Well, I had my jacket and gloves[1] in there too. And the removable
radio thingy, and some space. Honest.

[1] This bike makes me ride sans jacket and gloves. Very Blaneyesque.

Oh, alright, then.

They do. Last year I popped out for ciggies from Linda's mum's house
in T-shirt and jeans, and ended up in Spain.

And the funny thing is, Linda's Mum lives in Oslo.

 

Heh.

To be fair, it was the GPS that got us home again, as I had no useful
map to hand.

**** that - a woolly mammoth skull would fit on the fairing. Complete
with tusks.

 

Er.. are you joking?

It puts hot fuel back into the tank???

 

Yes. It's actually the most common way for automotive[1] fuel
injection systems to regulate fuel pressure- there has to be some
way for the bled-off fuel to return to the tank.

[1] Dunno about most FI bikes.

 

Indeed.

 

I tried to get the damn thing off the side stand and failed
*miserably*.

Did you try it? And did you succeed?

 

Champ says...

I had enough trouble backing the fucking thing out of its parking space,
so write that up as a big fat NO!

Hats off to you for succeeding though. You're madder than a box of Lady
Ninas.

 

Just sussed this thread. Damn I never even thought of trying to hoist the
bugger!
Straight line I was impressed, goes some for a big'un, then I tried to take
an acute adverse camber T junction on a hill and it all got very worrying.
Then I tried to corner it hard at 95plus and it got even more worrying.
Want one!!!

Carrie recounts that riding pillion on the Voyager made her feel sea sick. I
suggest you may have dropped your guts in a "morning after beer" manner into
the still air pocket behind the fairing Nigel.

 

Odd, I'd have thought she'd be used to that. I'll give it a miss next
time.

On the Gixxer her head is right up in the fresh air stream.
The bitch still preferred it mind.
