Grazed knees

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by jivedubbin, Sep 26, 2021.

  1. As many `of a certain age ` will probably remember , the local woods were our playground and well before the days of mountain bikes we just took our old pushbikes up there for innocent adventures . With most of us being under ten it didn`t end well with broken limbs , gashed heads / arms / legs etc but Richard Stokes topped all our efforts by trying to ride down the `double hill` resulting in an unexpected moment of gravity defying free flight prior to hitting a tree about 10 feet up knocking himself out and punching his bottom teeth through his bottom lip - very messy , we thought he was dead and ran home to find his mum ....

    Eeeee .... them were t`days :thumbsup:

  8. We still use it, well the wife uses gallons of it per year. Thankfully we can still get it in spite of brexit, that's a problem I don't want to have to solve...
