    Looks like that crap you get from erasers.

    How the hell do you get the back wheel onto the table for that

    Toto thinks it's from acceleration (on a 250 ) and that i should be good to ride.

    Just put the paper under the wheel and do a burnout!

    i know the things you mean. Had them after my... err... enthusiastic ride back on my new beastie. That was occompanied by folding over of the tread on the side, so i took it as a sign of needing a new tire, mine were more deep than yours tho. Probably just a soft spot of compound. keep ridin and keep an eye on it

    Old Skool Swarming Stylin'

    Well X-whatsitformerly-known-as-Xerxesdaphat and I caught up and went for a ride (funny that). Been ages since we cruised the roads and tonight was a good impromptu one!

    He and Nats met up at chez gijoe1313s and Daisy and I rode out to Maraetai and Whitford to the St Heliers GP. Cruised to BK for a bite and a chat and then we did the outskirts of the city.

    On the way through to Mt Eden, some plonker decides to run down the middle of the road at me .. I didn't really change my line, he could see I wasn't going to chicken out and we both missed each other - honour served intact

    Through to the back moronway and X-whatsit-formerly-known-as-Xerxesdaphat and I parted company.

    Nice night for riding, gijoe1313 stylin' on Daisy with Nats!

    I had two Pirelli's in a row do that same thing. One at 400 k's (and the occasional loss of traction. I put some nice new Metzler M3's, and have ridden to work twice (and they look good to do it again).

    Next time you need a paddock stand, just pop around and use mine. Wood and straps are bad kharma waiting to happen...
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    Yeah im sure he doesn't... my right knee is not quite the same multicolour... but still rather bruised... and also have bruises on both arms and up my left side. So thanks Gubb i look a right mess (more so than usual!). When i went to the gym today, a couple of the girls asked what the hell had happened! My only concern about it is that i can't really run all that comfortably on my left knee right now... and sunday I have 5 km event to do... But it was fun!
