Made it back in one piece. Everything seems fine except the front brakes aren't as grabby as they were. Very little pressure would have the front end dive like a kamikazi. Now it takes a firm (but not too hard) grip to do the same. I might have managed to leave a little grease on the rotors. Chit will happen when you're tired. I'll pull em off in the morning and have a look. I still have two new pairs of pads if I need them.

I put on a set of Avon Storms- 120/70-17 & 180/55-17. I like the feel and they look great. Too early to really tell much about them. Laid over pretty well in a tight S and was very comfortable doing it.

Damn, I've known people who would pay good money for that!

I didn't think to break out the camera today. I'll post some in the morning when I can see what the hell I'm doing.
