    I should hope so, it was done by a qualified mechanic :lol:

    I'm just wondering if its the chain or tyre pressures. I haven't adjusted the chain since the first adjustment once it was on so it may have stretched a bit seeing as it's brand new and I neglected the tyre pressures a bit this morning after having a mate on the back yesterday so that may be contributing :doh:

    It was mentioned on the Wales run last week. As if the wheel hasn't been balanced properly or like has been said the rim is bent.

    Get the wheel off and checked as it can only end up bad.

    Your riding is ok mate and tbh you'll only improve with time, however I do notice you don't half smash it down the straights to play catch up. I do worry every now and again as I see you come flying up in my mirrors as I'm taking the corner rather quick. Just want you to be prepared for each corner as they come. When following someone forget that they are there, if they fuck up you will too!

    I'll have it looked into then mate, as I've said though, I can't feel it at all and it doesn't affect handling or anything :S

    I am focusing more on my own ride rather than doing what the person in front is doing though as like I've mentioned before when out, if the person I'm following ends up taking the wrong like and ending up in a hedge, I could too!

    But s/he was a total knob, raced me at the next set of lights. Overtook him/her about 200yds down the road. The Cheshire set eh? probably some WAG :S

    A few have mentioned 'hazards' in the road today (which they hit). The whole point of learning to ride at a higher level is you avoid cowsh*t/dropped straw/dead chickens etc.

    Again not a criticism at all, just an erm...'learning point' :)

    You just didn't like the brickwork on the wall and couldn't bare seeing it any longer... ;)

    oh herrr! I think she was trying to block me from overtaking anyway haha! She's probably the type that flashes at anyone that happens to be a within a mile in front of her :p

    It was pretty difficult to avoid today though you got to admit :p Coming round a bend to a brown layered road and changing your line to find the "cleanest" patch :lol:

    I was crying with laughter when that dead chicken got flung up of one of the lads in front and shot right past me. My first thought was some ones just nailed it with there helmet. :lmfao: :lmfao:

    Decent ride out today, i didnt feel the roads we went on were the best for hooning. As david said only got in not long ago still thawing out :)

    Best part of the day has got to be the tour of the roundabout a few times because no one was there to mark it

    Et... voila. If anyone wants screenshots of them from any part of the vid, rather than taking a picture off youtube, let me know the time you spotted you on there, and I'll send you a better quality pic of it - direct off the vid.
