Sorry to hear you had a stack, edbikebabe. Glad you are OK. Don't let 'em beat you!
I'm riding my 'other' bike again, after getting some new brakes for it. It actually stops now! Makes a change, but feels very different to my SS. Quite jittery; I think it's the narrow tyres. Still fun, just different. And gears certainly make the pull up through North Sydney a bit easier!
