I mostly ride with my thumb on top (I used to lift weights the same way) but the thumb muscle pad hurts really quickly.
These new grips (Ergon GA2 FAT) were much better on all but semi-paved/semi-rocky canal path.

Re: Mr Postman
....Try not hooking your thumbs under/around the grips until you have to (downhills, rough ground,etc.)....I had the same issues for ages, tried different grips, bars, levers, etc. Changing my hand positioning solved it all almost immediately.

Re: What are you doing today ??
... high river levels are displacing them. Byron and I saved one in a certain spot and the next day with the other kids in the car we drove past the same spot.. and had to save another turtle. So many get run over because people just don’t give a sh*t. Pissed me off.

Re: Norton Motorcycles
A suspended sentence for any crime other than drink driving or assaults is pointless, this man has his (others) money so doesn't need to do the same again does he. That's all the suspended part is intended to do, deter repeat offences.

Re: What ails you today?
Thankfully the bike is fine and I'm just bruised on my knee/shin and got a super sore shoulder. I hit the same root I always hit except it was a bit wetter than I realised. Immediately after the root is a roller/mound which I hit with a wheel pointing the wrong way. Just after ...

The alleged reason for Ukraine is they don't have the same rules which prevent the US from doing it on their own territory. The same goes for Asia. I think if the US was/is doing something like that then there's nothing to stop them doing it pretty ...
