That's got to be the coolest custom built trike ever! How does that tiny radiator handle all the heat from that V12? It's an oil cooler at the front... Look at the close-up shot of the engine from the left hand side, and you can see it's pipes running back to the oil filter housing. Looking at the ...

Update: My wife brought home a twelve pack of coke yesterday... It easily fit in the saddle bags and the trunk with room to spare.

What, four cans in each?

Some really excellent, well-balanced views here!

To the OP that had asked about a car tire on the back. Hi OldMopars, I'm the OP (of this thread anyways). The thread has just been revived from a couple of years ago. I originally asked three questions, and none of them were to do with running a car tire; they were about load ratings, delamination/...

This individual does not deserve to be walking around on bail, he needs to be locked in the basement with no access to sunlight and only the basic supplies. My heart and prayers goes out to those individuals and their families who lost their lives that dreadful day Hang the guy. It wasn't an accide...

I cannot tell you what it's like to ride a GL1800, as I never have, but yours is a question that many have asked here in one form or another. There are plenty of threads on this forum debating the pros and cons between the two models. To be perfectly honest, I think you need to have a good ride of w...

I suspect the fan does not work at the designed temp range or at all.

Then surely the engine would overheat when stationary?

@coolrunnings is the jerk in all this. His entitlement arrogance causes problems for every genuine motorcycle guy or gal. He deserves a kick in the nuts. And the way he treated the seller, he should be banned. Not only that, the scumbag screwed over the seller, and THEN lied and scammed to get what...

Wow, melting!

I would like to think its an exhaust leak rather than heat from the radiator, although I suppose the latter may be possible. Please let us know what you find!

I'd bet you a shiny silver dollar it's an air-lock. https://www.newcelica.org/forums/showthread.php?t=361255 Seems like this car is a bear to bleed the air out. I'm not being funny, but ignoring the heater matrix for a moment (to keep things simple). If the cooling radiator has no blockages (you say...

I didnt realize the metzeler brand took such a dive since I last had my ear to the ground. I have not said the Metzeler brand do not make serviceable tires (for other bikes). There is just seemingly an issue with their rear tire sold as suitable for a GL1500. It seems to not stand up to the demands...

It seems I have a choice of dunlop or Avon for now until I can afford a matching metzler. NO, don't put a Metzeler on it, unless you like tread separation and blow-outs... there have been many potentially lethal failures of Metzelers reported here. Please search the forums for info! Stick to a Dunl...

If "sprinkles" equals "Hundreds and Thousands" then I can "safely" say I had them on top of my ice cream last year and survived the experience. When I Go to the Isle of Man in August I intend to ignore the danger and have the same again. Sid That's fine Sid, but may I just suggest that you don't ea...

In my opinion, the UK's absolute religious OBSESSION with "health and safety" above all other factors is obnoxious and a negative blight on the society. The "health and safety" cry is used as a trump card to excuse any ban, behavior or anything else the authorities deem unacceptable. You surprise m...

2 Bulls are colour blind to red. Well I tested a local member of the species with an Ishihara plate which any non-colour blind individual could see had a numeral seven on it, and the cow just gave me a baleful stare and wandered off. How much more science do you need? Perhaps the bull you approache...

commentors in favour of the event 1 It is from the BBC, an organisation which makes Pravda look balanced, so I won't bother thanks. 2 Bulls are colour blind to red. 1. It was not about the article its self Brett, it's the dozens of others comments at the bottom of the article independently posted t...

Sadanorakman, I understand what you're saying but, I also agree with others on here. Once government gets started on something they take it to extremes. I do agree with you TwoTone Trike re government getting their teeth into stuff... its those selfish, corrupt politicians again. I made the mistake...

Obviously the TT is a bit of a "Marmite" subject but it's all right with me. Couldn't get there this year but am going to the Classic TT/ Manx in August.

Sid.

I hope your trip is a safe and enjoyable one Sid.

Brett Challenger is the hero of my book which I never actually got round to writing. He was a sort of mix of Simon Templar, Biggles and Clive of India. That is SO cool. You should absolutely start writing it right now! Make a start at getting those years of ideas down. But no wait, I'm forcing my w...

Seems to me that most of the trouble in this world is from people who think that they know what's best for others and then try to force their will upon them. You'll never escape it offcenter, it's human nature. You've only got to look at 95% of politicians. I'm not trying to force my will on anyone...

Man I'm sure glad you don't live here in the states. Stay over there in sunny England. I bet you wear a seat belt when you sit down to take a crap, wouldn't want to get flushed down into the septic tank, ain't no way out of there !!!! And as far as cats go.... you are sick. I hope you choke on the ...

Shooting pigeons has been banned in the UK, thanks to the odious Chris Packham. And personally, I would like to see cats banned - ghastly creatures. Hmm yes, Chris P3cker. What's wrong with cats? They're delicious! and Brett, I've meant to ask you before, what's with the 'Challenger' bit in your na...

Drunk drivers kill innocents :shock: Ban cars!! Let's not forget guns -- Dangerous things there. Knives too! Oh yeah - I almost got killed falling off of a ladder --- Ban em! I can't think of anything that won't might kill you -- heck, it isn't even safe sitting on the couch eating potato chips any...

Wow, I really set the cat among the pigeons with that one! Thank you for all of the replies pointing out how people should have the right to kill themselves in any way they like, and therefore what an idiot I must obviously be to personally believe this event has simply become too dangerous over tim...

Just my opinion, but about time this seemingly ridiculous event was banned. Another Isle of Man TT death yesterday, (Daley Mathison aged 27), who leaves behind a Wife and Young Daughter. RIP Daley, and God Bless your Family. Don’t get me wrong, I do understand what is in these guy’s blood. It must b...
