Sounds like a nerve problem, we're all starting to fall apart 😲

The wife's frozen shoulder gave her the same symptoms she's had it a year now. I recon she's been putting in some serious overtime on the voodoo doll she has of me for taking the piss out of her shoulder LOL

Its a 300 never seen a 250 although i do know they exist, the seat height is 910mm but because its narrow it seems lower

I’ve got a client who races extreme enduro on a modern 250 husqvarna 2 stroke, he was looking forward to trading it with a 300. Says the extra low down grunt makes everything a lot easier at the expense of nothing.

On something like an x trainer it must be even more so.

I can only describe it as its like riding a vibey 4 stroke you get some vibration through the footrests but you forget about it in minutes there's no real top end but if you want it its just a matter of fitting the RR pipe and you get the top end without compromising the bottom end torque apparently. Suspension is a load of shit but new springs for my weight  transformed it into usable

I've read that they're undersprung, did you just do the front end or did you replace the rear shock as well ?

Possibly but it's over 40 years since I had a two-stroke.  There are other bikes in the frame as well.

Just the front and rear springs i think it's sprung for someone about 75kg from the factory. if your down this way anytime your welcome to take it for a ride as you know there's plenty of local stuff to try it out on for a few hours.

spent the morning today trying to drop the temperature inside the house. Then shut all the shutters cos it was 38 in the street outside and buggered off to spend the afternoon at a friends house who's got a pool... I was planning on cycling in to work tomorrow morning but they're forcasting 38 to 40 c for the afternoon and I aint cycling home in that!

If you are looking for sympathy you will find it in the dictionary in between shit and syphilis.

Washed my bike today, including the luggage, tomorrow will wipe a cloth with motul shiny stuff on it and hope it’s done until the uk bimble in September.

Also washed the inner things of my helmet, trying to make it smell human again, and less of dust and sweat. I feel the time for a new lid is approaching.
