Hi Ashen,

 

Glen and I discovered that We've got two burnt marks on our thighs this morning. It was due to the extreme heat from the engine conducted to the rear side of the fuel tank. Imagine cooking sunny side up on the hot frying pan.

 

The weather was really hot especially around 3pm.

 

The FJR overall temp gauge in the morning indicated only 2 bars with the same punishment. Probably it's due to the much cooler morning sun.

 

The temp gauge stayed 3 bars from Malacca to GP. With the average speed of 200km/hr. That's how we got the burnt marks from the fuel tank.. Word of advise, not to punish the beast in noon. Torque and pulling power felt weak especially engine temp increased. I'm sure that goes with all bikes.

 

BTW, Thanks for bringing the accessories to us.

 

For your info.

Small claims don't do criminal, they only do commerical cases.

 

Also be careful, maybe the thief sold it 2nd hand to the current 'owner'. Most of them not silly enuff to wear ( and most of then time the stolen helmet wrong size).

[Teamlm]

Any Fjr travelling up north to the Songkan water festival? I will be riding up with another FJR on the 11th April and back on the 13th April 2005. Let's form up riding buddy party if any one of you going there.

 

Take care.!

Oh Yah, didn't think of that, silly me

 

Most of them are too "Cheap" to wear an expensive full face anyway
