Spare master cylinder ? Feck thats keen.

I have some spare pegs and levers. Got spare rims for wets ? That would be at the top of my list.

Absolutely but these master cylinders seem to snap the lower lever lug real easy in a drop. Having a spare lever with nothing to screw it to could be a problem at the end of the back straight. I figure if it's in the spares box I'll never need it. Fingers crossed. Spare wheels would be cool but I think we will have go without. Hopefully Invergiggle weather will phuckin behave itself this year.

I thought I was back in Wellington when the wind was so strong the rain never got a chance to hit the phuckin ground. Fair phucked our pit tent too! Phuckin chinese shit didn't know what hit it. Sarah and I were so wet as we packed up, when they announced there would be a few beers later on we laughed so hard that we actually stopped shivering. Can't possibly be that bad 2 years in a row, can it?

I don't know but I would recommend not having your handlebar mounts done up so tight that the Master wont swivel in a drop. Might save up for one of those fancy folding levers. Put one on our little Ninja and it's pretty cool.
