Had a similar experience when I had a new rear put on my first bike. Since then I always get the bike home and sandpaper the tyre to remove the release compound. Never had a problem since.

Hope you heal quick.

Take it slow and go for a ride up the freeway to warm them up before getting into them, I trashed the 6r 500 meters from the dealers brand new and was going dead slow.

Dont forget the mandantory clean down with grease and wax remover.

Have to watch they dont pump them up to 300psi too.

I do recall u saying something about that Bobbo... I'm just plain silly at the best of times. But not as silly as u trying to ride home on da pushie pissed lol.
As 4 the draggin jeans... dont think they make em 4 shoulders my friend

I was surprised that my jeans never tore even tho I have a little gravel rash on both knees.
How about the best suggestion for over the counter pain killers?? I've got a packet of Panadeine 15 which is false advertising cos theres only 12 in there!!! They're meant to be extra strength but I'm taking two every 4 - 5 hours instead of 6. This morning I woke the fella at about 3am, after I took two at 11pm and kicked him out of bed to go get me some more pain killers.

I've got a pretty good feeling already about the shoulder, its not too bad, I cant move it all that much but I can atleast still touch type!!

What is the deal with work tho? I'm meant to take 4 weeks off, but I cant afford to do that. Are they allowed to fire me because I dont really have a purpose with only one working hand??

bugger..thats a bit of a pisser isnt it munk...
u silly bugger...least now u got plenty of time to get back in the kitchen & come up with sum new recipes for me....hehehe ..

now...i agree with Striker...i scrub my tyres for abt 15km or so, ride it, lean it gradually, and try to get sum speed up to heat the tyre (highways etc)..hence why i go str8 up the freeway to eagle & do several laps of the eagle to scrub tyres...
i dont wipe em down, i dont dremel em, i ride on em, carefully, and ive never binned it cos of a tyre...

Bara- remind me to lend u my pushbike next time were pissed & im bored

...u idiot...lol...

and Munk, depending on ur job title, this whole new reform shit thats just been passed and taken effect, may influence ur job....look into it...
