I'm here to make you smile. The USD forks should be fun oh yes!

Actually I've one more spot of bother. My bike was a Cat C write-off and I found on last tyre change that the left disc is buckled slightly (as is the wheel too). It was fine on MOT (guy checked it after I asked) and wasn't dragging at all.

However since winter has came or something the front keeps locking/bad drag when I try to get it out the shed. It's then fine after been ridden.

I have those special EBH pad thingies on as well. Today it was so bad I smeared grease on the front disc to unlock it.

Later I nearly went into the back of a car.

What happened to MysticBertie?, I missed all that?

Sorry all that Im so cheap. I'm a student see, need that oil money for another liquid. People are probably thinking my SV is a deathtrap. It's unloved but still strong and very roadworthy.

You're having a f***ing laugh right!

Anyway, sounds like the pistons are starting to sieze. Need to clean up your calipers. I would tell you how to do this but I am scared you might try it and kill yourself.

PS. Have you heard of the Darwin Awards?
