Don't forget it could also be that Laurie is rubbish at riding. Don't forget that as a possible cause.

Just checked, there was only 10psi in the front, no wonder it felt wobbly. Might be a dodgy valve. It feels miles better now. Woo hoo.
Still think the forks need straightening in the yolks a bit, as it seems to steer a tiny bit to the right.

Just noticed someone dented the tank while it was parked at Goodwood Festival of Speed yesterday. Crap!

Good view of airshow practice today. The Typhoon went over so fast and so low it set my car alarm off. Be good to see the Grippen back again as that one makes your lungs buzz.

You can usually park up with a bike by the bailey bridge and watch during practice and trade week. No chance of getting there without a pushbike or walking on the public weekend though.

Which bridge you on about? The metal style one with somewhat of a view over the airfield? Near the 1st Gear MTC training site and Malta Barracks?

It's raining so no chance of a ride this evening so why not pop along the the Heatherside Schools Summer Fair. Friday 6th July (That's tonight) from 5-8. Beer tent, burgers, splat the rat and more yummy mummies (and daddy equivalents) than you can poke a stick at!

If I don't see at least 3x GM there then the next ride-out I lead will consist of 30mph housing estate roads with gravel and speedbumps!
