General / Re: Down the pub - the thread about nothing and everything

I know nothing about medicine but I would of thought that as you had been taking it for almost 2 weeks then you would have had an "episode" earlier in the course. That not see before bloke in your local sounds suspicious, its a shame that CTV footage has been wiped, but there may be a way to retrieve it, I belive the way digital media is wiped is by just making space available and the original is still there - or something like that.   :book


I don't actually know why i fell, all i've done is narrow it down to all the evidence i can find and i've got it down to primarily having my drink spiked by someone unfamiliar to me who i've never seen before and realistically is also the last person i recall seeing, or secondly that medication i was on was put into play when when i read about the rare but possible side effects.
I can't even rule out that a mixture of both combined sped things up a bit either?


I already knew for a fact that that the CCTV has a one month cycle then copies over itself because i'd asked before many years ago. But this time was simpler because i know a woman who works in head office so just text her and she gave me the exact same response.
I would imagine than in normal circumstance 1 month (4 weeks) is more than enough as if needed they'd usually be contacted over the next few days by either a customer or the police.
In my case no police were involved at all, and i very barely remember the first 4 weeks of hospital in the London brain trauma unit, and was only let out of the next hospital after about 6 weeks. I think it was about 4 to 5 weeks before i could even walk on my own to the toilet so i kind of had more important issues on my mind to deal with.


Right now though, i'm the only person trying to find out the truth, with very little evidence to play with.
I can only have had about 4 pints, i checked the NHS website to make sure alcohol is okay to drink with the meds and it says absolutely fine, but i do only go out on a Saturday so "may" have triggered something for the side effects to kick in?
Without evidence the police literally won't want to know, so i'm not even going to entertain their lack of interest response.

FZS600 Fazer / Re: making the bike faster
« Last post by fazersharp on 24 March 2024, 10:55:22 pm »
If you want to make the 600 go faster then learn how to ride it --if you want to go faster in a straight line then get the 1000 but be prepared for the 600 to be all over you on the bends

No, the breather system is restricted/blocked somehow.  This will cause cutting out but it wouldn't restart, as you've stated it does.

back in the land of the living, no work or hospital ..
bike has been sat on the ramp running for 10 mins without stopping , so, I think the problem has cleared as double or treble the normal cutting out time.
What I have noticed, is , when the filler cap is lifted there is a rush of air, presumably vacuum, is this normal as Ive never had it before or on other bikes..

 I assume any parts that are N.L.A. from the likes of fowlers, as Yamaha now have no stock, are unavailable from Megazip, unless they have there own new old stock of course. Obviously they are listed on the parts lists whether available or not?

For Sale & Wanted / X10 350 i.e. Metallic Grey
« Last post by Gnasher on 23 March 2024, 11:17:06 am »
After what 5ish years, my X10 is up for sale, I'm just not using it and it's a waste, full pictures in the links below. 

The last 4 years it's hardly been used, it was bought as a commuter back in mid 2017.  After 4 months my work location changed and it really wasn't needed, never used through the winter as intended. I just couldn't bring myself to sell just in case and I loved the odd dry summer rides I did on it.  I've done in that time 3670miles, the majority of that in the first year, the average in the last few years is between 500 - 6miles, last year is the 6 to it's MOT and back! It's not been used this year as yet.  The bike was stripped in 2017, all the well known issues were dealt with see my post here with full pictures https://x9ownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=26121.msg283863#msg283863 serviced, Denali horn and HID conversion fitted.  The latter is easily disconnected for MOTs if you're worried or your tester doesn't like them, they will be removed if a new owner doesn't want them.  Rear drive oil level bolt has been replaced see here with pictures https://x9ownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=26888.0

The bike is due a new belt/guides/weights at it's next service (waiting for the service light) all are ready and waiting and will be thrown in.  The bike is stored in a garage, hooked up the a Opimate, it's totally reliable bike, it never fails to start first prod even after many months of non use in the garage.   

The bike was registered 2 July 2012, has covered to date 11136 miles, which is below average for the year, MOT 06 Sept 24, currently SORN, this is a push the button and ride, nothing other than routine serving will need doing.  ULEZ compliant, I've had max 95 mpg with averages of 67mpg motorway/city and 88 mpg long rides on mixture of A and B roads, it's a perfect long haul and commuter in one.  Not many bikes you can don all your riding kit, ride to the coast, remove the riding kit including boots, store it under the seat, walk around in shorts/tee shirt all day, return to the bike get donned up and ride home.  From my research at the time of buying, it's the best maxi scoot available, packed with features, ABS, Traction control, factory fitted immobiliser, illuminated switch gear, too full face helmets will fit under the seat.  The seat is an armchair I've done 5 hours in one go on it.  I was always very anti Maxi scooter until a good friend got one for commuting, suggested I tried it, kicking and screaming I did, couldn't believe how good it was and bought one.  It will see off just about anything up to 40mph off the lights and there's nothing road wise it can't do, extremely stable in cross winds handles very well, not much will get away from you on the twisty's.

I'm now starting to do more adventure/off road stuff, the bike isn't getting or will be used in the foreseeable and it's taking up space.         

The bike is in very good condition, both keys, all paperwork and fully serviced, located in the Melton Mowbray area, looking for £2k ovno.

just had a look at megazip for ignition lock, and it seems that the 02 bike which I have is unavailable but the 03 onwards is available, they have a different part number so the question is will they fit or is it just the wiring thats different. Also has anyone tried getting just the barrel replaced

My cousin who is a nurse said that drink spiking is actually very common these days, even though you don't hear or know much about it. Although saying that you do see the odd info pop up on the news occasionally about it. But then when i've explained to people i know what "may" have happened to me i was quite shocked when 3 or 4 people said they've been spiked before too, but their memory is quite vague about the finer details.


Due to me not been properly seen in hospital until roughly 11 or 12hrs later meant that any drugs that are normally used for this type of thing would've been well out of my system by then, which is why nothing was found.


I asked hospital doctors about a possible stroke or anything similar and they said that was ruled out and nothing found to be untoward.


The other possible explanation is a very 'rare' but very possible strong side effect to a 2 week course of a pill medicine i was taking for a skin rash. I fully understand that virtually all medicines have the leaflet in the pack warning you of stuff that "could" effect you, but if you read them word for word you'd never take any medicine at all out of fear.
But when i read this one it said about a 'serious allergic reaction' and part of it then said Call 999 if "You suddenly become very confused, drowsy or dizzy, or someone faints and cannot be woken up."
Kind of hit the jackpot with that description.
After leaving hospital after 6 weeks i found just one tablet left, and it was dated to be taken on the day i fell.
Never really took any notice about it then but a few weeks ago i was prescribed the same drugs again for the same rash, and after one daily tablet had a banging headache and was bumping into everything when walking around the house. Took another the next morning and same again, banging headache and walking like a pinball.
I reported this verbally and online to my GP to make sure they knew about this.


Another thing i've been suffering with is called BPPV, which is a posh name for vertigo, and according to a consultant i spoke to is a very common issue after a head injury.
Strangely though, after doing my own research i found instruction videos on YouTube on how to get rid of this constant 'unstable' feeling i suffered for ages as soon as i woke up until i went to bed. At a guess i reckon i eventually sorted that out after about 5 days of learning about it, watching videos, and more importantly seeing a picture of what is actually going on and why.
I should've been told about this though, and no doubt many others, if it is a common side effect from a specific injury. But i found out by searching my problems online and mentioning it to the consultant then they just blurted it out as if it was all common knowledge i should've been aware of, but it really isn't.
