I attended my motorcycle maintenance course tonight and lowered the forks on my bike by 1.7cm. It is amazing the difference it makes. It feels like I am riding a totally different bike. It is like the difference between sitting in a pickup truck as compared to a car. It makes the bike look heaps smaller and I think not as cool but on the other hand it feels amazing to be able to almost put my feet flat on the ground when sitting on the bike and that if I drop it I am much more closer to the ground (though also made me think about getting knee guards put into my bike trousers).

Seeing all the sports bike when I was riding to work this morning made me realise I am probably going to be the only one on the track day on an euro bike.

I have just started listening to The Charlatans – Wonderland which I really like. I might have to see if the rest of their albums are as good.
