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!

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

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.

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.

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

Trying to chill out in the steam room, and one guy has music blasting, the other guy is pacing back and forth in squeaky flip flops. WTF goes through peoples heads??
