Another hello

Post by driftwood » Wed Jul 16, 2014 10:08 am

Good morning all!
New member from Sheffield.
Currently without a c90 but hopefully getting one in the near future!
Hope it can cope with the hills around here?!?
Respect to those of you who've been here a while - cracking forum and info!

Welcome aboard! :D

Hills aren't necessarily a problem, though if they're really vicious gradients, don't expect 'arms ripped out of sockets' performance up them! :lol:

Thanks!
I guess it's a case of slow and steady...but you still get there!

Yep. Cubs really come into their own in town. Tortoise and the hare come to mind. I often get overtaken by something faster but I poodle up next to them at the next set of lights. Ooh, they just hate that, take off like a blue ass fly only to see me in their rear view mirror coming up from behind again. :lol: Leap-frogging I call it.

As has been proven here time and time again, a Cub will take you anywhere, as long as you have the time to do it! ;)

I'm pretty sure it'll be faster than my push bike anyway! Haha.
Commuting through town is the plan - I'm very much looking forward to filtering past all of the cars crawling along!

Thanks Leiba!
I'm almost too ashamed to ask how you corrected the picture....?
I even read the 'how to post pictures' thread, before having a go!!
:oops:

I'll whisper it.
