Hmm, never heard anyone comment negatively on the heads before. I always looked at them as being a feature of character, like the inline 4 on the CB, very individual.
Strike. Pump and wind, keep the tip up, pump and wind.
Thanks, Alan.

I read Ptero last respnse 3 times before it dawned on me what he was saying. Lol good one Ptero

You will see from the above that I have base concerned with weight - that has two main elements:
1. Manoeuvrability in the garage: I have seen bike 'dollies' that make this much easier on the net - does anyone use them?
2. I have a gravel drive...think I'm just going to have to suck that one and see, but does anyone else have the same challenge?
Thanks

I just went a few miles up a forest service road yesterday. No issues.

A whole new "angle" on Ptero. A fine kettle o' fish this.
The weather in the UK put paid to my ride: Storm Katie (or some such nonsense), high winds....and snow. At the end of March.
So Ptero - struck, pumped and wound...but the tip's not up (yet). This is a deep pool.

When ya'll want to let the rest of us in on the joke, feel free.
Ptero was fishing with his Guzzi and Beemer cylinder heads comment. He caught Chapomis cause Chapomis just bought a Beemer. Took me a while to figure it out too.
He described the action of casting, setting the hook and reeling him in rather cryptically. Well played.
The Redbirds joined in with the " angle" ( as in angler or fisherman) and kettle of fish comment.
Another cryptic post.
Sometimes you have to ponder to understand these guys, and sometimes I think they are just fishing for attention. ( see what I did there?) lol
