    Those "Ohlins" are factory standard I believe.

    Got any pics of the front of the bike? Bet your airfilter is feeling the love lol.
    I pulled mine out a couple of weeks ago and there were heaps of bugs in it. Must have been about 30 odd bees in there too

    Haha no pic of the front of the bike. Front wasn't so bad, it's the work of double bubble screen that really blew it onto my face (ok that came out wrong).

    On my visit to Akaroa I went through a swarm of what I assumed to be the adult form of willow grubs: green abdomen, brown legs and wings.
    Gave me an idea for a trout fly to try near willows here. If there are any left after the council poisoning programme.

    Nothing so interesting locally. Last Friday three of us went through a swarm of something, turned out to be wasps. Open face helmets anyone?
    There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop

    Size 18 hook from memory. I tied one or two many years ago but don't know if I ever used them.

    ...if anybody wants any of those lake-flies, not a problem..i can have 1 kilo bags of them dried and shipped within 24 hours of ordering...they are really good for, ummmmmmm...they eat them around Lake Victoria in Africa and, ummmmmm..

    ...we live with the bastards from sundown to dawn...one light left on in the wrong place and a window or door left ajar and you are in the shit...we have had twenty billion get inside the house by being dumb and forgetful at this time of year...I had to shovel them out of my shed once, after I left my big sodium light burning...they were 20mm deep around the fall of the light on the floor, easy 5 or 6 sq meters...
