He can no longer "appreciate life" wearing 250 grams of armour but wears a 2 kilo airbag vest EVERY DAY ? (Brand name prominently displayed...) His kneecaps & elbows, not mine...

"Influencers" are nothing new, here's one from the 80's.

That's the GUZZIOVERLAND ! Definitely worth another look at the bike, the people, the trip :

Hi, sorry, I only now came upon your post. Yes, the two original horn wires go to activate the relay. Then a short wire (+fuse) to feed the relay from the battery, then two wires to the horns (these relays usually have two "out" blades, so no splicing). The Voxbells I used are grounded through...

I found the stock horn way too feeble,as I only use it as a last resort before some idiot bumps me off the road or blindly reverses into me. A pair of two-tones (mine are Voxbell) really gets their attention, and it's easy to find room for them. You only need to re-route the original horn wire...

You must be joking. One of my recollections of my couple of years in Fort Worth (your neighborhood) is tarentulas the size of my hand (and a few smaller scorpions, too).

The passenger is the legendary Dane Rowe, probably gulping in a lungful of air in anticipation of the landing. She's a treasure trove of Continental Circus lore from her later career passengering Rudi Kurth. Awesome lady...

Oh yes, true love and all that. '79 T3, odo's gone three times over in 30+ years, and I can safely say the S10 has RUINED that relationship, the Tonti hardly sees the light of day these days. Problem is, while it doesn't have half the personality, the S10 has twice the going and stopping power...

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...

It's a slippery slope... Heron Suzuki Lambretta
