Nicely done pictures are those @Bender

That's great,thanks. For what it's worth, I did understand your reply. Helped by knowing how a wing actually works regarding positive and negative pressure. I used to fly, (and still have) model glow helicopters, it's fascinating how the blades/wings work.

@Grumpy Old Git I got up late too

I imagine the boredom of flying above the clouds is similar to spending hours riding solo on a bike on the motorway (riding with friends is different). Whilst hypoxia is so dangerous, your account is pretty amusing and entertaining, but I found myself telling you to lose altitude. So, why spiral in descent and climb, is it to reduce any sudden effects of the change in temperature? How high can the small prop engines operate before there's not enough air?

Good morning bikers

Blimey, just looked on the MotoGb website, and I didn't realise there was a dealer so close to me! Cheers

Difficult to summarise that viewing, it was quite emotional, and full of wow, and wonder. I watched it through to the end, I was so enthralled/captivated by every aspect of the story, from the treatment of the black airmen, who despite segregation managed to deal with racism (an understatement) and fly escorts with more professionalism than their white counterparts, resulting in a heroic reputation. Then the incredible power and determination of Don Hinz and those that helped, to tell that story by flying the restored aircraft around the USA. I shed a tear to see Ben Hinz watching the aircraft that his father died in fly again, thus ending one chapter whilst another starts, and the story continues to be told. Thank you @Tinkicker

Wow! That's really something, and I can appreciate that 2D can nowhere near demonstrate the realism of the VR. It's actually a smaller cockpit than I thought it would be, maybe because the vast amount of instruments give the impression of something the width of an articulated lorry cab.

Not long before it's 30+, then we'll complain

I think you have good patience. It's great for those of us that read these posts, because the weather plays such a big part of the flying, so it adds interest. I'm too lazy to battle with the weather, and would just want to fly, so I'd be switching that real-time weather off and flying home. This is great stuff though. I'll watch the rest of that incredible Red Tail story after dinner tonight, so far it's been quite emotional, and I've lost count of the out loud cries of "wow".

@waynejuve Very interesting post above by @Bianco2564

Hi @waynejuve, welcome to the forum. No idea, as I've never had a fuel injected bike, or a ride by wire. Just following along to be nosey. Although, my only only thought is, does it change if you change riding mode? Assuming it's not cruise control, as that would cancel when ignition is off.

Site is now working...

Welcome to the forum @ScottGossett

Good afternoon. Looking like a kebab night. I'm going to indulge in a 1/4 lb cheese and bacon burger, smothered in burger sauce. Spicy deep fried mushrooms and chips on the side.

OMG, I'm going to wait until bedtime before I look at that picture again I'm rather jealous, there's nothing like new shiny stuff arriving.

I'm surprised at this, especially when there are so few dealers. It's a great positive note for the industry of course.

I don't really see an issue. If paying via an app means I get to take up a whole car space in a car park, that's alright by me. It means I get to park in a (usually) highly visible spot, and also nearer to where I want to be. Having chosen to ride the bike, security, and somewhere to stash my hat is my problem. Just need a lock and top-box.

Good morning bikers

Their site does appear to be down at the moment

What a great gang of hooligans though

The side lights have no effect on lighting the road, and have no beam to annoy oncoming drivers, they just spread. Side lights are just marker lights. I was trying to point out that because of the brightness, they make the bike more visible to other road users.

Did you do "Just Eat"?
