Perspective chaps, lets keep a little, you’re snivelling cyclist snitches ratting out a few poor motorists, who heaven help us don’t have enough agro already in their daily lives being the cash cow they are to the state.

Personally in my time I’ve been the ‘have a go hero’ I believe the term was when we were being encouraged in that direction, got a black eye and lost a contact lenses for my trouble helping a Taxi driver who was being assailed by local language students of arabic appearance, I’ve pulled folk out of the channel, saved kids who have fallen down cliffs, gone to assist with first aid at car crashes before the medics arrive and assorted other examples of good samaritan action that I would reason anyone else would have done in similar circumstances, certainly anyone from my generation.

No I wouldn’t help the police under any circumstance these days other than rape and or murder if I were in a position so to do. The police have lost all my respect years ago, now that maybe because of governmental box ticking, but all I see are soft target acquiring cowards who shrink from any serious issues unless they have NCA backing.

And the more of you that follow our friend down the ratting out route, the more I’m likely to join any appeals to have commuter cyclists number plated up, what’s grease for the goose…

PS I thoroughly enjoyed Dennis Skinners interview and take on things, a shame there are not more conviction politicians like him, but then he’s from my era. I may not agree with everything indeed not much of what he says but I applaud his ability to say it and the fast disappearing culture of its tolerance.

... currently under the guise of geex and awaiting yet another ban, I think.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

… currently under the guise of geex and awaiting yet another ban, I think.

way off the mark there

Must be Graeme then. I always get the two mixed up.

Aw, I miss kaesae. 😥 One of life's entertaining lunatics.

This one ended up quite short, but I always thought it was a rather under-rated classic.

@tthew
Thanks for that,I missed it first time around, I am now imagining Andrewh trying emergency stops 🙂 🙂
..and a 🙁 for kaesae,I still have packs of spare bearings from him.

.and a 🙁 for kaesae,I still have packs of spare bearings from him.

and he had a few spare bike frames for which he ended up being convicted of Reset (Scottish version of handling stolen goods). He wasn't just a harmless fruit cake. Still a tragic waste of a young life though.

Lunatic, yes. Entertaining, not so much. Think he was banned from most forums before his business got off the ground.

Flap jacky?

GT72 and Dave.

Maybe we should crowd fund him one of the new OnOne/Sick frames so he can finally ride with dave in the woods.

Of course that would mean Brant re naming the 650b version Louise.

I forgot about 'outdoor girlfriend'...

Kaesae was a full weight tool

I'm not saying I'm not either, but he definitely was

Can we stop with the comments on Kasae now please.

Sorry but you're all wrong.

My thread about leasing a Skoda from Ling HAS to be right up there? 3200 comments, absolutely dominated my life for a good 36 hours 🤣🤣

CBA searching bit are Houns' gym girl.and leather trenchcoat there?

Carbon cataclysm/flame-ageddon?

The geetee/Dave ,unrequited love thread still makes me laugh.
9 years ago!!!

Houns gym girl was a classic, has to be up there!

Plus I really liked: https://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/welcome-to-the-internet/

Although all the video links are broken due to the forum 'upgrade'.

Just re-read the wife/wifi thread for the first time since it was closed, brilliant bit of work by everyone involved, with an extra special mention to deadslow for his outstanding contribution near the end!

Houns gym girl was a classic

I hesitate to ask, but have you a link?

This one passed me by I think.

Bookmarked. Sudocreme cat thread to accompany sandwiches tomorrow.

"Kaesae was a full weight tool"

He was also ridiculed and belittled on this forum until he committed suicide.

For his faults he was still human.

Berating Kaesae after what has happened, hang your heads....

I have to agree.

I read a thread he started today and with the benefit of hindsight found it profoundly saddening.

He was also ridiculed and belittled on this forum until he committed suicide.

He was also ridiculed and belittled on this forum, and he committed suicide. Whilst the former may not have helped, it's something of a leap to imply that it was wholly causal. He was clearly a troubled individual to start with.

It should however hopefully serve as a poignant reminder to think before you type. If you wouldn't say something to someone's face, you probably shouldn't be hammering it out on a keyboard.

Indeed, Kaesae had his challenges and a different view on life however he was a great help in sorting out a lot of bike problems and always had time for us and we were sad to hear he took his own life. Let this one go please. Move on.

I don't remember seeing houns gym girl thread on there when I went through it. I don't remember that either, must have slipped by me too. Sounds, ummm, intriguing though......

I honestly didn't know about kaesae, if I'd known I would have gone to the trouble of copying and pasting each link. It's sad whenever something like this happens.

Didn't mean to start a debate, sorry.

Not your fault at all gnusmas, he made what could be described as aa lively start on here but he was extremely helpful to lots on here with his bearing kits and advice.

I thought that was your brother in law's thread.

All this talk of Kaesae has got me wondering, whatever happened to jivehoneyjive?

Agree, those commenting about Kaesae need to take a good long look at themselves

Sadly my gym girl thread (2005 vintage) was lost due to the hack. Happily it spawned some great friendships and of course the invention of the Rohypocinno (™️ Of a little otter iirc)

just rereading one of those threads with knowledge of what's transpired since then and cringing slightly.
