I've got some padded shorts from mountain biking that I'm wearing (my seat don't have much padding...) under my regular shorts and t-shirt. Oh man, once you start looking at carbon frames and rims and aero bikes etc it can get bullchit expensive! I wanted something nice to ride so I'll enjoy riding, but didn't need carbon or any of that stuff. Wanted disc brakes so it still stops well in the rain and wanted it somewhat lite and easy to ride quickly. I wanna be able to get the commute to work down to under 30mins - that's the goal! Takes a little longer on the way home as it's a little more hilly. Took 47:40. Hour and a half exercise not bad for the day!

Road to work for the first time this morning. Took me 40mins, so not really that much longer than it can take to drive if traffic is bad. Nice ride around the river for a decent section - nice way to start the day, definitely better than sitting in traffic. https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/outdoor/bikes/bike-accessories/turbospoke-bicycle-exhaust-v-2-0/p/151349 You can even fit 2.

Had a positive meeting this arvo and a decent parmy for dinner. Trip seems to be going well so far, except for spilling omelette on my shorts on the flight over... that was a less than stellar start 🤣

Well, relieved at least.Pulled out to overtake a truck yesterday. As the car hit full boost there was a bang from the front, a bang out the back and then a sudden loss of power. Was suspicious it was an intercooler hose, but you still feel a bit sick until you know! New Plaz throttle bottle elbow had blown off the throttle body. Instructions did say to re-check after a few heat cycles so I guess I should follow the instructions.I'm guessing the bang out the back was due to a sudden excess of fuel after the air quantity suddenly dropped. Truckie may have seen flames. 1

Seems to be in good condition, not that many of the original parts are staying. Sending the case off the get cleaned. Will reassemble it after Christmas and get it ready for the falcon. 2
