  14. Then im doomed already!! I grew up working in a garage with an asbestos roof, my mum had an asbestos ironing board, and at school we used asbestos heat mats in Chemistry lessons.. These days, every day i go to work i stand under an asbestos cement roof of the trin station... Of course asbestos is a hazard, but its also a naturally occurring substance - you are likely breathing it in right now. Given that a very large number of garages were built with asbestos cement roofs, and the comparatively low occurrence of asbestos related illnesses, i would say that contracting lung cancer from doing DIY motorcycle repairs in a garage with an asbestos cement roof is pretty low... but yes, if you do decide to rip the asbestos roof off, wearing some PPE is a good idea!! In one respect you are on the right lines with the low risk but there is still that risk. As I've said before they still don't know if its just the one fibre that causes the problems or many Asbestos is only a real problem if its damaged or your work involves disturbing it As for asbestos being naturally occurring and your suggestion that we are probably breathing it in at the moment.............you need to know a bit more about where it comes from and how its produced to be able to make such a sweeping statement. So let me educate you just a little more Its mined and they have to heat the raw materiel to extreme temperatures to produce the fibres The production of asbestos products was banned in the UK in the 80's but the sale and use of products containing asbestos wasn't banned until 1990 Just be careful what you post in a public forum.............your words have the potential to mislead other less informed individuals and in this case the potential to put others health at risk. If you're wondering about my credentials. I am a degree qualified building surveyor and hold a P402 certificate in bulk sampling of asbestos The P402 has been superseded now and as I don't get involved with asbestos safety checks anymore and my employers don't insure me to take samples I've not kept up to date with the latest qualification Minimum I have to do these days is asbestos awareness
  15. Not forgetting we actually have to make it into 2013 first
  16. I wouldn't worry too much about the asbestos. you only get the fibers if it breaks up - it doesnt just evaporate into the air! Yeah and I know any that does is easily carried away, you need to be sat amongst lots of dust kicking it up and breathing it! But still Im giving it a coat just for peace of mind and I'm sealing with a second roof for aesthetics . I found the leak could be due to the bowing beam letting the lower part of the roof droop. This is causing an issue only on one side though so I'm not convinced unless its because thats where the roof overlaps with another panel. Maybe I'll put a black overlay over the roof so the water drains down correctly. Any suggestions? I'm in there all weekend and I'm off for the rest of the year so I have a week after this before I head up north to get it sealed tight. And potentially decorate the inside if everything goes well. I wouldn't be so blaze about it. You'll be kicking yourself for taking this attitude if your sat there in 10 plus years time with lung cancer and wondering where the feck you got it from. While its not as high risk as amphobiles, even chrysotile carries a risk. Trouble is they don't actually know how many fibres cause the problem so you should always double bag chrysotile of your removing it. Painting it is a good way of encapsulating it but even then you should wear the correct PPE. LECTURE OVER, its your health at the end of the day.
  17. Oh YEAH BABY!!!!! So up for THAT one! at about 8k a day i cant see it happening Vicki is loaded.................... allegedly
  18. I used to be trade. What make/model is it? Have a look here http://shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/Tools%20 ... fAodEgkkkw I'd heard you were familiar with some old scrubbers
  19. CB13's suffer with this and and Mr Bear has said (on CB13's at least) its generally down to mismatched tyres or uneven wear on the front tyre due to braking heavily My tyre tread is stepped but still legal and probably caused by excessive braking by previous If I let go of the bars between 30&50 the steering wobbles....badly . It supposedly does it at higher speeds but I ain't brave or stupid enough to test it I'm going to get as much out of the front tyre as poss before replacing it so no riding handsfree for me at the mo Incidentally I have Bridgies which are going to be replaced with Michy Pilots when the time comes
