We lived in Aden back in the 60's and my Dad saw a lightning plough straight into the deck at an air show there.

The locals applauded apparently, thinking it was part of the show.

My 6 identical flashlights have just arrived from China. (thumbs) seemed a good idea to order them at the time as they where cheap. :)

I can't believe how much fun it is. I was practicing some tight turns stood up on the pegs at the back of our house.
Then I tried the same thing on my 450 exc, bloody hell, the KTM was like Super Tanker.

A new 2015 Cannondale Trigger mountain bike, reduced from £2699 to £999. I thought it was a typo at first as other bike shops had it advertised at around £1900-2000, but I ordered it from Pauls Cycles on a Thursday and it arrived on the following Saturday morning B)
