Last night I dreamt there was a sundial on every corner.

Had a great weekend riding with everyone, 540 ks(the advantage of going the wrong way)

I also hit a rock about half the size of a house brick with the light tube in on our way back from Craig's Hut, so my first two trailriding punchers are on consecutive days in the front tyre after 6000ks.

I used this method to straighten my rims, it was quite easy, not sure if it's common knowledge.



I checked the valve clearance since my bike wasn't starting easily, all three inlets were under, so I'm installing new shims and I'll be ready to go again.

I like that method, it looks easier and more controllable than holding a piece of wood against the dent and whacking the wood with a hammer which I have used before. However the tube and tyre can be in place for the whacking method.

If ever any bike starts to get hard to start the first thing to check is valve clearances, unless it's a 2stroke of course
It's just more time to be flat out!
