Morning all. It’s a beautiful day; even for you Acey :-)
Morning. I’ve only just woked up. That’s half the day gone. Garden chores today. First mow of the year for starters.

True dat, eezie! Just got back from a little jaunt on the toy. Nearly wore two thermal jumpers and my electric gloves today. Glad I didn't.
Good afternoon all. Very sad to not be out riding today😓
Good afternoon. Saw so may bikes on the roads today, is it summer already?
Today’s not-quite-so-stupid-I-hope question, I read somewhere it is bad for the [little and slow] bike to ride with the throttle fully open in top gear. Why?
I was out riding with 180 of my mates- ended up at Popham Airfield for lunch and plane-lookee.
Weather was tremendous.
… oh and I like how Martin is now getting called ‘Acey’.
Good work, team!

In answer to your question it’s bad because you’re probably speeding excessively

We refuelled near the A3- but we met up in Hayes.

I think it’s just because your basically redlining the engine for long periods of time and that’s not great for them.

If only! I did include that it was about "little and slow" bikes in the question, but for some reason that part is only visible when quoting it to reply.
(Jay, anything typed between square brackets is not being displayed.)
With plenty of revs still available before the redline though I just cannot see how it would be a problem.
It must have been you lot then. Was wondering what was that about when I went by.
