[@artfranz2273]

You will definitely appreciate the heated grips. I use a heated jacket and heated pants as well, and that’s with a bike that has a full fairing. I don’t like to get cold. I’ve done that often enough. But you’d have to check if your bike has enough battery charging capacity to run the heated clothes; it most likely will, it’s a Honda. My bike is a Honda and it has the sewing machine sound too with the stock pipes. So I changed them to something with just a bit of a rumble to them. Much better, but not loud enough to be obnoxious, like far too many bikes have. Too loud is faaar worse than sewing machine sound.

I think I will be moved to the Netherlands in the near future, which is great because I learned Dutch and am advanced level, so it would be easy for me to order items off NL wss and buy foods from NL supermarkets, and I cannot wait to be moved!

I'm very interesting in knowing whether the valves were out of spec. I feel this is one of those things that realistically would be necessary closer to 50k. Especially with good oil changed regularly and ridden reasonably...

[@nickwhite6717]

The drama is valves suffer from wear during the run in period in the seat. When a valve seat wears, the clearance gets smaller, when they heat up valves dont seat properly and valves end up burning out. Much cheaper to get them done when required

I rebuilt cylinder heads for 25 years. Some seats wear and others don't. Some valve faces wear and others don't. The wear depends on the quality the company wants/specifications. I had a new 2006 V-star 1300 dodo motorcycle several years and rode it 30,000 miles. Yamaha's owners' manual recommending a valve clearance adjustment every 4,000 miles so every spring I checked the minimum valve clearance. It never needed a valve clearance adjusted in 30,000 miles. Not one.

When things settled. Depending on time of the year you can stop by our place in Arizona. We also have a place in Nayarit Mexico. You are welcome to stop by and rest and relax. We spend the winters in Mexico. Cheers!!

Long story short. I started watching you on the episode when you met that friendly Swedish police. I’m actually from Sweden. To hear you liked Sweden and Scandinavian over really warms my heart. But something that warmed my heart more is to hear you saying you going with Ronin. Hope to see more tours and adventure with you and that Ronin

[@gregp103]

Actually warm hearted simp.

Noraly is a happy girl today and so is Ronin! Those upgrades will surely be useful off road. Can't wait to see how Ronin turns out after all the mods have been made! P. S. Did anyone else notice how much Noraly was giggling and laughing in this vid? 😄😄

Dhanno's character more than compensates for her limited horse power. Good to hear that Dhanno is returning home.

“Sounds like a vacuum cleaner.” Hahaha! Sure made me laugh. Enjoy. 👍👍

I like your smile, every time you get new toys. You're giving me old memories of my 750K4. Great times. As long as I rode her, I never dropped her. good times.

The hole world love you!! And feel that they are with you on your tours Around the world! That is so hard to do ! I hope somebody really sponsor you good, so people can see what travel on a Mc are about!!!

You might feel like you're getting older, but perhaps for a bit of perspective I've been riding a fair bit longer than you've been alive, lol. I'm not personally a fan of aftermarket exhausts, but to each his own. At least you're honest about the reasons why you bought it: you like the sound. Heated grips are a must-have on any motorcycle. I'm a fan of Oxford heated grips for a variety of reason, including the big controls that easily can be operated while wearing big, heavy gloves. Regardless of the brand, however, heated grips are one of those things that you once you've tried them, you can never do without.

I love it, i did not know much Girls who are so happy about an akra exhaust..... ✌️✌️✌️
