OK, this should be good ...
Popcorn, anyone?
Na no problem, it's just a matter of ability to read the thread title, just shows they really want a fazer, as there fz1's have no identity
(note smiley as said in jest )
5 water 1 pva,
and to be fair effective, but any heavy foot traffic and im not sure how long it would last !
but at the cost who would care ! so you ware though in a small area so what
I used PVA glue ,mixed with water. Soakes in and sets. Did a great job in my garage
The irony is that if say half the expected attendance went along the show would probably be dropped because it wasn’t commercially viable..
OR Less attendance would drive the price of the tickets up to cover costs. Then you would have manufacturers pulling out because the cost would outweigh the benefit of taking all those bikes to a show and paying for staff etc.
On a side note as much as I love my Fazer and use it as often as I can I draw the line at trying to use it when I need to do the weekly shop or there is a layer of snow on the ground.
Hang on.. I enjoy driving my car as well!! Does this make me double wrong??? I may have to sell both and see about getting a helicopter licence.
I think that you can't use this contraption for anything.
The reason is that every car jack I've ever used and own all have a lable stating that they are for lifting the vehicle to a safe height to insert permenant jacks only and the vehicle should not be worked on whilst supported only by the trolley jack.
Unless this lift has some way of fixing it in position after it is raised by the trolley jack I wouldn't want to use it.
I agree with you, I had not looked closely enough to notice that this bench did not have a locking mechanism to lock in place once it is at the required height.
apart from my hobby of motorcycling, i also enjoy walking, perhaps i will walk the 100 miles to the nec to avoid upsetting anyone.
I have a pair of these gloves, like them a lot.How long have you had them, Rich?
Just wondering 'cos I've never had anything Goretex that's remained waterproof for more than the first few downpours.
Ive got a schuberth s2 like pat, nice and quiet, but............................
Pat-you had any issues with it yet?, i had a pressure point right in the centre of my forehead at the hair line, absolutely excrutiating, was only starting to hurt after 50 miles then i was soon stopping to rip it off or grabbing the chin piece and wiggling to try release the pressure,
Trouble is it was perfectly comfy in the shop plus on small runs,
In the end i think it has finally sorted itself out and just needed wearing in but took about 1000 miles to do so
But i havent had a big run yet to test it out.fingers crossed coz it was focin expensive!
& that is the best helmet I've ever worn, but then again it is £150 more expensive! So I really only use the Shoei around town these days, or if I need to use my Scala bluetooth headset, as due to the position of the sun visor control, that will only mount on the S2 if you glue it on.Tank lining is almost universal in the classic bike world and there are lots of products out there for this purpose. The problem is the ethanol in modern fuel damages older type linings, removing them and clogging up the fuel system.
Modern alternative linings are intended to fix that, but should the biofuel/ethanol content added to petrol increase from the current level of around 5% to the American levels of 10% then we're possibly back to square one. Even modern bikes are affected. Some Ducati's for example have plastic fuel tanks which absorb the ethanol and go soft. This allows them to 'sag' and come off their frame mountings. Ducati's reply is that they don't put the ethanol in the fuel so it's not their problem, and the government will tell you it's not theirs either.
The German's trialled 10% ethanol for a while and were rewarded with mechanical malfunctions galore, as any plastic or rubber components used in the vehicles fuel systems simply dissolved. The best protection is to use an additive in your fuel if laying up the bike, or drain the tank altogether. Prevention is better than cure but the bottom line is your motorcycle was sold to have a finite working life, and the increased ethanol in fuel will just help it along that process that bit quicker.
You will then be forced to cough up for a replacement vehicle, but look on the bright side - you saved a Polar bear.
Can you get a license in another country like ireland ?

KTM plus loads of others including Cosworth make some very nice machines, 30mph 60 mile range with your feet up plenty more if you assist

I tried those cycling shorts, but I just couldn't live with the fact that it felt like you'd shit your pants
The most comfortable bike I've ever had (by a coutry mile) was the FJR1300 (07 model). Never ever had any problems no matter how far I rode in a day. All other bikes have given me trouble on long distance runs.
For me, the problem comes in warm weather and it's not so much numb-bum as pain just below the bum cheeks (don't worry, I won't get any more graphic). I find that the heat from the bike, the ambient temperature and the heavy protective clothing on a vinyl seat all contribute to making me perspire; the end result being that my skin is sticking to my clothes and you get this dragging feeling on your upper thighs as you accellerate and brake. It's that that causes me discomfort.
