    Perfection is not something you should ever attain, but something to always strive for. For if we actually achieve our idea of perfection, is it then any longer perfect?

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    I knew your bike broke mate and I was waiting for the pictures, but I didn't think it would look like that.

    It's all fixed now. Rear bearing shat itself and to my surprise, it was in stock. Unfortunately it wasn't covered by warranty.

    New bike arrives next week. Oh baby.

    Or until you tried to engage a gear and smacked the back of your head on the pavement. You've got to love physics.

    It has the appropriate number hasn't it? Cause that's what you'd be doing when you rode it.
