| DSC Club Member BSB Star  Posts: 6,367 Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: the garage Mood: www.knightroadraceteam.co.uk Big moan, and also a grin Had to share this with you: (bless my hubby  )Have had problems with my bike mis-handling for quite a while, but 'im-in-the-garridge' (AK) just pooh-poohed the idea - all down to my bad riding (usual comment  )Then I had a tumble the other week  - s'ok - no lasting damage  AK then kidnaps my bike to make a late appearance at Brands on Monday lunchtime - and lo & behold, the first thing he greets me with, is: "How the hell do you manage to ride that"  after a bit of 'discussion' he acknowledges I 'might have been correct in my earlier conversations' after all  No proper tools at the track, so he has to ride her in the same condition back home - through very heavy rain  Tonight? - he fixes said problem - after finding the steering head bearings need major mega adjustment  .......and then goes on to give her a full valet & polish  Bike & me both happy again  Nasty hubby to nice hubby in one evening C | |

what do you mean 'more' Kev? - he lost all the ones he had, with regards to the comments about my riding  Now, if he mows the lawn, trims a big bushy tree in the garden & does some of the housework too, oh - and the shopping this w/end - while I go 'ride-about  he can earn some againC | ||
