  1. Virtually none of it, it’s all down to the damping.
  2. When did you grow 4 inches?
  3. He would be too short to get on it.
  4. North Berwick is still beautiful and my bike looks excellent.
  5. Well I took a run out to test the shocks on some roads that upset the bike usually, at first I thought the bike was a bit fidgety until I realised how fast I was going, I was cornering 10 to 20mph faster than I normally do along that route, the bike turns in easier and responds to body English easier. It is easier to change line mid corner as well and it tracks road imperfections less. In town it does not jar over potholes anymore. The only bad part is it has shown up the limits of the front end, I definitely need to soften the front a touch but even then I suspect I would benefit from more complex fork damping so am already thinking of Nitron fork cartridges. I will play with the damping on the shocks a little, I think it may benefit from a slight increase. Braking is also better and it seems more planted under acceleration when passing traffic. Going across Gullane golf course there are some uneven off camber corners that I normally take at 40mph, I glanced at the clock through there and I was doing 55 to 60mph. So first impressions are night and day.
  6. Took a run out to North Berwick to bed the reat pads in and test the shocks.
  7. Maybe twin number 2 is gay.
  8. New rear brake pads fitted.
  9. Did you know the deceased or was it just entertainment?
  10. Did you recognise the breathing?
  11. Alternatively it could simply have been that he remembered that he still had to deal with @Marcel le Moose Fondler.
  12. Unfortunately heart attacks often happen in close succession, he had multiple stents put in which is an indicator for congenital heart disease, I suspect he went into arrhythmia unexpectedly after they moved him out of ICU, that’s the most common cause of death after a heart attack.
  13. I don’t have admin access or control of the domain name, software and hosting, without that I can do nothing in the long term. I could set another place up at some point but we would lose everything here, as I say, this is not the time to think about this.
  14. Do you really think you could get a video link to work?
  15. We can cross that bridge at a later date, now’s not the time, I just wanted to ask everyone to hold the place together in respect to Pete’s legacy while we all do our respective grieving.
  16. Without Pete driving it I’m not sure it can continue, anyone can set up a forum but not everyone can run one effectively.
  17. This is the last of this kind of forum, Pete had a unique gift to make forums like these and put a lot of effort into driving them forward, proven by their decline once he hands them off to other people. Let’s hold this one together for him until the plug gets pulled and not let it go to hell in a hand cart.
  18. A video is worth a thousand words.
  19. I know, we were convinced it was your turn.
  20. I guarantee he is in my prayers.
  21. A week ago he was riding the gay moped exploring abandoned shit and indulging is secret liaisons with midgets. I also know he was looking at getting a new bike. Now he’s gone. Just shows how fragile life is. My thoughts are with his family, especially his wife, this really is a shock. I know he would expect me to say this so I won’t let him down. Wouldn’t have happened if @Six30 had got the mod gig.
  22. That’s terrible news.
