World Superbikes started the early hours of this morning with practice and Q1.

Good luck to all the Brits and I am looking forward to spending Sunday in front of the TV watching some good racing.

Also when World Superbikes starts the Spring isn't far behind

Unbelievable! I got a NIP for supposedly doing 35 in a 30 and I know it's incorrect so I have challenged it. I knew the 'cash cows' were out on the road so pootled along under the speed limit in the car. 25 minutes earlier I had been on that road giving my daughter a driving lesson so I knew where they were. To be fair I never speed in built up areas. My missus was in the car with me and we were actually discussing the 'cash cows' being on the roadside at this time of year so I was purposely watching my speed, as was she, so we both know I was sitting on 30.

I have requested the video/photographic evidence and asked to see the callibration certificates for the equipment. I suspect they will ignore my request and pretend they never got it. There is no way I was speeding and they shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.

Hi all,
I've passed my test for a month or so now and thought I'd admit that I've already bought my second helmet.


I got a Caberg V2 407 in gun metal and a Caberg Duke in Matt Black.  Both Sharp 5* FWIW but I don't think they have any track certifications (not that I'm planning any)


Just thought I'd let you know that they seem pretty well made and I'm loving the flip front for refuelling and the pinlock for the antifog.  I've got a foggy for the v2 407 but it isn't a patch on the Duke.  The Duke is tight but really comfortable.


I looked at the Shoei Qwest too but it didn't seem to fit particularly well in spite of the great reputation.


Anyone else want to share their thoughts on lids ?

Hi Everyone,

We're organising a group buy for silicone kits to replace the 9 coolant hoses on the FZS600. Some of you may know about this already but this post is to let others know who might have missed the other thread. We now have a price for the kits and the company are just waiting for me to confirm there are at least ten orders before they begin the production process.

There is more info here, the main update is on page 5: http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,6189.100.html

If you are interested in a kit please follow the instruction in my post on page 5. We are getting a considerable discount for this group buy so now is the best time to get one  8)

Thanks for your time,

Chris

Passed me DAS in September last year so new to biking and the forum. got a 04 reg FZ6 Fazer a week before my test so luckily i passed first time. it come with scorpion exhaus, crash bobbins and top box and iv put some hot grips on aswell.
Got my first trackday booked for next month at cadwell park then donington the week after so any advice on tyre pressure and not crashing will be good.
Fazer Dave.

Evening

Does anyone have the left and right switchgear an early FZS1000.

My 2005 is missing the headlight, hazard and flash switches and I want to put those functions back on my bike.

ta.

Need some E-bay advice

I put my first 2 items on ebay for sale. They are 2 items of clothing which i stupidly set to start bidding at 99p(why!!) i cant let them sell for under about £12...i was an idiot to strat the bidding at 99p (but it was free to do that  :rolleyes )

So....can some one i know bid on my stuff, and if he wins just not pay me? can he just leave some feed back saying he collected it and payed me rather than using PayPal. ive set payment as PayPal and delivery as 2nd class economy.

i aint got a clue what im doing  :'(

(Heads up - im going to be selling me serviced fazer shock with k-tech spring soon)

Curious.....


I've purchased one of these:

I'm wondering if I wire up a plug to a battery charger if this will trickle charge using the socket as a power input rather than an output ?


Or should I get something like the following:

I'm worried about water ingress in to the connector, but with my new heated grips, usb plugs and alarm I want to keep the battery topped up.

Thinking of one of these (after adding an inline fuse holder) to a microUSB plug for a satnav.


Opinions ?
