BTW, tyre fitter showed me about half a cup to a cup of water in each tyre. Don't know if the previous owner used the same air supply regularly but you need to know that the air hose is delivering only air.

Had a blast of a ride this evening, testing the engine braking brake light trigger and then just getting carried away with myself

 

I'm not normally a lie on the tank person.....but once i got my body forward the angle which my long arms made with the bars made countersteering so accurate and fun that it wasn't until the low fuel warning came on that i thought about heading home. Smile

I accidentially discovered this, too - leaning forwards (more or less lying down on tank) give you much better control when cornering violently...

I'm putting it down to the raked angle of the bars. I can see how clipons could be addictive !

Well... Its only two weeks since the snowmobile was put away for the season.

Was snow in the air yesterday also, yet it was above zero. But yeah, i believe you when you say you drive in that weather, only bikes on the road here are europeans tourists on the way to north cape.
