... profile. I find it helps with slow manouvering and extending the life. Also, it's been so long soince I had a ride for actual fun rather than getting to work. I am tempted to get a sportier tyre as it gets closer to nice weather though, and then when worn out go back to a touring tyre.

Re: What are you doing today ??

... [emoji23] both me and my partner aren't much for drinking anymore! We aren't much of the clubbers type but we do like a good mooch and we love getting away on trips to see outside the area we stay in. We don't like just staying at the hotel so this seems great for us, it takes 30- 45 mins to ...

Re: The new improved fitness thread

Chest this morning. Although I'm getting used to the 20 reps per set, still can't get used to how puny it looks when you're struggling to move weights that some of the girls in the gym can throw around. It's quite humbling. Hopefully there ...

That's why Bikers generally make better road users, we never stop wanting to learn. For the vast majority of car drivers it's just about getting from A to B. I feel there is a big difference in a biker and a bike rider. Some treat it like a car, and have no interest in further education or ...
