The Blue Oyster bar / Re: What have you done today
« Last post by nigel s on Today at 04:49:05 »An old boy I used to work with ,now long retired, was VERY right handed.
40 plus years of rubbing down boats by hand only using his right was noticeable in his huge right bicep
His party trick was getting you to stand on the blade of a shovel,then he would pick it up, you with it !!!!!
Ho Hum

I had a physical / dexterity assessment before starting at Rolls Royce in '12, part of which included a strength test... asked which was my dominant hand I replied "right" as I'm right handed, which was tested first then the left hand which turned out to be stronger over a greater duration. Seeing the puzzled look on my face the Dr said "that in most cases the less dominant hand is stronger because it does all the holding, steadying etc". Also most people are also likely to have less dexterity / flexibility in their non-dominant hand due to the aforementioned... opinions vary of course.

V-Strom specific discussion / Re: Is this tyre safe..?
« Last post by Berty5000 on April 30, 2024, 22:23:27 »Being a full time faffer I'd let the air out of the tyre and plug it with a "stop and go" thing. I would then ride about at a somewhat reduced speed until the previously planned for tyre change date.
Tempting, and I have one of those kits, so could get some practice using it. Problem is that I'd have to actually puncture the tyre to make that work and, knowing my luck, I'll end up with a flat tyre after all and won't be able to ride to the garage!
