My Honda is a twin. I can sit a bottle in the Vee and always have hot water for coffee.

Is it true what they say about honda riders ... ???


I have a thermos ... hot coffee if I don't take too long to drink it ...

[eldog]

isnt coffee a diuretic?

I remember taking a thermos on a ride and stopping with a young lady for a drink, such fond memories.

Take coffee and young ladys ... in moderation.

Or get the young lady to make you a coffee ... either way is a win ...

i dont go around taking pictures of myself like all the youngsters of today.
unless you send $5 and 2 bags of chips
off to work on the lights on the boike so it can be ready for the cruise.
due for a major service in the next couple of weeks, want to get that done so i can shake the bike down and make sure its ready for the cruise. Maybe i will need a new set of tyres but i will see

regular sips of 20-50 ml not a problem while underway, got on the supply sorted.

not sure if i need a sports drink, mostly water i guess, sports drink for salt and nutrient loss?
would a protein/nut bar be better than a Moro or would i get more GO from a Moro

We went out and rode to Wellsford and back tonight as a start of training. Turns out my headlight sucks as a headlight.

But a couple of hundred Ks knocked out.

You can get bulb upgrades ... or get it wired (with relays) for a higher wattage bulbs ....


Practice on roads you don't know. You'll learn more.

I have all I need to run relays, just not got round to it. Then will try some bulb options. Probably go 90/100 or something.

Not many roads around here I dont know......

Try them at 4am ... you get a whole new perspective on them.


After completing a 1000 miler ... you realise there isn't anywhere on your island ... you can't get to on (what you'll then consider is) ... an easy day ride.

Another option some use .... mini spot lights on either side of the headlight (set to come on when high beam is on). Slightly offset outwards from the direction of travel. The idea is ... they show up more of the side of the road as you go through the twisties ...
