Have you tried the podcasts on motogp site? Nice bits of video from Estoril and previous and sort-of-interesting interviews & commentary from Valencia pre-race for free of course -

Ways to Prevent Nogbad From Posting List Number 1: a firewall. Number 2: a gift-box full of Geek World Monthly back issues. That should do it, keep him engrossed. -

It's time to start a new list. Let's see...I know... Ways to Prevent Nogbad From Posting List Number 1: a firewall. Hmm, that's a good one, there may be no need for any further items on the list... -

wish I was in bed about 6 hours ago or else had some of that stuff you know the stuff that they were talking about on the news tonight – Americans testing it on their military keeps them awake and sharp for 3 days without sleep Found this, is this it? It's an old article. and another: "Meanwhile animal studies hint at even more impressive effects. Research on rhesus macaques, carried out for the US military by Sam Deadwyler at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, found that sleep-deprived monkeys on CX717 actually performed better on reaction time and accuracy tests than when they were well rested. And non-sleep-deprived monkeys given the drug did better still." "Ampakines work by boosting the activity of glutamate, a key neurotransmitter that makes it easier to learn and encode memory. They change the rules about what it takes to create a memory, and how strong those memories can be, says Gary Lynch of the University of California at Irvine, who invented the drugs. "We all have the same computer," he says, "but we're running with different voltage levels." Ampakines up that "voltage"." Hmmmmmmm... voltage, eh? Time for bed -
Amazing, what collects down a hole

so that's a benefit then "Must go out and sniff the garage once more...just for safety's sake you understand" mmmmmmmmm

Were there not complaints about this valve in early threads here? Can't remember what exactly (Al Rottenburger is the expert here and on anything in the general fuel tank area). Is it possible that it might sometimes malfunction / become blocked and cause the tank-suck that seems to plague American bikes? Just asking MG obviously consider it safe to let the rest of us ride without it ...along with exploding factory flywheels that they blessed some of us with and run-dry mains...

Uk etc bikes don't come with any of that stuff in the first place. There is just the left side pipe – which is the drain from the recess in the tank. There is no pipe attached to the right side tank outlet and from what I remember, the 'in-tank' end of that tube seals up into the vent system in the tank cap. It wouldn't-couldn't drain in any normal circumstances. If the bike fell over on its left side, fuel, if it could escape past the seal would run out the left side drain. If it fell on its right side, I don't know, maybe some would get in through the vent and so escape down the right side tube, but I imagine that either way, more petrol might just escape the seal and run out from the cap. I can't see how you could fill the tank so completely full that expanding petrol would be forced into and then out of the vent. Definitely spilled fuel leaks from the left side drain (when you are filling the tank), but that's a different matter and it will only be a little amount and do no harm. As I understand it, the vent is for gaseous gas (as in the UK meaning of the word) passing either way through the system, whereas the drain is for liquid (whether water or petroleum). I may be missing something: so if an American citizen with experience of the 'extra' pipes, fittings and infamous tip-over valve would like to confirm or correct – please do so. As for the 'performance difference / cranking etc' ~ surely it makes no difference whatsoever. Just throw the stuff away, plug the holes and do the normal tuning set-up that you would do anyway, or not as the case may be. In my experience, removing, plugging or re-routing emmissions / breathe-back pipes hasn't made any difference to how an older engine runs. It may do on a modern motor with dependencies built-in and with a hundred sensors and more computers than Cape Canaveral – a £70,000 Range Rover maybe – but we buy Guzzis 'cause they don't have that stuff and don't work that way. Praise be. Edit. Guzziology probably has something to say on this. ?

As per the other thread, you might as well remove the long pipe, as it won't be doing anything. It's not a drain.

Cheers. It is more the angle that they sit at when they are 'unfolded'. But it's not the end of the world, particularly if passengers aren't often carried.

Socks! Hmmmmm It's usually fishnets.

Well, all threads lead to Lubbock, eventually: so why not look there?

If I pronounced trennscheibe it might be transcribed as à tronçonner. -
Well it's not me. Although he drifts around on a Griso and has reputedly stumbled into a sloppage empire, Ropey denies it also. Baldini gives all his money to charity. Big J is a Scotsman and lives down a hole: so that only leaves Little John 'Celtic Tiger' O'Sullivan – must be him. Offer to cut his grass.

I think that it is an extraordinary waste of alphabetical resources. However all is not lost, as it led me to this 'interesting' ungerades germanisches niedriges und Mitteltier: -
ONLY yeah, poor old John, it's a hard life... BTW check his credentials. If he is little, then it really is little John. If he is big, then it's Big J. The lady??? – could be Nogbad.
