I've been under the weather a bit this week and didn't get in my ride on Monday, won't do the radio show tonight so all I have really done is put a new tank pad on today
But I did get to see TT3D on Monday.
what a great film and the 3D was not one of those projectiles coming at you over the top CGI type of films. They used it to good effect. All those shorts on youtube, show many hilights, but as Wolman said, only the film will remind you of how Guy Martin is, a bit of a goose at times, a lucky bugger at others.
Top film

I got them from work so special price from the boss and the importer ;) but they retail for $399. I am yet to ride with them, the have a good feel walking around and sitting on the bike. I will report back when I get a few rides in them. Pics will follow soon.

I have the Sidi Vertigo's, and after 50000km's, 3 crashes, and 3 broken zips...they are still going strong...i reckon they have saved my feet from diabolical injury at least 3 times....Love my Sidi boots....

Completely useless information.....:D

I was washing my bike yesterday morning & notice the odd wear pattern on the almost shagged rear tyre :eyebrow: looking at the tyre from the rear I noticed that the RHS is worn quite a lot more that the other , not fussed as its shagged anyway but I was curious as to why :confused: so I got the old string line out & ruler to check the allignment & they were spot on :thumbup: So on my way to work I noted the corners I ride on my commute..... there was the answer , 3 left handers & 12 rights = no bloody wonder :D

See told you it was useless info :BLAA:

The camber of the road is one reason, and the second reason is that unconsciouscly, we all favour one side, so tend to be more confident on one side, and hence, get the bike further over turning to whichever side we favour...

Well, that's what i have read anyway...
