you barely made a dent in it. but its about the right tool for the job and the bits you used weren't up to it.
That's why I want to get some Cobolt bits.

Not done anything yet, but I'm seriously contemplating taking something off when I get home this afternoon or whether I should wait until the weekend? :confused

Reason being, they're starting to annoy me. Was trying to over take a car on the way to work today, dear god it took forever! What d'ya think, tonight or weekend? :lol:

I want to, I just know I'll bollock something up :lol:

Seriously not impressed that it took me like half a mile to overtake a bloody C1 though.

I've seen scooters get up to speed quicker than me :wink:

Oh no wait, that was Warren with 26bhp. Barely more than a scooter produces. At least I had a decent amount :p

Realised on the ride back why I've become so uncomfortable riding recently, and as a result why my tyres are getting squared down..

When I last went to Lloydies, apart the sorting the front end out we left a bit of fork above the yoke or whatever to speed up steering. Because of this it's harder for my to hold my lines around corners and I'm a lot less eager to take them at the same speeds I used to. So I'm doing them and restrictor this weekend. Proud of myself for realising this :lol:

We only dropped the forks 5mm and that should help to hold the line .
Pop round and I will test it :-)

Okay :p Won't go Hatton then :) I'll PM you my new number too, just in case :thumbup:

And I know, but it just turns too quickly it feels like and I can't hold a line with it. I'm not sure why, as it is only a few mm. Life just hates me :p

As did the C1 I was struggling to overtake :lol: Even if he was doing 80 :p

Ehh, I figured I've done my time. Most people do less than 1 month, I've done 8.. :p
