half. I shook the whip out n started cracking out, the echos of the valley walls was awesome! Got some funny looks from the joggers n walkers but I couldn't stop smiling so I just kept cracking the whip n enjoying the echos.
Just wanted to share my moment of insanity that has me smiling still.
What was your surreal thing done on a ride?
I've no idea what I've just read.
I presume it’s still mushroom season?
I used to ride horses on Exmoor many years ago.
The guy we hired our horses from would sometimes ride with us. He carried a beautiful whip, Bone handle and leather plaited thong.
He would always start the ride by gathering us all in the Yard and cracking his whip over the heads of the gathered riders and horses :o)
I needed a new heel for my shoe. So, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumble bees on them. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now was I... Oh yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt at the time. You couldn't get where onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones
You know what I'd do? Put a post up on a bike forum and tell everyone.
Aardvark.
Say what now?
I competed in the 2012 World Chainless Championship in Crested Butte dressed as Winnie the Pooh ! The donor was a bean bag sat forlornly outside a thrift store , took all the stuffing out and poked it's eyes out so I could see where I was going.We were bussed to the start I was amongst huge bulging blokes dressed as ballerinas , nurses even babies ? When we got out of the bus the Tannoy was blasting out Welcome To The Jungle . The start marshall was dressed in a white boiler suit and a hard hat he threw the hat into the air when it hit the ground we were off ! Trouble is they'd moved our bikes so we had to find them !
I remember riding back into the arena with the crowd shouting Go Winnie Go ! Is this surreal enough? I'm glad someone took some photos to prove it wasn't a dream !
i thought this was going to be about dogging. I am disappointed.

You mean it wasn't?!
Some of you Americans must have been involved in “The Straight Story” film? Seeing a ride-on mower towing a trailer must have been unusual? Iowa?

And then they made me President of the USA
My buddy what are you talking about
At first I assumed 'cracker' was an autocorrect of 'crankset' and the OP was helping fit it to a bike hitherto unmodified from its factory build. Then it all got weird.

Finding the strap-on dildo. I ride alone these days.
Guess you had to be there, lol. Glad someone got a chuckle out of my post.

If you're flexible enough, why would you need anyone else?
I'm 98% confused by all of this. But as you are a full member I believe your intentions were honourable
haha, i thought it was gonna be some steamy car windows, a few years ago, went passed a parked car and a
blond lady looked up in just a fur coat wide open with her chest out :0)
Have I logged into only fans without my usual email?

I mean, I know what all those words mean, but together in that ensemble, not so much.
