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

Backed the rebound and compression off a turn on the front today and oddly the rear feels so much better. Definitely getting quicker and getting a lot more feed back from the bike, especially in the slower corners. I arrived at the bottom of Itchy's Leap at about 120, at least 30mph ...

Re: Bikers incriminate themselves with helmet cams

LOL......poor Donald!!


It goes both ways I suppose...there was a well publicized incident locally a few years ago where a driver claimed a rider caused her wreck with his car....her footage proved otherwise and the guy ended up getting 6 months for it.

Getting to the 10th rep usually sees me with pins and needles in both arms and my wrists really hurting! I can't take it on the shoulders either. I ...

Re: What you watching?

... just for research purposes. I'll have the full film on tonight. My wife thinks the TV is too small for watching films so I might be looking at getting a new one. TBH I'm not a massive fan of large screens. This one is 36 inches and that seems big enough for me.
