Over heating
« on: December 04, 2012, 03:26:17 PM »
 >:( On a trip to St.Lawerence from Townsville my ST over heated, the temp guage was out but the fan burnt out, nearly melted the bike! Air temp on the road was about 40C which did not help! Oh, and I was nearly collected by a semi with horse at Koumali, it tried to overtake me on the inside of a one lane highway!

Ouch.

I guess a thorough going over is needed.

I have been dealing with Bernie since 1974 and have bought at least 12 bikes from him.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
