I was getting worried for the mental gixxa's safety there for a second

then realised twas just a bit of backyard maintenance. Gotta luv that axle stand - a.k.a. tree stump!

Been fairly quiet up here, we don't

unless it's blue skies and less than 2 knots cross wind

I am in, but it is dependent on Saturdays unpacking, also the amount of sleep I will get on Sat night, and if I have adjusted my chain by then.

Another 1000km and I have not adjusted my chain!!! and its a bit more lose then I want it to be. I think a longer chain is the resualt of last Sundays short fangings.

Oh it also needs a clean, heaven forbid I take it out on a Sunday ride without a wash first.

Yeah I found it in a paddock so according to my theory it counts as a paddock stand.

We've been having some mint days down here, hardly ever icy in the mornings anymore. Cant wait to get the gixxer all back together and go for some nice gently putts through the spring countryside

For a smoother ride & better wear on your tyre, check these out.
Will bring them along tonight before I get them in my tyres.

if they were that good they would be used in racing when you dont have the time to balance a tyre

yeah? Interesting idea, not sure how it would work though, that log will give your a bumpy ride no matter what.

EDIT, ok so you where actually being serious.

From Q & A section in the States :

Can I use Dyna Beads for motorcycle road racing?

No. The inner liner compound of motorcycle road racing tires is too soft to allow Dyna Beads to perform properly. (this does not apply to off-road motorcycle racing)
