My bike has no front tyre But I'm working on it...

Funny, this time last year I was frantically fitting and polishing bodywork after finishing my respray. Finished that at about 2am. This year looks like it'll be much the same

Yeah, afterwards... I was thinking I might have a wee burl up the west, depending on when we wrap things up, but not sure. Up the side of Loch Lomond, then across to Lochearnhead and back down, do the Pass if I've got time.
Heads up on the pass guys. Bunch of us did it on Friday. We were warned by some locals not to bother (but decided to see for ourselves anyway). It was really horrible. They've been spray chipping potholes. All the gravel is on the riding lines. There's a stretch about 3-4 miles (from the loch turnoff to the jumps). Looks like a lorry has steadily been spilling gravel all the way. Some big spills in places. There's a deep flood right on the apex of a bend just past the hotel heading to calander. IF you do do it then be very careful.

YEP- Can vouch for that. Went over it last Sunday and it was a PITA down at that bit.

FINISHED!

Course, these being the first tyres ever fitted there's a fair to middling chance they'll both be flat by the morning Jimmy came over this afternoon and found the bike spread in bits all over the garden

9.15 at Maybury, be there unless me tyres are square.

All I can say is, "OOPS", I missed the message that Jim was taking off so I followed him instead of Prawn

Still, excellent day... Went on his scenic tour of world's worst road surfaces (I didn't know you could make potholes in roads apparently surfaced with gravel, amazing what you can do with modern technology) then came back through and had a play on some favourites over here... Sorry I didn't catch up with the rest of you, hope you didn't wait! I had absolutely no idea where we were going...
