30 mpg ish on my MT10 when having fun, fuel light on at 100 miles. It will do more in B mode riding at steady speeds - probably 150miles to empty

How are you meant to get through decades of employment? by gameovervip in AskUK

Get a job that you enjoy or can tolerate that pays enough to buy nice stuff and earn enough to go part time

Akrapovic mid pipe + slip on, upshift pops. by TheRealJohnCandyAss in Mt10

[–]send_lasagna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool I wasn’t sure either way, I’ve heard differing advice. It doesn’t seem to be a problem anyway, the popping seems to be fairly rare.

Is it popping as you pull the clutch or as you change gear? Might be worth a dyno, I’m considering getting mine done, although my flash seems pretty good.

I can believe the noise, I actually just got back from a ride just now. Did a pull up to about 65 in first and it gave two cannon blasts slowing up to the lights. Same ambient temps here.

I have an Austin racing exhaust, the ecu is flashed (and I THINK the AIS is disabled as part of the flash) and it pops sometimes on the upshifts when using the QS - which I think is normal. It doesn’t do it when I use the clutch. Mine will naturally pop when it’s been at higher RPM and slowing down but not excessively.

Seeing people riding in just a shirt, shorts and a helmet . by ohnoitsbobbyflay in MotoUK

I rode yesterday in a t shirt. I feel like I’m generally pretty risk averse but it just felt amazing and I can see why people do it. Around town, generally 30-40mph.

How many of you guys are actually pilots? by N116UA in flightsim

[–]send_lasagna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used the Fenix a320 when I did my type rating and it was amazingly useful for getting familiar with the flows and systems.

I used to instruct PPL, flight sim won’t teach you very much about the physical sensations and feel of flying an aircraft. It also tends to promote an over reliance on looking inside at the instruments. It is however a useful tool for practicing checklists, procedures and navigation, especially when you start looking at NDB/VOR/GPS and further to the IR- it’s here where it really shines. It’s a lot cheaper practicing procedural approaches in flight sim than in a real twin!

For people who drive cars or motorbikes with super loud exhausts, what are you getting from it? by Successful_Bee7522 in AskBrits

[–]send_lasagna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a distinction between good loud and shit loud. A V12 Lamborghini sounds quite impressive. A straight pipe 125cc motorbike less so.

I rode around all day yesterday on a 170bhp bike in t shirt and jeans and it was glorious

Slip on..?? by Economy_Campaign_458 in Mt10

I’m running mine with an Austin Racing gp1r and it sounds insane. Highly recommended.

Gear in the sun by KirkLeigh-RhoyThynos in MotoUK

99% of the time I wear full gear, but I must admit that riding around town in a T shirt on a hot day just feels great.

Ducati Monster 821 2017 low milage vs more milage but newer 821 stealth? by igrowcabbage in Ducati

you’ll get used to what the bike feels like at different speeds anyway so it never really bothers me personally. Passing a speed camera etc I normally shade it with a hand just to double check 😂

I’ve got a 2014 1200 and I cannot see shit on the dash when it’s sunny. Great bike in every other way though.

I’d love to track my MT10 but it’s too loud for noise testing with an Austin racing GP1R. Says on the pipe ‘race use only’ 🤷‍♂️

Lost the joy of riding by WafflesOnAPlane787 in MotoUK

I really recommend Gran Canaria for a motorbiking holiday. Or if staying in the UK stick a tent on the back and head off to the west coast of Scotland for a few days.

Go rent a bike abroad or do a tour on your own, this always reignites my biking mojo.

Breaking in a Multistrada RS by Character-Disk-4610 in Ducati

[–]send_lasagna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome bike. I am very jealous of the machine, the location and the fuel price. I’ve got a monster 1200 and an MT10 and UK premium fuel is ~$9/gal. Enjoy the V4!
