HeliBars Gen 2.0 handlebar risers for Goldwing 2018 plus

Image
I love riding Sherbert and experience backache. As a sports-tourer, Shadowfax did the same. Fitting the Bike-Quip handlebar risers  eliminated most of my discomfort. It's natural to expect the same outcome from fitting handlebar risers to Sherbert. I chose the HeliBars Gen 2.0 handlebar risers against a field of cheaper alternatives and imitations. Everyone reviewing the Performance Handlebar Risers for 2018+ Gold Wing gave a positive outcome. They listed the following benefits, which matched my needs: Improved low-speed control Relaxed arms with improved reach Exceptional quality Proven manufacturer's record So, how did that turn out? Fitting the HeliBars Gen 2.0 handlebar risers The HeliBars arrived from WingStuff in a cardboard box containing labelled bags with the risers, the bolts, a pair of covers, and two small zip ties. An instruction booklet came with them. Preparation includes protecting the bike's surfaces. I used masking tape and blankets that survive from my...

Speed Limits We're a Nation, if not a developed World of time watchers; speed, efficacy, ease of learning; no time, need to do it now; to have done it 10 minutes ago. A new model is coming out. It's under development but I want to see it now. Human kind is going to Mars; are they there yet? The train leaves at 0713hr (not bloody 0715; else we'll be late).

This isn't a new state of society; I remember Brains Faggots* heated in a gas oven was the height of convienience in the early '70s, and to my math that'd put 60 to 70-year-oldsters in the realms of instigators of haste; the inventors of rush, and the executers of swift time. Then why must these not-yet-old teats swan about in their safe Nissan Micras at 35 a...

Spain! Here we come! Planning is one thing and especially in the current situation of heatwaves and firestorms. That written, we've planned an ambitious two week tour of northern Spain, As you can tell from the embedded map, it's a lot of kilometers to cover. Some days, the kilometermeter is above 300Km. It's a stretch and as we've booked accommodation ahead, it's likely a punishment we must suck up — and enjoy! Preparations Mrs G has been busy with bookings and administrations while Sherbert and I have been through their 20,000Km service. All's done except the coolant: I just didn't get around to it in time. We'll address that on our return if there's any cooling system left after baking on the Spanish plains. The highlight has to be experiencing the eclipse. We've not finalised on where to view it from and we'll seek local knowledge when we're in the area. We've a day to explore and may head further north and west with a pic...
