It was no use, car drivers STILL told them: "Sorry mate, I didn't SEE you..."

All right, thanks. I guess the ultimate range of a tankful is best left uninvestigated, then. Not sure what you mean, this is a pic of a Euro Tenere tank filler neck. Plenty holes in the baffle. I remember some elaborate US pump nozzles sucking back the air escaping the tank, so maybe your...

I'm taking the opportunity of this thread to ask a related question: what happens when an injected bike runs out of gas ? The Tenere is my first, and it has not happened to me (not that I intend it to !). Do you get the few seconds' warning a carbureted bike gives (time enough to switch to...

Same experience as yours with my 2012 T, Axel. The immediate approach to my home includes a half-mile stretch of a slightly downhill street I take in 3rd gear at about 20 mph/2000 rpm, and the backlash in the shaft drive is clearly audible in that configuration. Bike approaching 70 k miles and...

Just a thought, could a piezoelectric primer be made compact enough, cigarette lighter-type, to be screwed in, replacing the nipple & cap ? Firearms are heavily regulated in my country as well, but black powder muzzle-loaders (period, NOT replicas) are free to own, so I've been daydreaming of...

Went for an evening walk with a friend, found this pristine, completely deserted stretch of tarmac. Walked for over an hour, never found a turnoff, never saw a living soul or a single vehicle, and ended up where we'd started. Weird.

Playing with online calculators and some available MotoGP data, you get close to 600 BHP equivalent power for the front brakes, and almost 1.5 g decelaration forces...

Yes there is a shim for that. It's next to the rubber grip on your picture. Goes INSIDE the casting. Fixed.

Oh give him a break... The man "obviously" suffers from acute arthritis in his right hand, and the passenger provides a mobile therapeutic source of heat to treat his condition. It's called soft tissue healing.

East... West... I think Santa's still digging his sled out of the mud out there somewhere... Reindeer probably said "Screw this" and flew home...
