When emergency braking squeeze the front brake don't grab it. Let the presure build smoothly,the weight must be on the front wheel before max presure is on. Regards Richard

Great day and really nice to meet everybody.

Really good to get motorways sorted out. And the bridge. Easy really.

Anybody else notice a funny harmonic on the new motorway?

Tired now but time for shower and to get kiddys.
