Glad to hear it honey Nothing worse than not being able to be comfortable, especially when you are in pain

God, ain't that the truth! I NEVER want to have to go through this again and can't wait for the day when I feel normal again. A few weeks I'm told xox

yep feeling waaaaay much better than I did a couple of days ago. Recuperating at Monamie's so anyone feel free to come visit and talk shit lol. I could get used to this time off lark ahhh.

Hi Al, wishing you a speedy recovery, you know I like speed ......I know Mo makes a great Nurse, however if required I am the Specialist you can call on 24/7 - get well soon, looking forward to throwing my leg over again

[rottiguy]

I'm sure you could find someone not too far away to give you a bit of help sleeping when ya bits hurt Al
Before long all the pain should have pissed off and you will be able to enjoy life again

Just a quick appeal for help with the belt replacement - I need to make a tool to lock the primary drive, details in this blog post.

Done! Bit of scrap, not 1/4. but should do the job though. Made an extention if you ever change to a different potato masher.

Pm me details of where you want it dropped off. Or will you be at Ashhurst tonight?

Hoping to be there, if the rain isn't falling. Otherwise I'll PM you about catching up on Sunday afternoon - I'm working all day tomorrow and Sunday morning (yeah, tell me about it).

So far, they've been good, may they continue to be! I'm dropping in the invoice for the new Shoei today which will make the deal even better.

You'll be alright then, as I never had that luxury! I now have $2500 gear cover under my bike policy.

Yeah, let's compare injuries

I'm feeling bad now! I never thought to tell cowboyz the boots I gave him once held my mangled foot together. Ewwwwwwwwww! I guess he'll know now.

I have your indicator sitting here btw

Ah cool and I may see you on the weekend. I'm still hoping Kerry is coming down on Sunday to visit you and have a fiddle with my suspension. Could be fun!

General advice here. If your strap is not secure, STOP, and make sure it is.

Damn straight - may as well not put it on. Not something I normally do but I'd been trying to get me earphones in properly before we left - have given up on that idea now and will stick to ear plugs & singing...

[Elysium]

Ok what are these whisper kits you guys are going on about? I currently use dispossible foam plugs that cost about 50 cents and do the job well enough.

[chanceyy]

Well, in a few weeks I'll be able to road test mine and make a decision then. I must admit I do like a quiet helmet so I'll probably go for the kit either way. I've had a good look at them and they do look the biz.

General advice here. If your strap is not secure, STOP, and make sure it is. Not preaching, just want to emphasise how important it is after seeing the state of my old one.

may get to test it a bit sooner than you think ...

and agree on the strap ... coming off Paekakareki hill after birthday ride and thought ... hmmm that feels loose .. fark me forgot to do up the helmet .. quick stop on the side of the road fixed that ... :

I still use my custom plugs as well but it has cut out a lot of noise from around the bottom of the helmet.
