Re: Two guys, two Alfa Romeo Spiders, several ferries - A road trip in UK A very inspiring travelogue, it is very hard to find like minded travel mates, some of them are obsessed with the internet, some of them photography and a majority of the rest, both! No one really cares much about machines and driving/riding them anymore.
I used to ride a bit with my childhood friend, who frankly is a wuss on so many levels, I once picked him up after riding 400 km's on a working day(read was in class till noon) and then we rode doubles on my Bajaj Discover 100 4G for the remaining 400 km's journey home, I usually do the whole 800 km's in around 12~15 hours depending on the route and mood, but this time it took me around 24+ hours, my boy wanted to take a break every now and then, we took so many breaks that during the last leg of the ride I started loosing consciousness while riding the motorcycle, for real!
Sorry for the rant but now I guess you know how much I envy the bond you and Peter share.
Hope someday I'll meet someone like minded, who knows why "a minute wasted off the saddle is a mile more on the highway!"
A few questions I have to ask you is how you prevent the windscreen from fogging? After going through your travelogue I've started driving with the windows down for some odd reason it puts me at ease. But when it rains the windscreen starts fogging up from the inside, what would you do when this happens? Do you simply turn the heat Up and change the fans to defogging mode? And what settings do you keep your fan/air controls in?
The fogging is not super bad as with all the windows up and the AC off, but I can still wipe the fog off with my finger. Though the fan's are ON I drive with the AC OFF, am I doing anything wrong here?
I'm sorry for the noob'ish questions but I seldom drive and my exposure to cars are very less compared to the average Bhpian.
Thanks and Cheers,
