General / Re: EU in or out ?
« on: 17 February 2016, 05:08:27 pm »
the problem with the EU is it allows opt outs/preferential treatment/do what the foc u like to different countries, which imo makes a mockery of the union bit.
also Brussels, an unelected body of beaureaucrats get to tell us that our law/actions/measures are illegal.
i get to do a fair bit of driving abroad and i have to know all the differing legislations in each country i go to, and i know that johnny foreigner sees us as an easy target.
the schengen agreement..........it was like that before the EU, i know because i was there.
the dublin regulations. if this was enforced there would be no migrant camps in calais.
unfortunately refugees are being used as political levy and the EU want to spread them around a bit. well if the EU hadnt been in such a hurry to accept Turkey, Greece (well thought out that one), Estonia, Romania then there would be an aid buffer zone, but now they are just pouring into europe.
regarding trade, every country is out for itself, as an example if Germany got arsey with us if we leave, how does an 30% import duty on VW/BMW/Merc sound. Remember the BSE scare and the 3 year illegal ban on beef from the french. imo once we are out new protocols will very quickly put into place regarding trade.
Don't get me wrong, i love Europe, but hate the EU.
Finally, we aren't european, we're british, we fought to stay that way and to allow countries in europe to keep their identities, and yet now watch them throw it all away for a CAP handout and a new bypass.

Can anybody else say if that calculator is any good? I put in my figures (street riding, 88Kgs) and it is suggesting 1Kg/mm front and 15Kg/mm  :eek :eek :eek :eek :eek :eek rear. Stock springs are  0.8Kg/mm front and 7.6Kg/mm rear, and the strongest rear they do is only 11.6Kg/mm


this is what you're looking for in a rear iirc.
for 88kg you really need 9 or 9.5nm fronts and 475-525 ft/lb shock spring depending on how often you go 2 up

15kg/mm.............only if you're driving a Foden!!!!!!!!!!

I have showbox on my phone. Once I have downloaded a film I simply move it to my sd card. I don't think there is any other way, but it's not brain surgery.

does it sound like a servo cycling when you turn it on. once it's on, you will hear a minute amount of motor noise as it holds a neutral position.

the PC5 can store 3(?) different maps, but i would imagine once you have the optimum set up, you wouldn't need to change. i would have thought fitting the R ecu (150hp)would have been your first thing to do!

They opened up a large 24hr gym just over a year ago right on the corner of the road that i live on.


I walk past it on the way to the pub.  :b

little steps, no need to rush into it. glad to see you've stopped driving there ;)

« on: 04 February 2016, 05:03:37 pm »
Decided to lose a bit of weight this year so have joined a gym. They offer a personalised appraisal of just how unhealthy you are and suggest a way of achieving your goals. So anyway I had my MOT  today and my BMI says I'm verging on morbidly obese, however I only have 16% body fat which for someone my age is right at the bottom of the healthy range.
RHR of 50 and a recovery time of 2 mins from 75% mhr.
Apparently I just need to stop being so lazy.
30lbs to go.

If you want a challenge, then c90/innova route is a good choice.
However, if you want to enjoy the ride then a big tank drz400/xtz660/xr would be a better choice and reliable and easily fixable.
40mph gets very boring after 2 hrs.
Thailand / Vietnam / Oz/ NZ are bike friendly awesome places to explore.
Try fixing the marriage first tho'
