    One gets entirely the wrong impression from the subject line
    I stand corrected. According to www.dictionary.com there is indeed only one correct spelling for that expression:

    whee /ʰwi, wi/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[hwee, wee] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
    –interjection
    (used to express joy or delight).
    [Origin: 1895–1900]
    I would rectify the mistake ASAP. However, I am powerless to do so...

Laid the bike down going pretty wide into the corner since the inside of the surface is slightly corrugated. Thought "WTF was that?" and realised I had just scraped the toe of my boot going through the corner - weird feeling...

    Just had to share!
    Put your feet up, so instead of the heel on the pegs, toes should be there. First boot down, then pegs, then knee down. Show us your chicken strips. How many mm is it now, if any?

    Exactly what are the chicken strips?

    Chicken Strips: Unused portion of tyre. Seems to be an important measurement of one's testicular fortitude amongst sprotsbike riders.

    I ground a bit more of my peg feelers away yesterday. It's cool when it happens and you weren't expecting it. Means you're relaxed. It's uncool when it happens during an accident because you were trying to scrape your boots.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Thanks for that - I've been wondering about what they were exactly for a while now... Heard the term mentioned many times but never saw a definition of it.

    Hmmm, the wear seems to be rather even all over the surface. Nothing sticking out anywhere - unfortunately I haven't got a way to post photos from here...

    Anyway - me has balls tres fortes! :flex:
