There was a thread started by someone with a link to a video of his riding.... I told him what I thought.....

Had over 90 views before it was pulled, I'm surprised only a couple of us took the bait!

Was there a commentary on the video with some colourful language?

Only when he offered a view on other road users, but that wasn't nearly as bad as his riding....

That guy was giving decent law abiding careful motorcyclists really bad PR, a complete delinquent on a bike. I was one of the posters that 'took the bait' - guy was a complete out-and-out nutter.

Fair one, didn't see any replies when I saw the vid, glad I didn't give it any longer than the first "c"

Oily gunge in the wrong place

Washed my car for the first time in months this morning only to find the front offside alloy was covered in an oily sludge. Once off the car I found it was coating the entire barrel and was just starting to ooze through the spokes to the front. None on the sidewalls that I could see, which was one comfort. Took me over half an hour with Gunk and an old paintbrush to get it all off. Seems to be all over the lower shock mount and the back of the hub so possibly the drive shaft seal has failed. Other side just had usual brake debris on the back of the spokes and barrel thankfully.

Time for open wallet surgery it seems. Bugger.
