Finally good news bike wise.

 with low gear and high revs...

Yours is the TZR right? Flat out to the redline every time. It'll just coke up else and the plugs will be forever getting gummed up. Mind you, now you're thrashing it, they'll need replacing regularly anyway. Keep the engine hot = keep the engine clean.

The easy way around the tank baffling is to just ride on the back wheel. You must. The engine demands it.

Welcome to the world of yamaha two strokes 

I miss bikes, I really do. These were all taxed, insured and had MOT and a few day's later some plum hit me head on on the Honda. That was 2007 and I haven't ridden since. Sold the Suzuki last summer... the end of a dream.

I just passed my Irata Level 1. Fuck yeah.

Congratulations!

Cheers Kelvin, for sure it's a great bike, it makes people turn their heads. Today's bikes have less rounded lines, they're all pointy and I don't like that.
Also, I would never see myself, at my age, on a modern bike!

Climbed indoors last night (bear with me) and my fingers feel completely normal this morning. Didn't avoid any small holds either. 

[andy popp]

Mine's even simpler. I went climbing.

[lagerstarfish]

I went climbing on grit

[andy popp]

Jesus, I tell you, we're bloody unstoppable!

[nai]

We are. Very happy to have done Indecent today.

If you'd seen the warm-up to get the clips in you may have questioned whether I'd ever climbed before but from somewhere I linked the hard bottom section from the ground for the first time then continued (slowly) up the wall with a minimum amount of fuss.  Not a big grade but long routes with the need to recover at shakes has been a big weakness for the last few years so it makes all the monotonous Aerocap sessions worthwhile.

I might be going climbing tomorrow, if it doesn't rain.

All permits suspended yesterday and today, they'll need a crowbar and a winch to get me out of the tea shack tommorow

[rodma]

bit of a sad yyfy, but feels like a big deal to me.

closed my no 1.5 CoC yesterday morning for the first time in many years and for the first time ever without tape or ibuprofen

I might be going climbing tomorrow, if it doesn't rain.

Which it did, but I went anyway, and had a great time. Triumph of desire over meteorology. Yyfy.

After 6 days of work I sent my project!  Possibly my first 8B!!!!!!!!  Also did an 8A FA and a 7C FA today.  Absolutely incredible day!!!!  Best ever climbing day yet

Been doing this ever since:

Not yet, but we did get video, so we'll get it uploaded soon.  We've got some really outstanding footage from this year.  We've all stepped up the game in terms of big, bold, and hard.  Some really stellar lines have gone down.  A few that are 5 star anywhere in the world.....

I got on it last week and left demoralized after getting totally shutdown.  Complete and abject failure.  Today though the warmup was perfect, the vibe was good, and conditions were perfect.  Makes a huge difference to have everything line up all at once. 

[lagerstarfish]

have you got any good footage of you dancing and drinking beer to celebrate?

[andy popp]

Brilliant stuff Sasquatch!

not yet, but the night is still young on this side of the planet.

Brilliant stuff Sasquatch!

Thanks!

This was the third oldest unclimbed local project I know of around these parts.  The second oldest has broken a few times and is likely v14/15ish.  The next oldest is in my sights for the end of the month.

Congrats beast!

[Kingy]

Cool, nice work, looking forward to the video!

[tomtom]

Fantastic!

[SA Chris]

Not yet, but we did get video, so we'll get it uploaded soon. 

Save it for a mega compilation of the year's work, once you are dowin to 2 hours of daylight and 10 feet of snow! Good work.

[JackAus]

Fuck yeah! Awesome stuff Todd!

[Jaspersharpe]

Nice one!
