Worldbeater panniers (Verns)

[(RIP) Yosi]

Ok, Mr. Vern put me down in your list but I'm not in a rush so I don't mind if I'm the last in the batch. Please send tel. number/address and I'll come to see you. Nearest pub for a drink or a spot of lunch?

By the way, I remember, as other veteran members certainly do, a certain run in Wales a couple of years ago you guided. One of the best the club has ever done. What about a repeat for those who missed the event then?
Still remember the cake under pouring rain!!

Still remember the cake under pouring rain!!

Tip, never let a welder make a cake, mmmm lovley ...... complete with knife, (although an angle grinder would of been more appropriate) and cutting board

 

[Vern]

Ok Grove you barsturd,no more cake for you sonny Jim,I think I'll make a set of sponge panniers for you.Anyway,I bet I can bake a cake better than bakerman can make a set of panniers.You are so dead at playtime

 

[Paul G (BHT)]

As long as you don't make me a set out of sponge or beat me up in the play ground I'll place an order then.... I've tried to resist but really do miss the demo set.

The saying.... "you never know what you had untill you loose it" springs to mind. What I got in one of yours fills my two Zega cases

How did you manage to sus the TARDIS out..... these thing's don't look that big on the outside yet they seem to be bottomless pits, as Mr Bakes found out on a recent visit, a whole crate of bread in one

 

[Vern]

Oh,so you want some panniers now do you,we'll have to see about that.What colour icing do you want on them,pink for a girl I suppose

 

[simon thomas]

...Vern, so sorry to learn of your "PILES" problem. I understand the condition can be acutely painful both physically and socially .

...I'm a little suprised that Mr Grove decided to post a picture of your bike with the "PILE PROTECTOR SEAT" still in place. Is it a specialist piece of kit?

Never mind keep on rubbing in the cream Just make sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterwards

Cheers
Simon T

 

[Vern]

You sure know how to be discrete you little charmer,did your mummy tell you what piles are? I don't use cream anyway,I use fruit cake,I just took it out to rub some in,and everyone started to eat it,I never had the heart to tell them

 

[simon thomas]

Yep my mummy did tell me what piles is...she showed me hers

Got any pictures of you actually applying the fruit cake remedy.

Those currents and raisens have gotta' make you whince

Cheers
Simon T

Vern,

Put me down on your list of lucky purchasers for £450. Money up front is okay.

I can't make it to the Air Balloon on the 18th this time as I am on holiday till 21st, so don't worry if I don't reply to any messages till then.

I guess the slow response from UKGSers is because people don't really appreciate the quality of the product till they have seen it in the metal. I hope you don't have to wait too long before 10 people commit.

Cheers,

Ian.

 

[Vern]

Ian,well done,you won't regret it.We'll talk when you're back.Have a good hols, and don't forget my stick of rock!
Bryan,I think I'm going to have to make them fit everything eventually,are you offering the use of your bike for a jig sometime in the future

Seen 'em in the flesh

Met up with Vern yesterday at BVM to have a look at the beasts - not as big in the flesh as they are in the pics. Fantastic looking workmanship - even given that these are the test mules they are clearly built to do the business. I'm up for a set but due to having to carve through traffic every day I'm gonna go a bit narrower.

Here are a couple of pics that show them off quite well I think

Can you believe he tried to charge me for taking them! Good work Vern, keep me posted.

[judge]

Vern's reluctance to have the pictures taken was done with good intentions - he didn't want to expose women and children to the true horror of his homemade front fender extender

[the civil one]

Have you ever

Andy have you ever thought of xchangeing your yellar seat,s for an O so pretty set of RED un,s.. UR,s CIVILITY HIMSELF,, PS WHEN

 

[Vern]

I am so sorry to have offended any wimmin or children with my "fender extender",but I had no control of the photographer. Without that on there, TK's and a high mudguard sling water/mud and anything else you ride on, off the top of the front wheel in front of you,and you ride straight into it,constantly.Even when it's stopped raining,you still get soaking wet if there's still water on the road.Most people who used to ride enduro/motorcross, used to stretch an old inner tube over the front mud guard with the same result.It's all about making the bike better for yourself,that's how it should be I think.
civil 1, I'm afraid my yeller seat's are pretty shagged out.
