Cool

Kawasaki with Carb Ice problems was the GTR1000/ZX10 (same engine).They got round the problem by warming the carb up with exhaust heat by a simple mod that also reduced the BHP by quite a bit, didn't understand why at the time (I had a GTR 1000)
but when I sold the bike to get my PPL all was revealed!.
By the way, as an LUFC fan, can anyone tell me if a UK 'airline' flies direct into La Coruna in Northern Spain?.
Dont fancy flying down to Biarritz and turning right to La Coruna at 110kts!(and I certainly wont be routing 'direct' over Biscay with one engine).
Always wondered where Deportivo La Coruna were based, now I know I wish I didnt!.
