Humps, just had a good look at those pix. Drooling :rockon: I'm away again in Sydney this weekend lads - seems that work is taking over my life at the moment. REALLY looking forward to a ride when I get the chance!

We have a standard list in my circle of mates. Have a go at this - obviously you only need one of some of these things between everyone so a bit of discussion beforehand helps so that not everyone brings an axe. I actually have this on a spreadsheet with a weight calculation and you can put...

You have to put everything in a light that is advantageous for them. I’m not just talking about wives here too of course – this works for everyone. However you have to live with your wife so its more relevant. My wife likes my bike because: 1) Its shiny. She likes shiny. 2) Its cheaper...

Your awesome love should be enough of a present for her :rockon:

I have friends that tell me I'm dragging my knuckles. :Flash: I've actually tried to do this while stopped at lights but it scared me too much because the road ALWAYS feels slippery on my boots. Gave it up really early on because I don't weigh a couple of hundred kilos and have the same...

Its the midst of winter here in Brisbane. Today its 26 degrees..... celsius. That's apparently 79 Farenheit. The killer is that its extremely low humidity at 65%. Can't wait for summer when the humidity hits a million.... NOT! I've gotta move back south (that's where its colder here in the...

It may be the shifter position but it seems pretty comfortable to me. Not sure about the muscle roller. Will have to check it out with the physio next time. Definitely worth a look!

FYI, might have found the solution. I was off the bike for a few days and the aching abated. Therefore, the bike is somehow causing the problem. Its only in my left leg which is the one I put down 95% of the time when I'm stopping. I now make sure I'm putting my orthotics in every time I...

I think these little spills are there to remind us that its a big bad dangerous world out there and you can't let your guard slip.

I'll be in Sydney :(

What did I learn yesterday? Oggie Knobs are essential equipment. Embarrassing…… I did a hill start yesterday morning on the way to work onto a usually busy road. There was actually nothing coming and nothing waiting behind me so I don’t really have an excuse but I stalled the bike. Of course...

Sorry I missed it as well guys. Was all on track having moved house on Wednesday (hence still no internet at home - this is from work) but the agent on the rental we left is having a meltdown. Spent most of the weekend scubbing stuff with a toothbrush (long story but steer clear of a certain...

Sounds great! Doing my best to organise to come along for this. We're moving house on Wed/Thurs next week so likely to be under the thumb all next weekend putting pictures on walls etc. However SURELY I can take a morning off to go play with things that go brum. Will keep you updated on...

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm in pretty good shape (round's a good shape isn't it? :thumbup:). I'm pretty fit in any case. Its starting to look like some sort of overuse thing. I've been off the bike for a couple of days and it seems to have helped. DOH! Now I need to go research and...

Thanks heaps for the advice guys. Will let you know the outcome. Twisting and turning etc doesn't seem to change anything. Will be interesting to see what happens when I'm off the bike for most of next week.

Thanks Dave. Not so sure about the mineral deficiencies. Its not really so much a cramp as more like some mad Chinese doctor has managed to get an acupuncture needle into my fibula and is twisting. That's the best way I can describe the pain I'm afraid. Its not localised anywhere beyond...

Hi all, I’ve been to the doctor the last couple of days. Been through blood tests, xrays and been poked and prodded. Basically, my left leg below the knee is aching. Its not in any one spot and its not constant although it does get reasonably intense on occasion. I wanted to rule out anything...

Or maybe "am I hurting as much or as little as I want to hurt". :spank:

Don't be too hard on the guy. We all ride bikes and kid ourselves that we're being extra careful so won't kill ourselves when we all know deep down somewhere that its a silly thing to do. *waits for lynch mob to show up*

I have noise cancelling plugs (no idea HOW you get those iPod type ones to stay in your ear when you put your helmet on anyway). They work like earplugs anyway so I don't have to worry too much about the noise damaging my ears. However I only do this on longer rides and there aren't many of...
