Re: What ails you today?

Neck, back and legs aching horribly after a rotten job yesterday that saw me working in extremely awkward positions all day. The pain this morning getting out of bed harked back to my days before my hip got changed and when I was on a box of 500mg paracetamol per day just to function. I'd forgotten ...

Re: New Street Triple coming - 10th January

If the basic is £8k they can't really sell the RS for any more than £9.5k otherwise you're getting too close to the 1050 speed triple price. You can stiill get the 94 model S3 for £9k although the current model is supposed to retail at £11,900

... no smarter than anyone else in a different field, and probably way more apathetic as the issues hit too close to home...and when emotions start getting in the way, little good is likely to come of it. Objectivity follows rationale.....right out of the window.

If you succeed in getting something done outside of procedure, no on ever thanks you for it, they just assume the procedure worked. But if you stuff up and cause an injury ...

I know I sound like a knobhead weekend warrior now - sorry (lol)

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

A controlled slide on the track is a different ball game to getting the back slide on your when you're on the road.

The TC settings are adjustable so it's worth having a tweak to see what's best for you.
