    might as well get in on the action for numpty...

    imagine riding down the straight at 164 miles/hour and seeing your headstock nut unloosen by itself, not a nice sight ;)

    hahahaha, on a 3 dayer I wouldn't do it, but 4 days at the start of the season is a bit too much tracktime for the legs :D, my arms were fine, lifting beers and vodka's all night without a problem :D

    another numpty I had when there was with the HRC rear brake tube was against the coolant bottle, boiling hot, expanding the brake fluid locking up the rear brake, nearly crashed, cooled down, sorted it out and set another PB :D :D, brake disc is warped though :-(
