Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
My gripe is that I still cannot get my bike boots on 6 weeks after being kicked by youngest's horse. Really fed up with it now, had to spend weekend making garden look less like wild land, so I now ache all over not just my leg!

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I face 6 months of that with my forthcoming foot surgery. The bike will be laid up over the winter as I definitely won't be riding.

When you apply the rear brakes on your SV650 only to hear a grinding noise that you know is the caliper stuck again

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I have a problem with water retention in my legs and feet that makes it hard to find boots that I can close on my swollen legs. I finally found some lace up RST boots that I can get into.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Migraine. I know I moan about these frequently but that's because I get them once a month and they really get me down. This month it hasn't knocked me right out, I managed to get up to Sally's tea party, but I couldn't proof read the MCC magazine at work yesterday as I just couldn't focus and I'd set the day aside to do it. Today I just feel tired and lethargic but I'm taking my nephews to London and wanted to be full of energy to give them a good day. I lose over a month a year to migraines. It's frustrating.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I never understand that thing where people say that they never use the rear brake. When you approach a T junction at slow speed on a flat road and want to take off a touch of speed what do you do? Drag your feet along the ground like Fred Flintstone?

I just use the front, even on hill starts. Just got used to it once I got adjustable levers it was easy to do
