    It also adds a stability-holding effect on single-sided swingarm since your swingarm would not have the balanced hold that exists on doublesided arms.
    But don't quote me on those. Somehow Honda officials refuses to admit this. Must've been something to do with sales pitch, I'd say....
    I wish my SP1 has an Air Guide.
    I always thought an "Air Guide" was kind of like a girlie ATC sort of thing??

    No way.
    Air Guide is actually an old concept developed by Phytagoras and has been around for ages, and it serves various purposes other than cooling a wheel hub.
    From old cow-pulled wagons to Space Shuttle, 90% of them has some sort of Air Guide in a variety of shapes.
    In modern cars, Air Guides are mostly located inside the cabin, and it serves the purpose of guiding the air....flow.... Normally related to air-conditioning system where the conditioned air is then guided by the air guide to various spots needing conditioning by air.

    The concept was started by coincidence, when one of Phytagoras's cow pulling his wagon suddenly broke wind after eating some dodgy food.

    I'd love to explain it further, but alas I am too busy at the moment. Too many porn website, too little time...

    Prolly need more drugs. I'm making do with pretending drugs (herbs'n'spices).
    But my brain feels pretty wasted, especially today, which is why I'm on here, instead of doing the stuff my boss asked me to do.

    Shame about the virgin hero blob
    Two-part answer:
    (1) The hero blobs are new(ish). One was missing, so I went to the fastener emporium ("Bolts is Us", or "Shot Our Bolts", or "Screw You 'N Stuff" or summat) and bought some caps and studs, and made my own for not much at all, at all.
    (3) That particular one is no longer virginal, after I scraped it on a kerb when I cut a corner a bit close.
    (F) I'm not a hero, but I am heading towards blobdom.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    You mean you went to all that trouble to lubricate your chain so nicely, and didn't lubricate your head cogs. Shame on you. And i'm calling the RSPCA and dobbing you in for hamster abuse. Poor little fellow, having to push a big thing like you around.

    I thought Hamsters are illegal in NZ?
    If it is legal, I WANT TWO!
