Joe you sure you haven't been wearing them in your present non bike state? Those double deckers can't half pullaway quick when you dont expect it!

Yes, that is the glaring flaw in my argument But you can counter by saying that you already go as fast as is safe on the road- this is my universal copout.

I dont do KFC! wall maby a bit on the left, but only a couple of mm. This wasnt done on the public roads though. Mallory park summer 2005. The back tyre had no chicken strip at all and had a lot more blisters!!!

1) Well done, but get some titanium ones, and put some thumb tacks in them. Last ages!

2) Anyone can get their toe down, doesn't take much effort at all, but you are forgiven for the following two..

3) Good lad, as it should be!

4) Nice, mine are ground down a fair way too

I dont like getting my knee down as my old rugby injuries start to give me jip.

I have been having the same problem with my golf and asked the local Pro the best way to get out of all the bunkers I keep getting in to. He suggested opening the club face a little more or standing with the ball further forward in my stance. He looked somewhat puzzled when told that the problem was not in getting the ball out of the bunkers ...but myself!

OK, that's sort of convincing in a way

My mother has a Zimmer frame which she doesn't currently use. Once I
am satisfied that I don't need it myself (having back problems
last few days) I can ship it to Peter Henry.

Foey and Prof...I am indeed touched by your generosity!
