So, I’ve just noticed that my valve stems don’t have lock nuts?

Is that:

a) A thing?
b) Lars forgot to fit them?
c) Husky penny pinching (like the fact they don’t give you an owner’s manual any more, you have to download one.........)?

To stop you ripping valves out with no rim lock

That. Although I would fit them but lock them against the screw on valve cover.

Yes but not everyone knows that

To stop you ripping valves out with no rim lock

... and Tim and I have first hand experience of witnessing the aftermath of that happening to someone!

It wasn't pleasant!

Yeah, I know the theory, it’s having the bottle to do it!

When we were in the desert in the Himalayas Rob (on our way back) I was soooo pissed off as that was my only ‘off’ of the trip.....the sand was so deep, I lost my nerve, shut the power off, the bike fishtailed then stopped as the front dug in. I flew over the bars and the bike just sat there stood upright in the sand laughing at me
I was after the prize for not having an off on the trip and remember arguing with Alex that it wasn’t an off as the bike didn’t go down.....he wasn’t having it

Andres

PS I hate sand!

I try not to discriminate and will fall off on any type of terrain!

We'll get along just fine

I went out for a lovely, long ride into Derbyshire yesterday evening.......... two things struck me, she holds a line on the road like a pissed, one eyed, three legged pig on roller skates [1] and she is 'king tall (I'm 6ft), so much so that on a couple of easy lanes I nearly got caught out trying to dab on some rocky bits and there was nothing to dab onto [2].

I'm gonna have to up my game a bit with this bike, I can now see how it will very easily bite you on the arse if you let your guard down, a Yamaha Serrow it is not!

Andres

[1] To be fair I've got the suspension wound right down to give it a few miles of full boinging up and down to break it in.......I think that's enough now and I'll spend today setting it up properly.

[2] I really AM shit off road, no self deprecation here. In my defence I'll always give anything a go but really, I am shit off road
