jrussel: did u miss out on ?Colonel's offer for some free Thor gogs? pity man.

 

went to tokai today. still struggling with jumps (more mental than anything really) otherwise bike is a champ. it's her first time out at Tokai and boy, does she rail them corners. Completely different feel to the Giant.

need to work on leg strength though. the bumps etc take a lot outta them smiley6.gif
