Are they not asking for a Kickback? http://guide.iacrc.org/potential-scheme-bribes-and-kickbacks/

Snow foam brand? I use this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SNOW-FOAM-WASH-N-WAX-25-LITRES-OVER-30-OFF-/321813182415?hash=item4aed8f77cf:g:r3gAAOSwjVVVr0Gx Then there are better out there, it becomes a price thing.... Then it might be an applicator thing, some one will be along with more knowledge than me.... As for where EVERY where...

I jet wash both of my bike, I'll effects so far. On the FZ6 the neutral indicator stays on until bike has dried, On the Trophy the immobiliser light comes on, Neither seems to affect use, using both bikes in all but icy, snowy weather I would rather they cut out on jet washing than on a wet day on the road... Then again my jet wash is a cheap low pressure variety. I should also take the time to sing the virtues of snow foam. Spray on wait 5 minutes and wash off...

Ah but is she wearing them when you use them on your toys?

If I really have to: Jet Wash: Possibly including some of this: Probably finishing like this (or with jet wash): http://www.sportbikes.net/forums/attachments/new-york/133532d1186966340-another-li-bikini-bike-wash-dsc01214.jpg Washing: http://images2.laweekly.com/imager/sons-of-anarchy-bikini-bike-wash/u/original/5031363/9972776.0.jpg Maybe followed by a gentle bit of this: http://www.ihsturgis.com/gallery/getimage.aspx?image_id=232 Probably finishing like this: http://www.zrxoa.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=241550&d=1467665375 Dry Cleaning: In all certainty I am not certain how it works but they seem to be demonstrating below... http://i53.tinypic.com/r9li6b.jpg http://picture-cdn.wheretoget.it/ysz85d-l-610x610-swimwear-bikini-bathers-bathingsuit-milkmaid-milk+goat-deus+bike-custome+bikes-motorbike-bali-rock+roll-spikes-island+babe-jeffrey+campbell.jpg I hope that helps...

Just out of interest...

Maybe because you dont want your boss (or X wife, or other half) to read that you are thinking you can get off work early friday and get a run on the bike, who's joining you? Then when there is a wedding ride on you want to invite anyone who can/ wants to come to make the special day more special...

I would be concerned about leaving any desirable bike (what ever that is) in the same place regularly... One of my bikes has dint in tank and scratches on an engine case and a couple of other bits so I think that helps... The other I do not take to the same place to often, neither are high value. If I was parking high value in the same place regularly it would be chain (preferably to ground anchor/ lamppost etc) disk locks, one of those brake locks between handlebar and brake (even if they are not good it will stop me riding off with disc locks on). Not certain I would worry to much about quality as if they are determined they will get by anything...

Facebook...

FB groups are a funny thing... I seem to of found myself Admining a couple... One local community group I inherited you know when you are getting into a community when you start a post with "Its a busy week in the village this week" . That one has got me a couple of random threats , reported to the police and a couple of shamed faces when they realised I am admin . Then there is the closed group I started to arrange mid week rideouts, "closed for those that are riding when they should be working" (and to keep mine and a couple of other X wifes spying).... There are a couple of others (closed for various reasons) I have been asked to assist/ co admin. There is always some one offering helpful advice, telling you you can do it better or wanting to be admin. The worst are the small time businesses/ local interests trying to push there business/ events 24/ 7. If your event or whatever is the main focus of the last 10 posts and only 3 people are going and no one has liked since your first post then you might be trying to hard. First I delete posts, then send polite reminder finally block. So far I have blocked a motorcycle school, a care home, a childs play group, several activists type people and a local councillor... Plus the usual sunglass sales etc, oh and did you know if you join a group can block the admin so they cannot see what your posting in your own group? So ideally you you should have a spy that is not your friend to keep an eye on things. Well the long and short of it the problem with FB and closed groups is if you make an event you cannot share it... So with something's coming up we wanted to share I started yet another group for creating public events... The group states "No need to join the group other than to make events that can be shared outside closed groups or across multiple groups..." yet people keep joining. Some off the people are people I don't know who dont live locally, I am curious to see how big the group will grow.

