Is that a spectroscopic analysis of the whisky in the background?

Haha good idea, but not quite [emoji6]
There was actually a good paper published recently about adding water to Whisky and why it can improve the taste.

That figure in the background is composed of a series of 1H NMR spectra acquired over a range of temperatures.
Instead of Whisky, it is of a protein called cytochrome c, which is a crucial enzyme involved in energy production in mammalian cells [emoji846]

Think I?d have struggled studying Whisky on my PhD as the samples would likely go missing far too frequently lol ... though there would be no such thing as a bad result [emoji23]

These got delivered today... these European sizes do my **** in. I thought 44 was a 10 but it's somewhere around the 9.5 mark. I tried them on.. comfy or what ! but a tiny wee bit small on my left foot, I could feel my toe touching the inside of the boot. So Ill swap them for a 45. They are exceptionally well made...mind you they should be for the price...nice looking boot I thought.

The Evo Voltex boots look great Stuart.
Am glad you?re finding them comfortable already despite being one size too small!

I?d recommend getting a pair of full length orthotic inner soles (just the production ones) as that?ll not only help absorb peg vibrations, but I find the extra arch support is fantastic when in the boots all day.
Not a criticism of the boots at all, as I do that will all shoes/boots now [emoji846]

 

[stuartb]

Sounds good Oli.. Ill buy a pair

I live 4 miles from Glenrothes Oli, but the whisky is not made there.
Try Auld Cameron if you like a dram, it's made at the end of the road in my town and is very, very good.

Thank you for the suggestion Jimmy, Auld Cameron will be next on my list [emoji6]

My top trio distilleries on my Whisky journey so far are Glendronach, Glenfarclas and Old Pultney.
What are your favourite distilleries?

Fed up not using my machine thru the winter so decided to buy some thermal layers to encourage cold day rides.

I walked into Decathlon today looking to buy a warm jacket for after my gym sessions and had a look around, I picked up a pair of Merino Wool leggings ?20.00.. A (Jimmy Mac esque) Balaclava for ?5.99.. A cracking PAIR of Full length thick hunting socks ?6.99.. which btw feel as good quality as my ?20 ea plus BMW ones and a neck buff for the bargain price 0.99p.. Decathlon stuff is actually great VFM and the quality is perfectly fine for a fraction of "proper bike gear" prices.

If anyones looking to refresh their cold gear I'd give the Frenchies some of your money.. happy boy!.

Winter can f**k right off...
I've been promising myself one of these for years. Rukka Flexius Jacket - Black - 2XL, currently 25% off at Sportsbikeshop. Not the top spec. Rukka, but still a kick-*** jacket and a good cut for a sports bike.
My 3 year old ?100 ARMR textile jacket was doing OK until I got the S1KRR. Spirited riding basically shagged the poor jacket to death, including the jacket weave unravelling at the seams and the pockets opening up by themselves and chucking the contents onto the road, far far behind me probably, FFS.

Finally got round to buying frame protection, quality looks great, now need to get all that faring off again, should have timed this a bit better, I've only recently done the rad guards.. So for people who already have done this, standard bathroom silicon, or temperature stuff?
