    Good to meet you all. Glad I went, considering the weather. And thanks for the tips - brake maintenance won't seem so daunting in the future.

    Yeah, like Ragnos (The dark sith lord!!!) said, glad I went. Learnt a bit, put some faces to some names, and squeezed in a bike ride. Perfect.

    Looking forward to the next one.

    Have to admit,

    The weather put me off tonight's ride. I can feel my first winter closing in fast and I'm not looking forward to all the rain.

    Sounds like a plan
    Reality is only an illusion caused by a lack of alcohol in the blood.

    If you don't like getting cold consider wearing a balaclava and/or a scarf ...

    Since it's winter now I reckon there needs to be stuff like this at NASS. We should do some proper Gymkhana runs. It would be amazing fun and extremely useful for improving bike control and improving understanding of the tyres. If anyone is keen to get something going, give me a message and let's do it. I've been doing some stuff like this in the car park in the wet recently, turning harder and harder, letting the tyres slip a bit and getting comfortable with it. Has already done wonders for my confidence in rain. You can actually lean it really hard before it starts losing grip I am surprised.

    I would be willing to invest in some cones and timing equipment, I think this could be epic if everyone got into it like in Japan.






    ...Full throttle till you see god, then brake.
