I just spotted this and thought it's an interesting choice of model name

Interesting and worryingly correct.

My brother has a dirt jump frame called the Duncon Cock. My parents were amused when that turned up the doorstep many years ago. Suffice it to say they got used to it and would make inappropriate jokes whenever he went for a ride!

Also doesn't seem to be properly locked to the pole or am I seeing it wrong? It will properly be jeopardised if that's the case I guess...that is if it hasn't already!

A brief diversion into the world of motorcycle tyres.
3 or 4 years ago I was chatting with a manager at the head office of a tyre manufacturer, who informed me that their new off-road tyre was just days away from going into production.
It was to be named after a US national park by the tyre's US development team, but the derivation of the park's name had completely passed them by and the tyre was about to be called the Teton.
Thanks to smutty schoolboy humour 50 years ago I knew the park's name originated with early French explorers calling the mountain peaks Les Trois Teton, or The Three Teats.
Thankfully they heeded my warning and gave the tyre another name, otherwise it might forever have been known as the Nipple.

Surely Oversize Pulsator can’t be beaten….its casually sitting outside a Big Sainsbury’s.
There is absolutely no need for a lock.

BotM!
Not only is that blessed with a magnificent name, both Hubris and Double Entendre, but ...
look at that groupset, and accessorisation, ye mighty,
and despair!
@sheppf1000 can you extend the gift of retrobike membership to this magnificent gentleman
(it's not a ladies bike after all is it?)
next time you spot his superb conveyance?
