'Are you scramblers?'

peter · Clubman B

That was so very well put Pete but one day just try saying that we are tossers on crossers, wish them a good day and ride off into the distance on the back wheel. Now that would make a cracking video!!!

I'd probably have to say yes!

Rambling more like biggrin , I think she was trying to convey she used to do scrambling at one point which is why she asked the question?

Anyway, nice touch with the lights horn number plate etc in the conversation. Should have added license, insurance, road tax, rider training, roadworthyness test, rider being a legal competent age and ability and legal obligation to wear an approved helmet.

....and you on your dobbin, you need what exactly?

Mr Harris and I, many years ago, were riding the lane below Lower Ting Tong, nice and steady taking in the rays and the countryside air, when all of a sudden two old bids came flying round the corner on their steeds, full gallop.
Absolutely no chance of missing them so we did what came naturally - aim for the ditches on both sides.
Both of us sat on our asses in the opposite ditches - laughing like drains.
Both of us together "Fair Play", that was impressive.
Both old bids were laughing their heads off, having well and truly put one over on us!

------and you on your dobbin, you need what exactly? - Deep pockets and a ridiculous amount of time - I know, we have three of those s--t machines.
Sue loves them.

Me - Ok, wash it off and park it up!

Aye, know many with horses around these parts. Neddies are down right money pits.

What baffles me is why you need all the gear and such to ride a moped that does 30 mph max, yet horse riders apart from required to wear helmets if under 14? need nothing. Similarly so why bicycle riders that I have clocked doing 45mph need no helmet, regardless of age. Granted when I was a kid I had no helmet but back then they did not exist, it rubs me up the wrong way when my friends kids habitually ride with no helmet down country lanes even though the youngest is 8.

I spent quite bit of time in rehab when I had the Gullian Barre and one young lad about 20 years of age had locked in syndrome. Was in a wheel chair, could not move or speak and had to be stood up in the special chair every so often to keep him alive. I later learned he had fell of a bicycle and hit his head. Prognosis was not good. Why O why is it not a legal requirement yet especially for kids to wear a helmet, its not like they are expensive.

Are You A Scrambler??

Well I think we need to define what a scrambler is. If we refer to the WWW and the iconic Urban Dictionary, it gives us many meanings of the word.

Have a look and decide if you really are a scrambler - especially item (2) Pete smile

1. scrambler

A drug runner; A drug courier; especially from DelMarVa area of the East Coast

2. scrambler

1) A guy whose sexual orientation is ambiguous.

2) A guy who gives off mixed signals; one who scrambles even the most sophisticated gaydar, leaving friends and acquaintances unsure of whether he's really gay or not.

Example 1: "Yeah, I still haven't figured out if Ryan Seacrest is gay or not. Either my gaydar's malfunctioning, or he's a scrambler."

Example 2: "I want to ask Conner out on a date, but I'm not even sure if he's straight. What a scrambler!"

3. scrambler

while having sex with someone you look away like at a wall or some other object and think about something other than sex such as why do we fry chicken

4. Scrambler

a dog, usually a tiny one, that has to run quickly to keep a normal pace with a human or another dog. The scrambling effect is seen when a dog has to move his paws more than twice as fast as any other dog just to keep up.

5. scrambler

the vehicle used by a scally from liverpool usually a member of the lacoste wearers (thats nearly everyone)

6. scrambler

Jeep CJ-8, the hottest jeep ever
Limited Edition made from 1981 - 1986
Like CJ-7 but longer body and wheelbase

That was better than TV! Poor lady couldn't get a word in. Only joking...it was really well done and I must remember some of your conversation next time I meet a horse and rider. I like scrabblers. 2 on toast and a cuppa tea.

Cleverspoon · Clubman B

Good lad!! I may have to rehearse that script :) im all for going out and enjoying the countryside and making the most of the public roads before they become bridle ways (thanks to the trf for keeping them public roads etc). And im all for horse riders and walkers doing the same, if your polite to each other then you can pass sensibly (i allways pull in and engine off for horses, makes life easier and safer) but why do some horse riders ruin it with an attitude? Then when you tell them its a public road etc and prove it on an ordenance survey map they go quiet and dissappear.

Well said tho pete, put them in their place very politely!!
