TJ to the forum.
Edit- poss Druidh et al also..

Rusty- tell me how having two or three sets of tyres at a time is cheaper than just having one?
Between the three sets they last longer than one set? Of course they will.
I cant afford the outlay for three sets of tyres at a time though, so just pick the best all rounder I can at a decent price and ride those till I have to buy another.

Ps-distinctly average rider here.. I fall into the camp of buying a set of tyres and riding them till they’re worn out, don’t have the money to have two or three sets of tyres in the garage. Don’t think I’d be allowed to!
And yes, I did notice how crap the NNs were in the mud over the winter but the majority of riding I do is trail centre so they’re pretty decent most of the time which is why I bought them. And the fact On-one were selling them cheap.

There’s no doubt certain tyres are better for certain conditions.. Mud, downhill, jumping etc..
Think he meant at the level that most “average” riders ride at on trailcentres and the like.
Rang true with me cos I’d recently changed my Conti MKs for Nobby Nics as I had felt the Contis weren’t gripping well at the front.
I certainly noticed an improvement in grip and speed after the session. And that was on tyres that I had initially thought were rubbish.

Speaking to Andy at ridelines and talking about replacing tyres due to lack of grip. He said in 9 times out of ten where front wheel grip is lost its down to poor technique, not the tyre. I tend to believe him!

Aye. But I’ve got a cheek to talk. Have had a spot/mole in the downtown district for about five years now. Gets ever so slightly bigger each year. If I’m riddled I only have myself to blame!

Awesome!

Ouch- I’m only 37… That didn’t make me feel much better!
Seriously, ta though. Deffo getting onto Occy health first thing on Monday..

Muddy, I don’t think so.. Hence the collective condemnation!!

Having ridden a mojo sl last week I would go for that.
Loooovely bike. Pedals up well, but still nice and supple going down.
Plusit looks the dogs..

Jeezo, that looks good fun! Had never really thought there was that much there for a stand alone trip but maybe the place is bigger than I thought!

Tom Cruise?? Really? Oh FFS.. Makes no sense whatsoever..

Bugger, can’t view it on iPhone.
Sounds good too- disco, MTB, hills.. Sigh.

For the woman in the top floor flat to be in so the plumbers can figure out where the water that caused the bathroom ceiling to come ins coming from.
Otherwise she’ll get another week before the cops force entry..
It’s only been 6 months to get to this stage though.. What’s another week!

Loving the decathlon mudguard.. Only saying cos I have one..
Damned if I can figure out how to fit it on my 575 though!

Talking of decorations.. I hate the bloody headlight lashes.. Stupid.

See what u mean bout the logos being different though- will add to my to-do list..

Get fork serviced and custom valves/tuned for your riding. Get bigger discs, bleed them, and poss sintered pads?
Prob cheaper doing that than getting a new fork or new brakes.
But also probably not as fun or exciting.

Just mean if you search for pads you’ll get a ton of results.. Mostly for folk selling brakes or indeed, bikes with new brake pads- not knee pads as intended. Not a fault, just a foible.

My very bad. Just recently managed to get tyre logos and valves lined up as well.. Tsk.
I just looked at it and thought, that’ll do.. How wrong I was.

Jeezo.. Thought the bike was gonna comedown and take him out from behind..

Yeah, takes a while, especially if you have words like “pads” “661” and “on one” in your search field!

Old vauxhall thing whatever it was called- similar to Isuzu I believe?
Frontera!

Bought it and the stinger from classifieds on here..
Love it, btbh, haven’t really used it in anger- looks good though!!

I have a buy to let mortgage so interest only..

Xt no windows and matchmaker clamps here. Perfect.

Pretty much work out my outgoings, expenses and what I get in.
Outgoings is the usual, mortgage, insurance, factors fees. Also keep allreceipts for any work, repairs of furniture I’ve had to buy. Wear and tear to fixtures and fittings is deductible too at 10% per year but I haven’t needed to include this in my calculations up till now.
Just jot down the totals when prompted to, and file away all my paperwork once it’s done. I slways keep my P60 so I can note down my income and tax paid from my main employment. Don’t know if that will apply in your case.
Was a bit daunting the first time I did it but my biggest problem the last couple of times has been remembering my password!
Edit- sounds like you’ve got it sussed!

Sorry, I do it online. Been a bit up and down so haven’t made a profit so haven’t had to pay anything so far!

Done it for three years and haven’t had to send in paperwork yet. I always keep it all filed away just in case though!

Will keep an eye on this one methinks..
Love a good wee vid I do.

+1 codybrennan.. Think I might have been on the same session as you on Monday night??
Enjoyed my go on a mojo, and Andy is a cool guy. Very relaxed style, easy to understand but effective.
Considering a proper go at it now!

Legs and hips are sore this morning. Didnt realise how sore moving about on the bike makes you!!

6 foot here on a large 575 with a 80mm stem. Sometimes feel its just at ouch long but think a medium might just be a touch too short.

Motorpoint? We got our brand new focus there with 9 miles on the clock for £3.5k less than list price.
Don’t know if they do toyotas though..

Portobello has a nice beach, some decent play parks and amusements..
Weather dependant obviously but it was scorching a couple of weeks ago when the missus and I took our 2 year old son. Lots of nice wee coffee shops too.

Must be. What phone do u have?
It’s fine on iPhone.. Just loads whole page, then I just double tap and text takes up the screen.

Good wee film. Lot of stuff going on there.

Is it a sony phone? I know it can’t be used on those at the mo..

Use carbon paste. (take it you’ve got it already?).
I’ve got a big huge torque wrench that a mate borrowed for me from a ship..
Huge big thing but goesdown to 5nm so works fine..

Have a 575 but sometimes wish I’d got an ASR5. Was getting a bit more “gnar” at the time so the 575 was a step up from my old enduro.. Love it tho, lovely bike!
