Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
I don't like riding in strong winds until ...
... the wind is directly behind me and then it's bliss. The bike is running on the merest whiff of throttle, wind noise is negligible all you hear is a low droning from the engine and tyres and everything is right with the world. |

Even more true with cycling. I cycle to work sometimes and had a journey home the other evening where I was flying along at 20mph the whole way without pedalling! Lucky, as I was totally exhausted from the ride in that morning, into a 40mph headwind!

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Removed clutch switch last night, no more wiggling the clutch lever to find the temperamental magic spot.
She now roars into life first time every time - no noticeable side affect from removing it either. And yeah I still squeezed the clutch in. |

Didn't Yorkie Chris have one with over 100k on it? Although it may have had an engine rebuild at some point.
