  4. Hello, do you get issues with dust in the filters, riding in those conditions?

  5. Hi, not really, I just clean them out more often. The main problem with dust is that it gets behind everything and in the smallest places and is real pain to clean!

  7. I could well imagine! Still tyres and roads must be grippy in that heat.

  10. I’ve been to Bahrain many times, I like it a lot! Usually stayed in the Amwaj islands in the north. Some crazy aggressive drivers though…

  14. Yes and no.... If its a windy, its a bit sketch. Lots of dust around. However, if its clear and clean, mama mia. Super sticky.

  15. We tend to ride early and weekends. Ive commuted a bit on the 749 but its not exactly made for it, esp in 40 degrees.
