Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Obviously nicer weather where you are! Down here it pissed down with rain this afternoon and left the roads covered in puddles. Oh well, it's not like my damn battery has arrived anyway...

Re: It's ALIVE!!!

if I remember right after the ride they were falling to pieces bits were coming off, looked more like crazy paving than a tyre. Should be easy to test them :lol: Don't worry, I'm going to take it very easy, unknown quantity, and see how they are. Any sign of slip or odd behaviour and they're off (h...

Re: What really winds you up on the road?

On the subject of Ninjas, I remember almost getting squashed by a car full of semi-ninjas coming down Globe Road, I'd just...

Re: What really winds you up on the road?

Oh god I hate the...

    Mobile phone users.
    Non functioning indicators.
    Non use of mirrors.
