Well I am quite fastidious when it comes to checking how much I get from a tank, I reset the K's on each fill up to see what I am getting, not an exact science but it gives me a rough average. So I am comfortable with what i said and why I will not use roof racks again. The other thing to...

So I can tell you from personal experience that roof racks are easy to use as long as you don't forget your bike is on top, but it can soak up a lot of fuel. I used to do Sydney to Canberra once a month, first time no racks did on half a tank, 2.0 litre XR4, added the racks and only the racks...

So what I like to do is, hot water with a whole squeezed lemon, 1 or 2 cloves of garlic crushed and manuka honey to taste. It looks bad, but I think it tastes OK, honey is a antibiotic and you probably the properties of the other 2. HTH

Trying to take my chain of a new bike before flying home, I thought it was SRAM power link, I spent 30 minutes trying to get it off, decided to stuff the power link and use chain breaker tool, that quickly bent as I applied pressure, it was late I couldn't get to the shop, anger got the better...

It wasn't that bad when it blew out for me, it did give me a start though as the first didn't blow. Also the bulges happened while I was riding, much fun....

So I have had this happen twice to me with the UST ignitor, I took it back to the shop the first time the tyre was off the rim but it still had a rock hard bulge.. The sales guy was not interested in showing it to the distributor, he said the ply had delamed due to a hit, so I bought another one...

That's awesome!

So before the steps were there I considered it a tricky section, as mentioned if its wet or dry the timber is slippery, I was there a few weeks ago and walked that section to see what people are talking about. Well I have to say its bloody dangerous IMO, if you hit your head on those steps it...

So interesting read in the SMH, gave me a bit of a laugh and made me think which one am I? So I must admit I am a road warrior but have some leaning towards wanting to be a prance Armstrong...

My problem is I feel bloated if I eat too much carbs, not massive amounts just a decent size.. More so I feel hungry enough to eat a lot a few hours before, but I am rubbish for hours after. So I need like 3 hours after eating before a ride. If I have a light carb (complex normally) meal I feel...

On my rides to work through the city I see lots of cyclist doing stupid things, that is my opinion that they are doing stupid things. I have also seen 2 cars driving side by side chatting holding up traffic. As dcrofty mentioned, you can find fault anywhere, no road user group is perfect, I...

OK I will try and make it in for a drink before I step out for the night, I will be wearing a British flag belly button protector....

Sweet, I better make sure there plump and perky for said fondelling ;)

so is there a secret hand shake or do I look for the bad tan lines and partially shaved legs.. How does a noob to farkin drinks know?

Seat rails, my seat will squeak when I twist it with my hands, try grease. HTH
