... my breakfast and the Mrs was stressed with my son and work. So i started doing some jobs and mentioned the text.... Well if you want to go GO before i change my mind.

I see the press was very very quiet about the Tory vote fraud issue before yesterday's elections.

You know you can camp in the paddock the night before for free right?

There are some decent roads though especially if you come down from Llangadog

That was all after morning brew! I was catching up on TS before morning brew

Probably been posted before, but made me smile..

... and either it's not quite as good fit as the old one or I hadn't fitted it on securely. Anyway it flipped off and I did a few pumps of the lever before I noticed. Brake cleaners was to hand and sprayed on straight away and the pads were out in less than 2 minutes flat before getting a good clean. ...

All us pro riders have a test team to sort a bike out before we ride it

... too high for track riding, I need to aim for 20-25 front and 10-15 rear. I'll definitely start at the higher end (25/15) to see how that feels before I progress anymore but this should solve my issues with using all the suspension travel. I may be unable to achieve these numbers at the front ...
