Day 1 is a rough estimate coz there is always ppl who dont like to post nothing and show up straight to the meeting spot. Its gonna be interesting to see the turnout

Blackwoods Paykels, Ororke Rd in Penrose. Apparently they had some more there (that i didnt see at the time), but they were like 6XL or something. The 4XL's i got fit comfortably over a pair of jeans on ME, so i think those 6XL's would be a bit big for you mate

Nope. If you want armoured waterproof pants, go cordura. It's what i'll be riding in tomorrow if you wanna check em out. Soft armour in the hips, solid armour on the knees, big zips all the way up the legs (great for getting them over biker boots), waterproof as anything, and good abrasion resistance (not as good as leather of course, but more than enough for round town) Set me back 120 (i think) from motomail, they had to order me in some man sized ones tho

Gave my bike an oil change and a clean last night, and managed to scrape some of the crud off the exhaust from the last tour, so she's good to go. I'm a bit worried tho... i started hitting 2nd gear wheelies today

My first Coro loop!

I'm gonna try my hardest to restrain myself, dont wanna do something stupid way the hell out in Coro. I've been taking it easy since i'm riding with a bung leg, but was nipping around this afternoon and felt the front lifting in 2nd a couple of times

might need to look at re-adjusting my clutch cable a bit tmrw, will see how i go once i get in the groove

Cant wait for the loop eh, been wanting to do it for a long time, just never got round to it

**TOTO** · 24th April 2008, 20:35

You will go around it tomorrow

You will have to show me your technique for wheeling... you sitting on the pillion seat is probably a big factor :P
I'm off to bed folks! See you bright and early tomorrow!
