    cheers for the advice yeah i was going to flop out the CGA if they started getting shifty... it's cnell gear, so not exactally dianesse or rev'it quality, but still, to get 5 months out of a pair of pants is a bit of a have, especially when they weren't the cheepest

    I wont be there sorry. Got stuff to do and am trail riding on Wednesday.

    VTR will get pulled apart for swingarm mods, frame mods, and maybe a flywheel job. Will start on the CBR motor tomorrow as well.

    Won't be there for the ride, and not likely for the pub as I've got in-law-itis again...

    I am sitting here at work and it is getting very dark out there.
    I have checked the rain radar and there is a big band of rain that will be passing over about the time we will be on the road.

    So I am making the call that there will be no road riding.
    I will be at the pub having a hot chocolate and who ever turns up, we can begin the flowchart that we talked about last week.

    Thunder heads moving through out west, lots of lightening.

    I recommend heading home and staying there.

    Did anybody go last night?

    I got the VTR back legal today. Had to ride back in the rain. Found my rearset pegs are way to worn. As they are a old race model finding new ones could be fun. My feet were slipping off. Will see if a engineering shop can re-knurl them.

    VTR may come back to Sass sometime soon. Sharry wont be coming out through winter so I can bring it out to play.

    I stayed at home apart from going for a WOF. Must go price up some of those bar end mirrors like on your bike.

    I took the bike to work today. Going in was all right. Very light rain. But coming back was a different story all together. Lol. So many puddles to watch out for.

    As i'm carless atm i really haď no choice. Going in was ok, bit of a drizzle. Coming home however.... wow. New gear is the business, stayed relatively dry. Gloves and boots got drenched but overall not too bad. Gear is again around the dehumidifier, already pulled 3 litres of water out. Nearly dry.... do it all again tomorrow yay
