    Open or closed helmet visor... that is the question

    I was stung multiple times inside my helmet by something (probably a wasp), just outside caledon on my way home from the canola run 2022. Pulled over at the Total towards Napier. Bought a bag of ice and sat there for an hour. Slow learner... still ride with goggles and visor up.

    Open or closed helmet visor... that is the question

    Bell MX9 with MX goggles. I only flip down my visor when it gets super dusty, as in R355 and trucks kicking up dust , dusty or when it is pouring with rain. Otherwise it's goggles , winter , summer commute and offroad.

    Electrical best practice

    Many of the factory provided 12v outlets are meant for low amp draw devices such as chargers & GPS. a dedicated fused circuit with the correct gauge wiring for a compressor is the way to go.

    Overrated motorcycle features, do you agree ?

    The riding modes sorta takes care of it. I never switch off the front, but the riding mode takes care of the rear at least and that doesnt reset.

    f800 gs confusion

    On my license it states my regular f800gs trophy as Series = F 800 GS Adventure so there is probably an overlap.

    Overrated motorcycle features, do you agree ?

    Too many ride modes. How many do you really need?? An annoying feature on many NEW bikes are the resetting of settings when the bike is switched off. It is one of the reasons i like my f800gs. The ride modes don't reset.

    f800 gs confusion

    There is a seperate preload adjustment. My understanding is that ESA is for damping.

    f800 gs confusion

    Your enduro ride mode is essentially your offroad mode. On the later models you have rain,road,enduro & enduro pro. Each one with progressively less baby-sitting. You can stil manually switch off ABS and ASC

    Bike Finance BS?

    And lets say i take the policy but refuse to claim against it in the first 6 months? The dealer is no better off. This stinks to high heaven. They are still on the hook for the repair.

    Bike Finance BS?

    Why should Joe Bloggs have to cover the dealers implicit 6 month warranty with an additional policy?

    Show us your F850/750GS/A

    I had the same experience with the tkc 80 and anakee wild. Brand spanking new it felt very unstable on tar. After a while it settled in or I just got used to it 🤣 I will probably go back to the anakee wild as it was a lot more puncture resistant than the tkc 80.
