So what you guys are saying is that there seems to be no fully legal and legitimate way of travelling Europe or the world? Not without returning to the uk to update the MOT annually?

One thing I've noticed with expeds is they are NOISY! Every time I'm camped next to someone with an exped it sounds like a fight between Michelin's Bibendum and a tyre factory!

Re: the cheap airbeds ie the Hi-Gear from Go Outdoors. The gf and I purchased 2 for our France trip and both started leaking, 1 after 4 nights the other after about 7. While in France, in the pouring rain finding the leaks proved impossible, even with the use of a campsite's swimming pool! It put us...

I like the idea about how fast it is to inflate, it uses the venturi principal. I was wondering if anyone else has owned one as it is quite expensive. I would like to know if it is worth the investment and how long it lasts.

PS...I know my CBF125 only has one throttle body and one injector. Yep, I'm sure of that. For cetain. Maybe. Probably. Perhaps.

Thanks V_King and puppycharmer. I honestly was labouring under the impression that the NC only had one injector as it only has one throttle body. I'll look into that as my mate has one. I am not yet convinced about the number of throttle bodies either as the cutaway could be misleading. There's only...
