XTreme

You're looking very fit these days @Pedro! But just one point........can we see it with a top box on it?

Chica......the 2008 rescue!

Let's see your vid Yen!

We need to see some of these methods Pedro! The very credibility of Portugal rests on your shoulders!

Fantastic shots Sofia! What camera or phone are you using?

Man three big male?

Of course Sofia! Who hasn't jumped off a moving bike in their time?

And no fucking cheats like standing on pegs either. I know the GSA is a tall bike......but you're not a small guy and you're still young. You reckon Pedro can hack it @Tym?

The exercise was getting on and off a stationary bike......not a moving one Pedro.

You shouldn't be doing a balancing act to get on and off a bike Pedro. How's that going to work out on an an uneven surface and a steep camber? And why no vid? Don't tell me you're worried about being shown up by a Pensioner on a Parts Bin Special?

Yeh.....I was going to say that. Only somebody really light could get away with that. @Tym.......we want to see you get on the other side without using the footpeg!

The area of Swansea where when they get turned down for a council house transfer they burn their current one down! Always used to put my Xmas shopping list into a guy from Penlan! He'd always come up with the items!

The wife is very interested in guns! Not sure whether it's a good idea for a Penlan girl to be brandishing them about really.

This situation has been exacerbated in recent years as the motorcycling demographic has got older.......while bikes have got so much taller. Back in the 70's nobody ever said they had trouble getting on their bike.........the trouble they had then was staying on their bike.

Just told the wife......she wants guns waving!

While waving guns around is what we want! Extra points for firing them!

What with you on the sidestand and @Specs doing his Monty Python "Ministry of Funny Walks".......I think the pair of you need to stay in Wales. You can't cross the border and do that stupid shit in front of the Hanoverians.....we'll never hear the end of it!

Your neighbours must be looking out the windows and pissing themselves Alan! I'm sure @boboneleg is going to come along with an unscrew his leg vid soon!

Cardiff boy can't his leg over.........some things never change then. Would my method help?

Sounds like some weird Cardiff thing to me! Do people look at him stupid when he does it? I'm interested to see what this looks like though.... @Specs......what's this weird shit you do?

Why does he bend over and grab his foot? Can't he just lift his leg up?

Seriously? I'm surprised.......because I didn't think any great flexibility was involved in what I did. I suppose that I was reasonably flexible when I was young.....but at 66 I would have thought that would be long gone.

You haven't reached the geriatric stage yet Fred.......bookmark it for when you do!

By request here's a vid of me getting on and off a Bike......may be some help to others who are old and fucked! It's impossible to describe in words what I do......in the same way as it's impossible to describe how I ride or what I do when I ride. It's just done automatically. Hence the vid! Turn the sound up though cos I'm some distance from the camera! I'm not telling you it's going to solve all or any of your issues......it depends very much how restricted you are in your movements. In my case I've got stretched MCL's in both knees.....so sideways knee movement is out of the question for me. Been that way for 30 years so I'm used to it. So here we go......bear in mind I'm 66 and not as nimble as I was! But this still works for me!

That's actually a very good point Tym!
