Title: Just popped down to Bognor Regis for lunch
Post by: routemaster on April 17, 2011, 06:38:49 PM
Hi

Meet up with FH in Bracknell just to pop down to Bognor Regis for lunch  :) :)

Had a cracking ride down a nice steady pace on some great roads and the scenery looked good in this beautiful sunshine  :) :)
After lunch we came back via Loomies were I departed back to Swindon and FH back to Bracknell.

For me a round trip of 226 miles on one tank of fuel  :) mind you the low fuel light come on at 214 miles but with only 12 miles to I wasn't too worried.

Kind regards

Steven

Nice looking bikes, I like the picture of the boats too with the foreground detail.

Is that the MRA Vario I sold already mounted? What's your thoughts on it?

Ah-ha yes it is.......the MRA is a bit like my Beowulf...and was fitted in the car park at work during my lunch hour ;D, certainly better than the standard screen, however even with the flip on full deflection still a bit of noise at 80+, the screen could do with being just 2 inches taller...it is completeley silent behind it though. It'll do for the time being..... i dont like the really big screens or laminar lips as i think they ruin the look/lines of the bike.....i'll stick with the MRA, its a good compromise  ;D

Your post echoes my thoughts. Would be good to have it another 2" as it probably would suit a 6ft+ rider more. I wonder if they would do a custom version.

might be worth asking the question, although their screen is a bit thinner than kwacka one, and less rigid....maybe the length is limited due to material thickness?? for the record i'm 6ft 1" (was 6ft 2" before my accident) with stumpy little legs and a tall torso
