Best of luck with your operation Roo.

I had my eye operation on Tuesday - good news is I thought it was less painful than a visit to the dentist on the day(sorry).

However the pain was on hold for 24 hours now I feel as though my right eye socket and cheekbone have run into a brick wall at 30 mph.

First set of new ‘grinners’ coming tomorrow

No matter how much you look forward to being allowed to live off as much angel delight as you like, by day two it’s a bit dull

I especially like the ‘one big tooth’ in the middle.


I dunno, the shades kinda kill it baby

Cheers Gary

Just got the Long Haired General’s 400 on the bench to swap the bars while I wait on deliveries. Cut the grass first like to gain the shed time
 Nice change working on a BMX, it’s so light  compared to the 800
