Do you reckon that lubing the rear brake will make it go faster Alan? ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

That's a really good point there Terry, how's about I lube the rear brake cable instead? I'll fix the earlier post as well.  8)

Ha ha, your post was fine Alan, I was just being silly, it was Friday afternoon and I was dreaming of motorcycle riding today. ;D

Still Friday over here, no riding tomorrow with 4-8" of snow on the way.

I did 60-odd miles on Rob's Royal Enfield 350 in 90 degree temps today Alan, I think I should have stayed home too. ;D

That's a little on the warm side, hope you got cooled back down safely enough. We picked up 7 or 8 inches of heavy, wet snow that ended about 1pm. With highs in the 40s all week it should be gone soon. I'm hoping for some rain to wash the salt off the roads soon.
