    Pimp my Transalp

    Those chrome air scoops are bling - but I suspect they are high maintenance (too much polishing involved)

    Our computer has been in censorship mode recently, so I can't see marks (perverted?) photos or any posted videos. Previously I could. What settings do I need to change?

    maybe I stuffed the links up - I can see them - can anyone else?

    is the bike any more tiring to ride Andy - without all the wind/weather protection?

    It's kinda scary how that actually looks like it belongs on the bike.

    Eddie if you want you can borrow the headlight for your WOF . It has four rubber straps around the forks. The bulb fitting has 3 tiny 4.5mm spade connectors & I've made a wiring extension to 10mm spades which plug into the Honda wiring socket.
    And no I'm not loaning the chrome.

    The original windscreen caused a lot of buffetting around my helmet so without screen is quieter all round. From 80km+ there is more wind pressure on the chest but no problems on last weekends 430km ride around the Wairarapa.

    The mighty V-max was never any good at going around corners either.

    I remember seeing an add for one at a wreckers recently. It could be done.

    But seriously...........paint it black.

    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    nah, abandoning the family - well leaving them here in Blenheim is the plan..for the first year or so anyway. Not easy.
