Subtle. Distinct. Unmistakable. 

Am I the only one who is sick of all this dope shit?

OK, so we all "knew" the Yellow Texan was lying all along. And we also knew what happened to him. Eventually. Good riddance.

But FFS, now it's come home, big time.
David George just busted. EPO. Twat. He's really fucked it up for a lot of other people.
And again, no prizes for guessing that he was a one-time associate of "that" Yellow Texan.

It gets more personal than that, Kevin Evans and David George came riding through my little town on their way to winning the Cape Pioneer Trek.

Now I'm no particular fan of racing, particularly the kind with choppers hovering overhead and all the usual bullshit, but I am a fan of Kevin Evans. Never met him personally, but he comes across as just an unassuming, decent guy. And he can ride. With a smile on his face.

Kevin, I'd like to hear you come out and make a VERY clear statement about all this shit.

Out of the depths...

....of the comments on BSNYC comes this gem.

Learn from the RAF (the real one, not the Road Accident Fund)


Yes, yes, yes, this is very lazy blogging. Bear with me.

Yellow. Shit. Storm.

I'm glad about two things:

1. He wasn't a hero to my kids

2. My T-shirt lasted till the end
