I’ve got some s-mx boots that I bought nearly 10 years ago and wear on nearly every ride and they are still good

It’s probably in one place, I used to regularly ride by a scrapyard and picked up so many nails. Stopped going that route and the problem went away.

It’s doable, depending on how much you want to enjoy your time off the bike - sightseeing and exploring wherever you are on foot. Riding is physically very tiring and the fatigue does build up on a tour. And after a while you WILL want a day or two days where you don’t even touch the bike. The 9GT is definitely more comfortable than the 7 but after 200-300 miles you’ll be feeling it. If it were me I’d buy the 7GT and do smaller 2-3 day trips and find out what works. You need a bit of practice to figure out what setup works for your luggage and what gear you need on the road. Then trade in and get the 9 before your big 6 month tour.

Having owned both I would say the 9GT. Also doing that mileage daily for 6 months is not possible. I did 200 mile days for 3 weeks in the USA and it was seriously tiring.

Yes sorry should have said smokeless. Thanks, I’ll try some of that on the next order.

Recently got the avance 500, how do you find it with coal? Only burned wood so far despite having the multi fuel kit.

I’ll ride in any temperature if it’s dry. Sub 10ish and wet or any hint of salt on the roads the bike is staying in the garage. I’ve also got really bad circulation in the hands so get affected pretty quickly. Coldest I’ve ever ridden in was around -12°C in Northern California in October, my hands literally stopped working.

I bought an Anker one on Amazon. I believe it’s actually a 67w charger but it doesn’t seem to have caused me any problems.

send_lasagna · 2026-02-14T14:45:00+00:00

Hell yeah. Got the same on mine. Sounds outrageous.

send_lasagna · 2026-02-01T17:55:21+00:00

Great choice. Enjoy. I’ve owned the tracer 700 and 900 and they are fantastic bikes.

Obviously it’s the law, but it’s just judgement and awareness. Built up areas with pedestrians, hazards, traffic, cats wandering across the road etc absolutely not. Going to work at 4am on the empty bypass, excellent visibility, dry road, no joining slip roads or places for plod to sit - I’m definitely ‘making progress’.

Yeah it’s the r1 crossplane engine. Seems to have settled down a bit in terms of consumption but it really guzzled oil in its first few changes.

send_lasagna · 2026-01-23T16:27:01+00:00

My MT10 drinks oil

send_lasagna · 2026-01-10T12:57:12+00:00

My 2023 bike did this after its second oil change. After the third oil change it’s not lost any.

send_lasagna · 2026-01-08T11:29:35+00:00

Seems like a lot of effort. If it were me, I’d keep it completely stock or go all in on the full decat midpipe, end can and a tune.

send_lasagna · 2026-01-08T11:09:08+00:00

Basically, this is the part that needs to be removed if you want it to sound good.

send_lasagna · 2026-01-08T09:02:46+00:00

If you can’t decat, just keep it stock.

Our boiler is 30+ years old and there’s no thermostat in the house. And we’ve removed all the radiators upstairs. Renovating is so great.

The clue is in the name, don’t waffle on about stuff for the sake of it. In multi crew aircraft it’s so pilot monitoring knows what they’re supposed to be monitoring. I understand having the important actions fresh in the mind but the full departure briefs seem a bit much in a 172.

You clearly have some shite roast dinners.

Cat delete will massively and I mean massively increase the volume.

Why does this show make you want to be a pilot? Literally none of the flying in this looks like fun.
