    If we're talking the same club, then the rallies that club ran were always a hoot, and I looked forward to them. The members were an interesting mix. Including one memorable transgender. As a guy, you were either totally relegated to the irrelevant (by the lesbians) or they were all over you, 'cause all they really wanted was a man'. (Ehem...I won the cuddliest butt award in one rally - a crowning moment...). I'm pleased to advise that I excelled in the handbag toss, but wasn't the biggest tosser there.

    I always brought Mandy with me to hide behind....Anyway, enough of a thread hijack...
    IT'S JUST BETTER WHEN THERE'S TWINS INVOLVED..

    Prolly not... Sydney Roadrunners.

    A gay workmate & learner biker wanted me to accompany him as he didn't know what to expect riding in a group. After a few stops/chinwags I had to point out to him that ppl thought we were a couple... which didn't worry me but wasn't helping his chances. They were pretty keen riders and good company (at least the gays were) so we rode with them a fair bit. Never seen such a high percentage of V-Max's in any other group!
    Cheers,

    yea I contemplated going for a mudplug but noticed that my battery had lost the bulk of its water (probly from last sunday when we were upside down) so it is on charge now.

    Did you not go to the bach?

    Intiminators

    Just been thinking about Padmei's Intiminator issues.

    The complete lack of "Intiminatorness" could happen if he was sent some 39mm ones instead of 41mm...

    Then it'd actually feel softer than stock because of the thinner oil...

    The packet says for 08+ so I guess it was the rigt one. I drained the forks & put it all back in as per instructions etc.
    After my ride yesterday "I think" they are working but arent really worried anymore - the bike handles fine but will be a bit more wary of buying stuff for it.

    I think the way to get my bike handling better is for me to get more experienced - more riding time

    As the man says the best thing you can spend money on for your bike is gas.

    something aint right.

    my bike was completely different after doing the forks. there is no way you could be unaware of the change - something is wrong. What the packet says and what the packet contains may not be the same.

    I'm thinking they may have put the wrong size in the box...

    Dunno bout that, mine slipped in quite loosely, and mine is an o5 so musta been the right ones .

    padmei, maybe you will notice the difference in the long term, and you are right about time in the saddle, it is the best thing you can do.

    we will have to do a swaparoo on some rough stuff one day soon to do a comparo between pre 08 and 08 etc, i don't think the wee ride the other day woulda told you much really.
