It's worth investing a little time with some emery cloth (wet and dry paper) on those down pipes before fitting. I have recently done this on my Bonnie with near new outcome. I suggest 400 grade to begin with, then move to 800, for a finer finish and finally use Solvol Autosol to polish to a great near new finish. Trust me on this. Well worth it.

Unbelievably I was riding my Sportster in this on Friday. Was heading north to Grantham for a weekend rally. Got 25 miles into North Essex and was forced to turn back due to flooding. I was wearing goretex riding jacket and trousers, and both were soaked all the way through the lining. The best waterproofs I’ve found are my 2 piece goretex British military issue. I prefer 2 piece as a lot of times I just wear the over trousers to deflect road spray

"Going To Need A Bigger Boat"... Well Done for not panicking or stopping whilst driving through the floods, the best clothing decision I have heard you make for wet weather is the one piece suit, a HGV tanker driver gave me his suit 45 years ago and I have used them ever since, they only cost £45.00 from most motorcycle dealers, be careful buying online, you really need to try them on over your normal riding gear otherwise they can be very uncomfortable and split,... Good Luck with the exhaust fitting,...OAP Living The Dream, Wales UK.

Hi Freddie, As always a very enjoyable video... A thought about your Triumphs Tank.. If it was me doing the "re badge" then the first thing I would do is to ONLY remover the T and the H from the Lacquered Triumph emblem! Then see if the stick on badge covers what is left (which I think it will). That's would save you a LOT of work and avoid potential Tank damage.. Place the tank badge where it needs to go (Look at the curvature and that will show you), then see what you actually need to remove.

Freddie - if you spent less money on corporate coffees and silly clothes you would be able to buy decent parts for your motorcycle and maintain it properly. Those downpipes will never clean up, and the silencers will do exactly that. Why not get a decent aftermarket system? Forget the Millets suit - waterproofs designed for walking about in will not keep you dry on a motorcycle. Walkers don't do 70 mph down motorways in the pouring rain. You need something motorcycle specific, preferably Gortex Pro (which is "guaranteed to keep you dry"). Buy cheap and buy twice (or many times!). If you decide to fit the exhaust yourself then use new gaskets (they are a crush type), and a torque wrench at the correct setting. I hope at least some of that is helpful.

The cost of living allowance or COLA is an effort to keep families together and increase retention. The COLA amount varies depending on location and during my years it sometimes covered the cost in living in civilian areas when military housing was not available and sometimes it didn't. American military are stationed all over the world and sometimes the families are not allowed to go or can go only if the military member covers 100% of the cost. I've had assignments where I've had to cover the whole cost, others where the COLA left me covering $1000 per month out of pocket. Still others where military housing was available and some where the COLA covered the entire rent. During a 20+ year career I expect a military members will see all four scenarios.

In the early 80's, i was stationed at Moffett Field, located in the Bay Area (Not far from San Francisco). At first, I stayed in the barracks, then as I promoted, I moved off base, in which the govt paid a portion. As you probably know, The San Francisco Bay Area is if not the most expensive place to live in the US, it's surely got to be second place, maybe in comparison to New York somewhere.

Remember to get the exhaust muffler gaskets or you will have gas leaking out where the pipes connect to the muffler Freddie. They may already be there inside the connecting section on the muffler but make sure it is, would not be surprised if the breakers removed all the old gaskets and seals. You should probably also replace your exhaust header gaskets as well ( there's a gasket that seals the pipes to the engine exhaust manifold) they should be replaced whenever you install a new exhaust esp if its old. These gaskets should not be nearly as hard to find as your engine head gasket btw.

*My first motorcycle task was replacing slip-ons (silencers) on a Harley.* I had never put a wrench to a bike before that. Over a decade has passed and these have not fallen off.

If you have a thing for mummified cats have a look at the Mill Hotel in Sudbury before you leave Suffolk. Its in the reception area in the floor, just where it was found when the Mill was renovated. If you like Bury i think you would like Sudbury too. Youve been to Long Melford, its literally 2 minutes from there!

Can use autosol to polish yr chrome mufflers. You may find them very quiet as I have the same. Having a new set of mufflers made for my Bonneville ATM. Less restrictive with no internal catalytic converter

This is one of your best videos yet! I know Quadlock is a sponsor but you aren’t using one in the Fiat. After using Quadlock for years I have thrown them out. I have switched to Peak Design. The motorcycle mount has built in anti vibration. The case is incredibly thin. The car mount is only a strong magnet, no lock like the bike one has. When I got it I literally threw my phone at the mount and it clamped itself on. It is truly one handed on and off and even more secure than a Quadlock. They might consider sponsorship if you tell them you’re sponsored by Quadlock.
