Sorry bit of a rehash from a prior post with some rework.
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I paid $1.69 for a litre of fuel and it started a bit of a discussion so humour me and read on, some of this is tongue in cheek no offence intended so my rant starts with changing stuff on your bike and changing to another bike.
My feeling is its cool to do what ever floats your boat and if you change stuff on your bike thats ok with me hey its your bike.
And I am not looking for a spray or response on what I am going to say but my feeling is this the amount of engineering that goes on prior to a bike leaving the factory is far beyond what I can get my head around so I just dont mess with it. If you dont like it and want another bike just move on open the wallet help simulate the world economy and continue the journey.
On another note on Sunday I'm planning to leave home on sunrise and ride to Phillip Island for lunch via Mirboo North ( coffee at the inline four cafe ). No doubt I will get home and have a sore arse and then bang on about my seat but I find it more economical to open a can of you know what.
Have good weekend its winter her at the southern latitudes and all the talk of hot weather is making me feel great. The ride when the days are short and the shadows are long is good for the soul.
And as I knock back another stubbie ( no tea tonight ) I'm thinking of a fuel fact from all those years ago. Those of you that like to record your fuel economy here is one for you. The Saturn 5 that took Neil and Buzz to the moon got seven inches to the gallon. But what a ride so who care about the milage. What a ride that would have been.
Spent some time cleaning the bike this week and discovered chrome in places not having displayed shine before.
