I'm virtually teetotal but I accept chocolate Hobnobs..
If you want to ditch the pod(s) again all you have to do is find a location with still air for the ends of the pipes. I think others have done it, but I don't run carbs anymore, so I can't suggest a place.
You will do much worse than riding out to meet the North-West gang, they're a nice bunch as mis-fits go..
