This will seem condescending, but it's not supposed to be. Do you know how to tune a carb? Might be useful to look at a simple step by step guide and start from zero.

Close your eyes as you blow, it's not rocket science. This advice will clearly be taken out of context

That's great. What a nice idea and gesture.

Do you go out just for the ride, then? Cause surely you're not setting up a picnic in some beach on that weather?

I´ve selected that picture as picture of the day. I didn't think you took it, scary stuff.

Awesome picture!

that's the stuff, you're our own one man scooby gang, Pete

I don't think this is a win for me ?

Don’t worry Bruce, as soon as all this shutdown malarkey stops I’ll go over to visit Sofia and let her know how things are, what the word is.

I don’t want to trust that

BTW, the Strom’s looking clean! I had one, borrowed from a friend for a weekend before I bought my R1150, did a lot of miles on it, nice bike.

What’s with you and abandoned villages, Pete? you never make your way to a nice village for a bogavante rice or a nice ham sandwich?

A bot posted it, but someone wrote it ?

You could? What kind of twat wrote this?

I think that's how people get elected nowadays, too I closed my facebook account when we started getting comments on the migrant issue when it first started. I just closed it and never even thought of re-starting it.

They're all waiting for you to die

All you need is a dancing banana smilie, a johny cash giving you the bird banana smilie, and Pookie ( @modrover) will keep this alive in an inane thread @modrover, Pookie, where are you? over!

Well, the obvious advantage for some vehicles, is that an airbox increases you fording ability, some KLRs probably put that to use. However, I think the clearest advantage of an airbox is that it makes it easier to have a better throttle response on lower rpms.

What on earth do you take with you on a day trip that needs 150 liters of packing space? Can’t beat that 19 to 26 or 27 degree temperature range for a nice pleasant ride, can you?

That’s a kick in the back for sure, brilliant

I know, that's why I don't really care for it ?

Good stuff ? What kind of horsepower is that thing making, and what are your normal times?

I have to admit to being a fair weather wuss. My brother's been all over Scotland and told me it's great, almost as pretty as Norway (which we've toured on car several times), but the idea of riding a bike on my holidays for several rainy days kind of takes care of the enthusiasm to do it.

I could get an add on to the bike's screen or a bigger screen, but I love not having a big piece of plastic in front of me.

Well, my bike has a smaller than stock screen, so there is more air all over, I am not sure about more turbulence at motorway speeds but a lot more bugs hit my helmet than with the standard helmet. My problem with the Schuberth that I tried was that it shaked a lot more than my motocross helmet, which is a Shoei. The motocross helmet hasn't got that vibration, but is obviously a lot worse at catching air, not to mention there is no shield so there is a big hole catching air right there. I understand that a beak is never going to be ideal, but my question was about if there is any experience with one that is not so bad. I love a modular helmet, because I ride with it open on slow speeds and love the feeling of opening it up right before arriving somewhere on a hot day. I would get an open face but the idea of getting a stone right in my face on the motorway doesn't appeal. But the beak appeals for touring...
