    New tyre time

    blakeatron replied to Pete's topic in Pitstop

    Ive got the bridgestone battlax - i want to say bt021 but not sure. It has been fantastic in all conditions and I have easily covered 6000 miles on varied roads and weathers and it is now only starting to wear a bit quicker - maybe another 1.5k left in it, fingers crossed! They are also not really showing signs of squaring off too much, even after a non stop 400mile motorway munch on tuesday. I also understand the sticky feeling - it took the paint of my workshop floor....

    Albeit I have only ridden a brand new rr and my older fs - apart from the riding position you will not notice a power difference in general fast road riding. Dragolith has a standard f - and he is more than happy with his, I just prefer the looks of the fs

    August is a busy month for me - but might be able to do it with enough notice, definately not the 1st though. Also will depend if i survive my 1000mile trip next weekend

    9.30 seems ok, see if anyone else is coming - simon has a bit of a treck to get to devils if he comes I remember doing something very similar - into a right too hot, back brake, front brake, grass, oh sh!t, sh!t, sh!t road, keep going. Breath and learn!
  14. blakeatron
    Sounds good - but I dont want to do the grass verge detour..... Meet at devils? Anytime after 9am
  15. blakeatron
    Sounds like a great run - but cant tomorow or the 27th. 5th sounds ok though Should have my satnav by then too....

    With a 2 pack paint there is a posibility of solvent seperation - but you would be very unlucky for this to happen. However the correct plastic primer will prevent the solvents reaching the original 'skin' of the lid. A primer is not just a key for paint it is also the first barrier protection. Rattle cans like they sell in halfrauds are a cellulose based precatalysed paint that dont seperate once applied.

    Well just ordered a tomtom rider - and it comes with a basic scala so I am happy for now. Sent the Garmin back as it was a rubbish!

    Sorry I am going to go against the grain here - painting a lid is fine as long as it is done properly. If you were to careful 'scruff' the original finish (NOT REMOVE THE PAINT) then use a decent plastic primer, lightly mist coat a colour and then clearcoat - the original palstic/fibreglass would not actually be touched by the new paint. And I have a lot of experience in painting before anyone starts BUT personally I would not do it.

    Going on a longish trip away and need a bit more room than my trusty Kriega r25 rucksack can muster. Tried a tankbag but didn't like it and couldn't see the satnav - so tailpack it is! It only needs to hold a pair of trainers and walking boots - so being chuffed with my Kriega I was instantly drawn to their tailpack- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... %26otn%3D2 But has anybody else got one to consider?
  20. blakeatron
    And it is what Dan recomended too - scala q2 it is!

    My local car parts store manager and good friend rang me today and said they were getting the new Garmin's in and did I want the last one of the old 500's. I wasn't too sure but when he offered it to me for £250 with a carkit and 12month warranty - I got it he is dropping it off on sunday! Anyway now I need a bluetooth earpiece thing - any recomendations? I normally wear the in-ear spongy earplugs and so was wondering if there was anything I could get and still use the earplugs?

  23. blakeatron
