Normal or not?
Cheers for the advice all. I used to ride a ZX6 a few years ago and that used to overheat like mad if you left it standing still. I guess those funny looking side radiators must be good then?
I'm glad I bought a VTR but I did like my BMW. It was an 1150GS and it ended it's life wedged under a Peugeot 106 with me underneath. That's when I figured it was time to stop rolling the dice 100 miles a day in all weathers.
So I told my other half that I'd only ride the Firestorm in "nice weather". Blatantly not the case though. Went for a ride through the Peaks (I'm in Sheffield) last weekend and it tipped it down. But I still came back smiling
Then spent an age blasting off cow shite with a hosepipe.
Ahhh, summer is here.

Monkey!
I may be mad but at least I'm not dead. Yet. And long may that be so.

Hehe, did anyone ever find out if tripitaka (sp?) was a he or a she? Still a much discussed debate over here.logan7 wrote:Hello monkey how is tripitaka, pigsy and sandy doing
And LMHO at you lot even having temperature gauges on your bikes. Oh, well I guess you need to know if it goes above Flamin' Freezing, so you can actually take it out for a ride... You should just disconnect the gauges & buy electric blankets to put over them instead. Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
If you ate yourself would you become twice as big or simply disappear?
Tripitaka was played by Masako Natsume who is female but the characters
Other Names: Boy Priest,
Holy fool,
Master (pron. Mosta).
and
Features: Knows about Buddhism,
Looks like a girl,
Speaks like a girl,
Wears lipstick,
For all intents and purposes is a girl
but was a boy

Why thank you Logan, for that amazing insight into what could've possibly been the worst television show ever made... that I couldn't help watching anyway...
From what I recall, I often tried to summon up a magic pink cloud to whisk me away from whatever terrible circumstances my little self got into way back in the olden days... Reckon I had it down pat, just never saw any results. Very sad.
Almost as sad, was that I stayed for the Kenny Everitt Video Show straight after and only recently purchased a dvd of same...

Re: Normal or not?
On the weekend I did about 20 kms on gravel ( unsealed ) roads, ( not really recommended, but ended up sort of fun) Being in the lower gears( 3rd-4th) brought the temp up to 1/2 after about 10 mins, but never went higher.Monkey! wrote:Hi folks,
Anyway, my question is this- my temp gauge doesn't seem to want to go up beyond about 1/4 way although to be fair I've not left it standing to overheat. Is that normal??
It usually sits around 1/4.
