@midlifecrisis I'm looking at getting some motorcycle jeans, and mtb fingerless gloves, just has a bad stack on the bitumen at 30kmph on delirium after pumping up the tyre from 14 to 20psi. Scarly responsive, Knocked me back a peg to mission.

@wheelrich great. I'll take a look at that fender, thanks

Thanks for all the feedback, it put my mind at rest. Really fascinating to hear how the sound relates to the motor mechanics. Cheers!

@skyman88 extremely helpful, thanks! You now have me reconsidering float plates...

@skyman88 Agree! straight lines are not only boring, but they lead to increased fatigue on your legs and your feet.