Do you need waterproof or just warm? Waterproof I would say Gortex every time, if to be used for long journeys I would then say a double cuff (Inner cuff goes stops water running down into glove, outer cuff goes outside and stops water running up your sleeve) a PITa to put on but once on your dry... Not a cheap option but worth it... Another thought is heated grips, these need not be expensive if you dont mind fitting a relay or can remember to turn them off. I am running on a set of these the last 3 day 450 mile tour and my hands where not cold... https://www.rydestore.com/ryde-variable-temperaturee-heated-motorcycle-grips.html

Regardless of the legal side I have some sympathy for the OP... I nearly came a cropper here: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.8939644,-1.1884868,3a,75y,190.63h,33.86t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1spzzRIVGEXJCtkTpomJ-w-w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1 It was dark, I did not know the road I believe I was below the 30mph limit. I saw the traffic calming and the derestricted sign ahead.. I just did not see the speed bump Some traffic calming measures really need to be thought about more, there are a few places where 2 inconsiderately parked cars cause grid lock.... Short humps like yours with a PIllion are not good to the bottom of my trophy, there are places we dont go now because of speed humps Worse thing it does not stop the ar*eholes

We're gonna need written statements from all those other people stating the exact time and date you were at said location, then there will be a detailed investigation on local CCTV and an appeal for 3rd party witnesses to back up your claim of being at said location this year Actually probably easier than you would think... There are a few of us who do a similar tagging thing down here, this year its museums and GoG actually managed to choose the same place. So that photo is actually for another Tag, The reason for the group ride.... We score double points for a photo with 3 or more bikes :D the number of group rides has increased! As for going back actually I probably will its meant to be a worth whilst museum to visit....

OK I stuffed up.... I was at a tag and did not include my number will this be accepted (my Trophy and good lady on the right)... http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u654/onesea/2017%20tags/20170110_153409_zpsswwkjo2m.jpg

If you have the option choose the days you travel. Ie weather looking cold but dry this weekend, Thursday how ever they are forecasting "Thundersnow" (wtf daily mirror for you), so I would think is not a good day to travel. As for routing is only 3-4 hours, make a day of it. For me I would leave after rush hour. Take a break just before or on M25 circumnavigate London, pick an a road north and take a break. Then enjoy the ride up stopping as and when you want as your nearly there then. Google Maps can be a great help in this as you can drag the route around seeing which road is quicker and how long a journey will take...

I like the idea of rear view Camera particularly when with pillion, seeing round the pillion can sometimes find challenging. I dont want to loose the mirrors, just additional information. I use find my phone as SatNav meaning I can plan routes over coffee stops..

Ok guys I may well update this thread as I go and ask more... A bit of googling, problem resolved by using the software mentioned in this link: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1726154/format-64gb-card-exfat-fat32.html This link within: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm I THINK it has given me 64 gig memory in the device there maybe knock on effects... SO far I am impressed for about £30 wifi to my phone its been driven around on my daughters remote control car to great success

The device states it can only handle a 32 gig card, not certain the exact issue. Could be processing power of the unit. I believe the issue is processing power and probably the FAT32 formatting thing?

I have just bought a action cam. SJ7000 Wifi all seems to work but it requires a 32 gig memory card and I only have a 64.. Can I format down??? I am sure there are some computer wise people out there who can say.... Iam sure there will be more questions to ask on this...

Don't joke I have been on a forum when that happened. An accident hit headline news. All the evidence was there but was a couple of years later when due to some coincidence they worked out the guy who died had been a forumite... It cast quite a cloud...

Cheapest particularly if your phone is waterproof, I have 1 on each bike and cannot fault them... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/131820803614?lpid=122&chn=ps&adgroupid=42022636070&rlsatarget=pla-339941838437&adtype=pla&poi=&googleloc=1006900&device=c&campaignid=726760769&crdt=0

I won't either, which is why I don't think I need the 15 rider capabilities of the Packtalk! However someone just offered me a Cardo G4 for £50, which is probably a sensible option for just starting out, and leaves more money for other shiny new things. For me Packtalk was more about the Dual audio streaming side of it... Plus it was cheaper at the time than Smart Pack, the need to talk to 15 people no but from talking to no one I have been up to 4 a couple of times. Does it enhance your ride yes, with the right people.

Not arguing on that... Sadly though most motorbike rideouts and social events etc are best found by facebook. You dont need to share you life but an account, I would suggest a picture of a motorbike (easy way into closed motorbike groups). Then lock your account down to hide as much as it can and that you can do quite well. At which point you can see whats going on and choose where you go to.

For me I have found FZ6 forums are pretty much dead... For the trophy there is a great group on FB today I did 150 miles to go and see one on what was meant to be a big group ride but turned out a bit smaller due to weather.... They didnt care who turns up and as long as its interesting it can be posted in the group....
