Spray-on mud: the ultimate accessory for city 4x4 drivers | Science | The Guardian

I promise not to hijack this thread any longer, just for Ted's and my puerile merriment.:donatello: (I'm sure one or 2 anoraks are ready to hop on their haut cheval...)

A constructive comment: Looks the part, but fuel tank looks pants/too small.

No clutch lever, so dual-clutch transmission?
That would take some getting used to.
​2015 Honda Africa Twin: Finally An ADV Bike Built For Dirt

​2015 Honda Africa Twin: Finally An ADV Bike Built For Dirt bit more from Wes Siler

Not sure I agree with him on what an 'adventure bike' is.
His comments (in the comments section, not the article) imply that the bike has to be big to do any serious touring.
Things like a 650 or 690cc being little (even though plenty of people have gone round the world on 250 or smaller), XR not being an adventure bike (it sure can be if you want it to) and need to bring 'your wife and camping gear and spare fuel and water' (I leave my wife and fuel can at home and only cary a liter or 2 of water) make me wonder why kind of adventuring he does.
Hopefully, the new AT will be capable of more adventure than crossing a gravel parking lot!

From what I gather the HRC team have been involved in the testing using mules made to look like the rally bike.

Well it looks like something they could have just built overnight, to ride this ´wave´ of rumours...

BTW, has it been mentioned anywhere at all BY HONDA, that this "prototype", IF it will become a production model(?), will actually be called "Africa Twin"??

No, but I know from someone at Honda that they are making a new Africa Twin and that prototypes have been made. The promotional video puts a lot of emphasis on the Africa Twin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-gXpyjwGgg

Parallel twins just generally fail to excite me. Yes, they may work very well, could even have definite advantages for certain purposes, and I know this is mostly a matter of personal preference .............. but still: ´Africa Twin´, and with an engine, that´s not a v-twin?? You´ve got to be kidding, right??

Then again, it looked like they can still change just about everything on that “concept bike”... :rofl:

That video is brilliant.. :thumbup1:

Yep, have to agree. Honda is supreme when it comes to advertising. More examples:

The Impossible Dream

"Hands"

The Cog

And, more recently, a take on an advertising technique, the like of which I’ve never seen before: The Other Side
[Don't forget to press / toggle the 'R' key on your keyboard to see 'the other side']

The closest (motorcycle-related) advert I’ve can think of that’s ‘up there’ and comparable to Honda’s productions is, The Commercial that Made Taiwan Cry .. in just three minutes.

All bloody brilliant.

Indeed. They are suburb works of animation and writing. :thumbup1:

Captivating.

Da kwalitie off you're superb writin Ingleesh coninyous too imprez Ted.:rofl:

What do you call a scouser in a suburban semi? The burglar...:smartass:

Behave laaaaaaaa....

Me and Stan. Or is that Stan and I ???

Anyway. We were talking about winding you up on the hubb with terrible grammar and spelling since finding out it's one of your pet hates haha bier

And for me it comes so naturally. :rofl:

I don't usually give a toss about people's grasp of English grammar and vocabulary. For lots on the HUBB, like you and Stan :D (and all Americans(*) ), I appreciate it's not your first language. Being a mod I have to read everything: The good/normal stuff (99.9%) and the utter garbage (0.1%). When the garbage is also badly written and punctuated... :taz:

(* = attempt at humour... Feel free not to take offence :thumbup1: )
