Gambia on an airhead?

[Colt]

there was a hairdryer available for the dakar g/s.
fits in the frame instead of the tyrepump.

Will you be able to see that GPS with the tankbag on?
I couldn't...

Should be ok, the tankbag if I fit it is angled to the rear on the HPN tank.

Of course if I fit a top box I won't need a tankbag.

Just back from a trip to Skye and Rassay on the bike in pretty cold conditions which were a good test for next year, you can find details in the Ride Reports section.

Gave me a chance to check out the bike and some of the alterations, the wind deflector combined with a Shoei multi-tech was a disaster as it seemed to deflect the rain (which we had a lot of) and crap right onto the visor meaning I had to wipe it every 30 seconds. MRA screen will be fitted shortly to sort that out.

The Tony Archer seat was superb, not a problem with rear end ache over the entire trip with plenty of support, top marks to Mr Archer

Might find that the different screen gives different problems. Have you thought about trying the bike without any screen? I find that my visor is in quite clear air, which means it doesn't clear itself like it does when in turbulent air Ideally I'd aim for the rain drops being blown down the visor by the turbulence.

I might use rain-x or pledge to try and keep the visor as clear as possible.

Can do, but don't wish to swamp your thread.

I see Siebenrock do them for €69 just for the ss gear change

And that would feed a Gambian family for a month

Thanks for those. You're right, didn't to divert the thread. You can always post a few on the Calum's Road thread to whet our appetite so to speak

Now I'll get off the airhead section and stop clogging up Roger's thread....

Tim

Pics and background would be very interesting for those involved, perhaps you could post some over on the Calum's Road section of open invite trips?

And while your on can you do the mod thing and remove Nakambale's drivel from my airhead thread?

[Thunder]

Change of plan on the bike front, got to be an Airhead but instead of the mono I'm going to take this

Complete strip down will start next week then a full rebuild and some cosmetic work.

Can post pics and drivel as it progresses if ya want?
