    That's advice you really really should be taking notice of, although I think 100 miles is abit over the top, I ride like a loon most of the time but for the 1st 50 miles after new boots I'm driving miss daisy. At risk of sounding like an old git again, there's no point in asking for riding advice if your going to ignore it ............... although I learnt that the hard way il admit.

    It was only the once as i was reaching my 100th mile. I hear they say they say to go 100 miles to wear down the 'chicken strip', more so to go 100 miles for cornering before giving it a full booting round the bends. I was only going on a straight, dry weather, no wind etc etc... it was well planned and i'm still here so we're all good xD.

    They only fuss because they care
    We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”
