General / GoPro helmet fixings
« on: 12 February 2014, 04:27:00 pm »
Hi
 
i want to add some GoPro sticky pads to my Airoh S4 helmet which i use for off roading. i want to add one on the side and one directly on the top.
 
But the curved pads supplied with the GoPro arent quite the right curve? am i missing something here?
 
due to the curve of the sticky pad being a tiny bit steeper than the curve on the helmet, it means that the whole surface of the sticky pad doesnt come into contact with the helmet.
 
any ideas?

Thanks guys

As for pointing - i'm butting the slabs up then brushing in a dry mix later on.

found some tarp and some blankets in the shed earlier. The problem i have though is the bloody rain, i dont want to be laying onto wet ground. Every time it dries up.....it then just rains again!!!! god bless the UK  ;)

Cheers

General / Patio laying
« on: 01 November 2013, 03:47:43 pm »
Hi guys

Ive half layed the 2nd patio in my garden (its a three tiered steep garden). i layed half of it using 600X600 Ryton Riven slabs on a strong wet bed (full bed, not spots)

I then hurt my back and couldn't lay any more. Then i hurt my ankle...so couldn't carry on with it.  :rolleyes   the last 2 weeks have been wet and just as it was starting to dry up....its rained again!

My problem: well its getting colder, cant be that far off frosts now. I want to lay the rest when the ground has dried out, but mortar doesnt really like frost does it??? ive done bits of repair work in winter before and always covered the work with blankets / plastic sheeting to protect the the mortar from the frost.

I know you can get additives for the mortar & the whole UK building trade doesn't stop for winter. So is it a case of using these additives in the mortar and covering the patio up once laid or are there other tricks that i'm missing???

Thanks

what about this one? (yeah..im shameless  :)  )
 
http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,10169.0.html
 
I wouldnt be too bothered about mileage. i used to never consider bikes over 15K (inc when i bought my fazer) as i used to consider it high mileage. Now im looking at bikes 30 - 60K, at 30K a lot of engines are in there stride.

« on: 01 October 2013, 08:07:47 am »
even on my own i dont really thrash bikes, im quite a sedate rider. i just think an FJR would be great two up, a real mile muncher.
 
Thing is an 04 (ish) FJR with around 30K on the clock is nearly double the price of what i would get for my fazer (04 31k).

General / FJR's
« on: 30 September 2013, 10:00:31 am »
Hi

i adore my Fazer and have spent a fair amount of money and time looking after her. But...it doesn't quite do what i want. :( The problem is im 6'4" and my Mrs is 5'10", the fazer is just that tiny bit too small. Ive had the bike 6 years and tried different bars + built up seat but i can never seem to find the right siting position?? (up right, leant down e.t.c)

I'm a fan of Yamaha as i think they're well built, reliable and value for money (as i don't have a lot of a cash!).

SO....what do people think of FJR's (new and old)? in a bike i always look for simplicity and running costs, again it goes back to the fact that i'm not flush with cash. i need to be able to maintain the bike my self without breaking the bank.

I know i could go on the FJR site but i will get a bit of a biased opinion.

Thanks

Hi
 
Im going to be staying on the west side on the Yorkshire moors soon. I was planning on zigzagging my way towards the moors, touching up on some nice roads then heading back using a different route.
 
Any stand out roads? or towns?
 
Cheers

doh! i meant to say.....im staying on the west side of the DALES. i was planning on riding through the dales, over to the moors, quick spin, then back using a different route.

Sorry  :o

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: MRA touring screen
« on: 15 September 2013, 05:37:14 pm »
You have to try it to get the results.


Very true...its just a bastard when you have to spend £100 on a screen, then it turns out to be no better than what you already have :)

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / MRA touring screen
« on: 13 September 2013, 05:20:46 pm »
Hi

For a long time now i've had the yamaha touring screen on my Thou (it came with the bike). im a tiny bit under 6' 4" and find the screen ok...ish

Im looking at switching to the MRA touring screen (£100!). im running Renthal 758's but with small risers (around 20mm)

Im hoping the bars wont foul the screen on full lock. I'm just trying to weigh up if its worth spending £100 on a screen!?!?!.....what do you reckon?

Hi
 
 Im trying to find a campsite near the Settle area in North yorkshire...but...i want somewhere that allows fires.
 
 I've found a few but there further up, north of Hawes and ideally we need to be in or around Settle. Any ideas?
