SEXY WORKOUT TIME! (Shayloss style)

i like this video its funny

Update on tyre and forks

Well the forks are out and waiting for there new powder coat finish on the lower parts so they should look a bit prettier in a couple of weeks time. Avon have the front tyre still i haven't heard anything from them so will have to start chasing them on Monday as 2 weeks should (in my mind) be plenty of time to test it.

Have decided while i wait for my front tyre to be returned from Avon that i will strip the forks and have the bottoms cleaned and powder coated as there in really bad condition. But should i get the wheels done while im at it. The front will be out anyway and the rear is no big trouble to remove?

Great way to mount gps to bike






I have bought a great and simple device for fitting my Garmin Zumo to my bike in a manner that keeps the unit behind the screen and out the way of the major controls i got it direct from the manufacturer. http://www.telferizer.com

Well the front Avon storm 2 ultra has been removed and is definitely the problem with the front end. I have spoke to the supplier and they advised me of where to send it for testing so that was done yesterday. Now the wait begins. The fitter at the bike shop has told me story's about tyre firms claiming the tyre has a puncture or been ridden flat and thats whats coursed the damage, will have to wait and see what Avon say as i have ridden about 250 miles on this tyre now and 40 odd miles the morning it was removed so there is for a fact no puncture or been run flat. I have the old tyre back on now and the vibrations and wobbles have gone.

went for my first ride of the year with the full members of EAMG today. we had a great ride out to the stradistall cafe and back. the roads were nice and dry but still quite dusty from the road salt and i realy got to ride with a descent pace and get a good feel for the avon storm st 2 ultra tyres. and i can say there very good heres a pick of the rear with very small chicken strips considering the conditions.

Another cold start this morning so a slow steady ride to work. saw a small car that had run of the road and flipped onto its roof in the field next to the road, there was police aware stickers on it so no cause to investigate. this evenings ride home was somewhat more spirited then this mornings trip. im starting to get the feel again for riding on dry grippy roads. didn't get the front tyre/wheel checked on Wednesday as the shop i use was to busy so hopefully next week . will be nice to get rid of the handlebar shakes.

The ride home in the dry

well theres a horrible shake and wobble in the front tyre i hadn't noticed before due to riding so slow in the bad conditions. will take the bike to the shop on wednesday and get it checked out. it was fine with the pr2 front so i guess its a bad tyre?

Cold frosty morning ride to work on new tyres

I have a set of the new Avon Storm ST 2 Ultra tyres on now after years of using Mich Pilot road 2's they feel allright and the horrid feeling i had with the last front tyre is gone so i can ride with confidence again which is nice. so far i would say buy a set but time will tell when i find out how long they last.
