It's for shooting the Tequila

Dont worry, its just washing the roadfs for us. It will be fine.

Yeah seems to be just showers, anyway it's settled all the dust on my road and thats always a good thing. Now to go and clean and lube my chain, without a paddock stand too, this could take awhile Ps Can anyone reccommend a good Tyre gauge for me to get?

what can I say, I am at my best when properly caffeinated, that and regular feeding times are very important.

The Supercheap Auto (second down) did extremely well on their tests.

Is it worth you guys rationalising the amount of doubled up gear your taking as in 10 tyre gauges and 5 sets of sockets could probably be knocked back a little?

Except puncture kits and long nose pliers of course

We have a car (support vehicle) with us and I will make sure it has all the bits onboard should we need anything, theres even a substantial first aid kit in the boot, we can do everything short of a full on sex change.
Chain lube included.
