500 Miles

I know two bike MOT stations without rolling roads. Unfortunately I
chose to use one that did have a rolling road ('cos it was conveniently
situated)


Still, disks done and now it's just a dodgy fork seal to think about. I
*think* a 'strategic cleaning' session before the MOT (shortly
before...) may get it through.

 

With the coming of computer "aided" MOT stations, I can't see those without
rolling roads being around much longer.

And at least with a rolling road, you now the brakes are as they should be.

Where in the Continent? Shirley you can't do that distance in
the UK -- I've always been told that nowhere is further than 75 miles
from the sea.

They don't have the threaded hole for a thumbscrew in the bottom
of the twistgrip housing any more?

Just a thought, and I haven't harped on about this for a few
years. You _have_ adjusted your brake and clutch levers so that your
forearm, hand and fingers are in a straight line when your fingers are
resting on the levers? I rode Andy the Pugh's R1 on Pahnd Island with a
scaphoid injury and for some reaon I couldn't adjust the clutch lever low
enough. It was agony pulling the clutch in. Having your wrists "cocked"
is a recipe for pain.

Frankfurt - Le Havre, 486 miles if you want to be pedantic.

Dunno, I'll have a peer at it, but current best sggestion seems to be
Heli bars r equivalent.

 

Now that Sir, is an interesting observation. I don't rest my fingers on
the levers when cruising, but I will check because a) every little helps
and b) it's free!

 

Well, it's the angle the wrist is at when operating the levers that's
critical; having your fingers resting on the lever to check adjustment is a
very close approximation to operating position but the (ideal) straight line
forarm-hand-fingers makes any angling easier to detect.
