You know you could have gotten an old marzocchi bolt on braced fork and got BETD or similar to make a raised brace replacement to shove that 29" wheel in there?

Old Z1 with 110mm of travel, secondhand for not much, played with different springs, new brace for £30-40 or so.

Maxxis Mobsters are the ones for roots and mud offroad.   A lot of riders started using a Mobster up front and High Roller in the rear.  They are just cheap, heavy tyres really.  But Don't they say 35-45psi on them?

I used to see and hear really wierd things in the grade one listed building I used to live in.  Lights would go off in corridors as I walked down them, I'd see people working in rooms as I walked past them, corridors and stairwells rearranged themselves, heard footsteps along the corridors.

But the flooring was shifting and the electrics were getting pinched as you walked down the corridors, a little bird kept getting under the rear door where it didn't meet the sill properly and  that accounted for the soft footsteps.  Then my brain injury provided the other visual stuff

But seriously now.  I was 9 or 10, I woke up and saw my grandad beckoned me from my slightly ajar bedroom door, calling my name.  I followed him out to the landing where he had vanished.  I felt like crying.  The next morning my grandma called to say my grandad had died sat at the kitchen table the evening before.

Then there was the evening I couldn't stop crying when I was 19 or 20.  Not good in a dormitory full of squadies really.  I felt unbelieveable grief and loss and knew it was my father.  Kept calling his name.  He died in agony of heart failure before i saw him again.

These death psyche stories I hear quite frequently.  I don't necessarily believe in ghosts, but believe in some psychic messages within family.  I'm more scifi than fantasy!

60psi!   nutter!   Those things get run low and don't snakebite, they are a  squelch kings for street.   Didn't you notice when you set off that you squirmed at that psi?

Up in York.  There is only one brain injury specialist round here.  My psychiatrist says that he is going to push again for treatment but if I don't get any then I will become a special case to apply for treatment outside of my post coded area, which could lead to proper paperwork so I can apply for DLA.  But then I haven't heard back from him for a while!   I only got to see him (no cash round here) when I commented to my GP that I was worried about dying from loss of control during symptoms.

Anger?  When people don't see you, what recourse have you got?  I don't consciously get angry because I get along in life on the bare minimum.  I think they list 4 out of 10 of those brain injury victims with depression having depression as a result of their "blaming someone" and their physical and mental health suffers as a result.   I don't really blame anyone as theres no point. Nothing to gain, although I'd like the treatment that our universal health system is supposed to provide.  Not that they can really do that much for me.
