Generally never too hot. Happy to put all my clobber on and go for a blat up to about 35 degrees or so, and have been caught out in hotter than that, which starts to get a little unpleasant and moist...

It's the rain and the cold that I don't like riding in - I am a bit of a softy, I am definately a fair weather rider.

1000 POSTS!!! YEAH!!!

I won't ride in the rain or when the temp is over 30 degs. I don't need to.

Vlad, you need one of these (3rd from the bottom) - and I need the one below that.

The way to pick up a bike is as follows.

Get on side of bike facing the underside.
Put one or both feet on the front wheel.
Grab the end of the handlebars with both hands.
Lean back and pull like crazy.

For a bike that heavy you will need another one or two people lifting the from the seat side.

Very nice ride mate...

Only 2 too many cylinders and 400cc too small...

Otherwise, excellent!

Phillip - thats more or less what we did and I can assure you it's not right in any sense of the word !

Realising I should know a "right" way I googled and found those and similar vids to the ones Ron posted. I think, though, that ideally one would hav e ahold of the rear brake while acccomplishing this feat however thats not as easy as it sounds.

Ron no need for the models when I have teh real thing eh?

Thanks Tombie

Well I've only been commuting so far bit boring but keeps me busy !

Anyway today as I left a set of lights I thought, bugger it I'll give it some. Planning of course to button off at a stately 60kph.

Anyway I gave it the noise and.... faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr out !!!

This thing is quick !


I like it.
