Whats yer crack?

Good shit and bad shit in Mikeworld recently. My gout has fucked off (thank fuck) and I'm mobile again. Gout was really fucking sore. I'd rather spend all day getting booted in the balls than get gout again.
More good shit is that I've been given a car! Thanks to my Uncle Greaser I'm now the proud owner of a Ford Fiesta Ghia. Its fucking great. Electric everything and pretty good on fuel.

Another good point about the Foost is I can fit my Pugsley in the back. Now I can head further afield. I arranged a pedal around Tyninghame with "Beachboss." Unfortunately Beachboss poofed out due to having sore guts or something equally as lame. So I had my final ride on the Pugsley on my todd. I say final ride as I found this on my frame.

After several thousand miles by the previous owner Bruce and a fair few by myself the seatpost has cracked. Nightmare. 

The final ride was a good one though. Ravensheugh and Tyninghame are stunning places to visit with really nice beaches and nice views of the Bass Rock. I took my wee Ricoh and the Gopro. Here's the photos and the film. Please note the abuse for Beachboss.

    Glad you kicked the gout out. Hopefully for good.

    Good thing you noticed the cracked seat stem before it broke while riding. Me thinks that would have been an 'uncomfortable' landing over a jump and you may have been wishing for the gout back.

    Thanks for sharing the great pics and video.

    Michael couldn't you have ground the frame and had it welded? Guessing they're steel?
    Nice one on the car. You didn't buy it though so I suppose I can't say I told you so... Think we may have some Fiesta parts still kicking about up here from our mk3.
