Instant handling improvement

Simply put a bit of air in the tyres.

Oops...

 

Dosn't your bike have tyre pressure monitoring?

Not the BMW. Primitive fucking thing, it is.

 

Sort of like a stone dildo?

Hmm... No. Not quite like that.

 

You too, huh?

(K used this morning, felt a bit wobbly, rear tyre at atmospheric...)

 

I was thinking more "Lady Nina"

This was the front. And it had 8 PSI in it. Been feeling a bit iffy for
a few days. Ahem.

 

Oh, FFS, that's what, at least three regulars in the last week
(including TOG downthread) who've been riding on under-inflated tyres.
Don't you guys have any _feeling_ for your bike? I know I used to notice
the difference between 32 and 28 psi; letting it get down to 8 or so?...

I am a ham-fisted ****. And the rear tyre's getting knackered, so I
thought it was that. And I'm a ham-fisted ****.

Did I mention that I'm a ham-fisted ****?

Oh, and lazy. Lazy too.

 

I'm an extremely advanced fucking thing. Positively spaced age. Oh and
FRO.

 

So we DO have something in common!

 

The K had been stuck in the garage, unused, for a couple of months....

 

That's my old bike you're talking about, I can vouch for it's
characteristics.

I'm also very willing to partake in a comparison, purely in the
interests of good science. The lust factor for the K can be accounted
for as I first read an advert for the BMW in a Playboy magazine when
I was young and impressionable. Not sure how to account the Lady Nina
lust factor though ;-)

 

Brains, Irish accent, great arse, accomplished linguist. Easily
accounts for my lust factor. What scuppers it is he's 150 miles away.

 

Right.

 

I was playing a straight bat you senile old gimp.

 

tut tut

I thought my phrasing was more subtle.
Not heard from him yet today, wonder how much trouble I'm in

<looks innocent>

 

That reminds me: I can't wait for The Ashes to start!

 

You're bound to get a severe tongue-lashing.
