DISASTER

 

They cant post the order, it's been cancelled. Something to do woth XPI shipping not taking it as it's too big...

fuck...

right, i'm gonna speak to flashed...

I'm not giving up just yet, though getting the pads from flashed looked well expensive before...

arse.


anyone here live in BC?

[chappers]

there are people from BC on here...
if you need i can sort you out with a nice reliable guy's email who may be able to post you something over. he works for sugoi, and regularly sends me things that arrive just a few days later. PM me, im sure that ash will not ming helping you out.

[BD]

you might want to consider this:
crappy airpad alert

an airpad made in sweden. ugly as hell and developed in cooperation with 8a.nu. 2 major turn-offs but only 365euros if you're quick and free shipping. Might be the best option for all those old guys here .

I must admit I'm intrigued by this. You're right it looks awful though.
I'd really like to know how or if these compare to the Flashed pads in use rather than in theory before buying though.

[fatdoc]

look shite to me...

i'm not making much headway on this, might be asking chappers for his mate to sort me out, just need to get over the expense of my new bike lights first!

A Canadian friend of mine is bringing a Ronin across for me at the end of the month - meeting him at Font. So we will test it and if they seem the bogs dollocks then we might look at importing. But we might loan it out for testing to the odd person or 2 - if they renew of course

Cheers

Nice one... keep me informed. I've looked into this in detail as you know. One matter I have not resolved is the dock fees if you import by ship (takes > 6weeks as well).

I have reference numbers from customs re duty rates. As the works is VAT registered this will be easier for you, a lot easier! But I can give you basic ideas of the import rates. I dont know what you paid for with the revolution pad import you did, as the ronins are classed as roll upable mats the rate was in the order of 6.3% on total of all costs including importation freight fees. That's why I tried to get MEC to send me a couple over - the air shipping they charge is way cheap!

If you wanna bring 2 over I'll have one off you!

Of course I'll be looking foreward to a 10% discount from the works if you do import a bulk lot. Being a full member an all 

[GraemeA]

Talk to you next time you are down the Works

[fatdoc]

cool, when you workin?

i can just pop down if you want 

[Dolly]

Me too for all this please big G

[fatdoc]

there's a market here.. I can smell it 

more importantly, I want one...

[lagerstarfish]

there's a market here.. I can smell it 

more importantly, I want one...

A market or a Ronin?

[GraemeA]

Jon

I am on lock-up duty tomorrow night (Wednesday) so pop in around 9pm if you can. Have a natter about things. You will be gob smacked to hear that it's not as simple (ie cheap) as it seems even after your research.

Graeme

Ps Dolly, your inclusion in any loaning-for-free-testing-deal depends on your behaviour in the future. You and the good Dr G's behaviour should have seen you committed. Now whether in my eyes that kind of behaviour is to be applauded or condemned is for you to work out 

[GraemeA]

BTW do you think that us buying in a shed load of Pale Rider for future Works slideshows would be a good thing?

[fatdoc]

fuck yeah... pale rider must be adored by any man, surely


 

[GraemeA]

Right, I have an excuse, hick, to trundle off, hick, to Kelham Island to, hick, attempt to purchase, hick, a large amount of Pale, hick, Rider. Hick.

 

[GraemeA]

Wow, I love the effect, synchronised drinking, the new Olympic sport!!

[lagerstarfish]

ScUm supporters have been practising synchronised  ing for years.... still doesn't look as good as synchronised  ing. Nice find

Idea of test driving these things before buying is top.

[GraemeA]

I'd really like to know how or if these compare to the Flashed pads in use rather than in theory before buying though.

Well Dolly as well as arranging for a Ronin to arrive at the Works in a few weeks we have also just ordered a Swedish airbag so we can do a test between the 2 systems. I reckon we hire a cherrypicker and drop Fatdoc from increasing heights onto both mats until we break him and see which is the best 

[Norton Sharley]

I'll pay to come and watch as long as I get to drink some of the free Pale Rider 

[Jaspersharpe]

This sounds like a great night's entertainment.

[fatdoc]

geee,


thanks...

I'll have a go though!!

[Dolly]

This is great great news.
We could charge £5 for anyone who wants to er.. watch.

I guess I should stump up for the Pale Rider to compensate for the behaviour of me and Dr G last time 

[SA Chris]

Reckon The Works could capture the early market by renting these things out.

[fatdoc]

no shit...

I just WANT ONE

as does dolly, dylan, fatboyflimfast and a few others with dislocated ankles / plates in situ... current pads are not the total business
