Sacrebleu!

By the way, as a matter of interest etc do you guys, over there, have digestive biscuits? If so, do you call them something, well, let's say a little more modern?

The Moto Guzzi Baguette Now there's a fine name for a motorcycle.

Mercy!

Never mind what weather it is, what's your time like? Mine is short. And getting shorter.

Oh yeah, let's! What's your address? We'll send Dr Ratchet around for a 'chat'.

Exactly. I thought that you were just making a joke / a funny reference because of what you had seen about the BMW stuff. Plain and simple – it was funny – nice observation, Dan. As for all the tech observations, by everybody, they are fine stuff too, but I reckoned that if you had actually meant to start another tech discussion, you would have done it in the proper place, i.e. the gold mine that is Tech Topics.

It's from a common or garden vehicle space heater description actually. Again, you miss the point and again I refer you to the Forum title. Your 'Mastery of the Obvious' is slipping Ratchet. I recommend a weekend vacation in San Francisco: be sure to wear some flowers in your hair. ** I don't mean a garden vehicle. I mean a 'common or garden' vehicle. ** Not to be construed as a space vehicle or referring to 'heating outer space'. This is 'obviously' for heating the space in a vehicle. It could be a space vehicle, with suitable modifications. Any suggestions for such modifications are welcome. Do put any thoughts on how best to test such a device (a tricky nut. given the extremes of temperature that it would have to cope with) in Tech Topics though. BTW, enquiring minds etc... Do people in San Francisco use hair dryers on their hair – or not, for fear of wilting the flowers? Perhaps that's what encouraged the craze for alt hair dryer usage and has resulted in pointing at sensors and the like. I suppose they don't really need hair dryers, for hair drying, cos they got so they gotta do something with the things. DL ("bring a pot of water to a boil – perhaps by pointing hair dryers at it – reduce heat just enough to maintain roughly 100C, stick the sensor holders into the water") No, enough alt. Usually you guys confine your whacky notions to Tech Topics (who left the door open?). Stick to dunking teabags. Take it from me, you'll not better the taste.

See new post in 24/7 on MGS 01 video. It will either help you, or make you sick.

MGS 01 on track

Somebody should photocopy the MG V block into a 15th Anniversary 2010 Triumph Speed Triple and sell it to Guzzi.

Mackerel? I always it thought that it was kippers you keep in your boots. NB I resisted the temptation to say, 'sole'

Ratchet you seem, again, to have missed the point. Perhaps you didn't see what Forum you are posting in, or even properly read the first post and it's title.

Well it's like this: when there is a difference in air pressure between location A and location B, then air will flow, or move, from the area of higher pressure to the lesser. Sometimes this is called wind, or gusting. Dan has been a bit lazy and hasn't specified his location or the prevailing barometrics. I'd be guessing, but I'd go for about Force 2 on the Beaufort Scale, though I like to imagine, if he's any sort of man at all, that it was approaching gale force 10. Mainly it boils down to what speed he was doing at the time, as this air flow thing is so relative.

I came across these videos. They show some of the character of the Torr Head Road, though as with all videos, they don't capture the dramatic up and down gradients. Maybe those of you who rode it last May can see better why I went that way. Pity we got blasted by deluging rain, wind and low cloud! We went in the opposite direction, south to north. These are basically north - south. I'm posting them here because the curves in my photos above can be seen at 3'40" in This one has motorbikes, again that particular section appears at 2'25" And a scenic one,

On reflection, I'd rather go and journey where the diamond crest is flowing and Run across the valley beneath the sacred mountain and Wander through the forest Where the trees have leaves of prisms and break the light in colors That no one knows the names of And when it's time I'll go and wait beside a legendary fountain Till I see your form reflected in it's clear and jewelled waters And if you think I'm ready You may lead me to the chasm where the rivers of our vision Flow into one another but that's just, er, me, I think or, anyone else want to give it a go.....?

Seems convincing. I'd try it myself but I worry about the excessive contribution to global warming. Is that something to be concerned about? I'd be pleased to hear your opinion. BTW, why did you use BMW thread? I'd use cheaper Chinese polyester thread, but that's just me.

Maybe they saw the new California that's meant to be coming next year, along with the Clubman? By the way, does the Bellagio still exist, or not?

I got rid of my cat. Open pipe now. Only thing is, I could do with ALTERING the air temp sensor reading to be INACCURATE, thus fooling the ECU into adding more fuel and hopefully making the engine run better. Any thoughts on how to do that? Enquiring mind.........

Oh, why didn't you say earlier? If you're interested, it's quite easy to alter the air temperature signal. Here's how: "The hot-air heaters are connected to the fuel system and vehicle electrical equipment. The air heating is performed owing to heat, evolved in the heater while the fuel is burning. When the hot-air heater switches on, the pilot light lights up on the operating control. The candle becomes to glow; the hot-air heater starts to operate on the low revolutions. In 25 seconds the fuel delivery starts. When the flame is identified and burning process is regulated, the candle switches off. The heater heats at maximum while the heat exchanger is not heated up before operating temperature. In the heating mode the internal temperature and employed air temperature are constantly taken and compared with the temperature on the control device. When the predetermined temperature is reached, the heater changed over the waiting mode; at the same time air circulation is performed. And as soon as the temperature value will fall below the predetermined one, the heater switches on again. When the heater switches off, the pilot light becomes dim and the fuel delivery ceases. Then in order to cool the heater, the blowout follows ( the ventilator is only operates)." If anyone has a better idea, I'd be pleased to hear it.

You'll not be able to keep up, riding about on the Axone. 'Spose this means that I'll HAVE to get the Scura back on the road. Or the LMlll, though I reckon you'll need the comfort of the Scura. Or here, maybe you could just fix them... actually, come for a week and you can fix all the neglected Irish Guzzis, in a very orforised fashion and all. You'd make enough to cover the airfare home.

As above. Wow, I wasn't expecting such quick response! Fantastic
