Must be in rehab somewhere trying to kick the habit

Oh, so there is no need for gritters? They just need to pour warm water on the roads? Pouring warm water gets rid of ice by melting it, though that water is then liable to stay and refreeze. Adding salt/grit lowers the freezing point of water, a preventative. One's a solution to get rid, one's a preventative, completely different things... I think they were taking the piss so to speak Oh................urine will contain salt which will prevent refreezing

I was going to take a pic but then I got this god awful feeling I was being watched by the missus Sooooooooo I tried to pursuade Mat to get a pic with her but he just looked at me with disapproval I think it was disapproval anyway What is he?...................Gay or something?

And had 'chrome cleaning' been asked I wouldn't have recommended it. The question was about stainless. Oh sorry That is of course what I meant as it did this to my stainless can and was a bugger to get rid of the staining If it ends up staining the steel then its an endless polishing task

I use Brasso and that grease stuff Be careful if you decide use wonder wheels Its a mild acid and if you leave it on too long it will stain the chrome

Like wise Still looking for the Hobbit pics

First bike show for oooooo...........lets see............25 years Enjoyed it loads Plenty to see You know you've had a good day Jo when you found summat decent to sit on

I was struggling with this thinking why would you want your face to be more accessible I could only think of two reasons.............none of which were particularly appealing Then I reread it and picked up on the "in an emergency" bit Surely if your going to buy a flip front lid, then it should tell you somewhere in the gumph you get with it, whether it is adviseable to ride with the flip part up or not ?

Best of luck to you Mick

Pump it up and see what happens It may be rideable to a repair shop if you have a stone in it, but it may go down too quickly.......depends how far away the tyre place is and pumping it up back up might force the stone out to a point where it will no longer be acting as a plug............... You can repair tyres but if the symetry is gone it won't be worth it Sorry I should have put a little more detail in my response

I think I'd be inclined to pump the tyre up and see what happens Also when you do pump it up, check the symetry of the cross section I had a rear tyre lose pressure due to lack of checks and ended up having to buy a new one as it wore excessively on one side making it a wierd shape Check your tyres regularly in future I do mine once a week now whether I'm riding or not

Sorry Been up north annoying the northern jessies lol

Just one question Probably a stupid one, but I'll ask anyway I haven't gone through the T&C's etc as I am only considering one As this is am IAM event are you expected to wear a one piece leather or are you permitted to wear your everyday riding kit? many thanks

Well done you for sticking with it, getting back on and booking up to have another crack at it AND place a pic of your bike in http://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/view ... =3&t=23986 AND post a pic of yerself in http://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/view ... f=4&t=1328

I'll be looking soon, so this thread will come in handy Currently running BT016 on the rear, not sure about front as I haven't checked..................................................................................... all I know is its black, inflateable and made of rubber Clocked up about 4.5k on mine since I had the bike so an indication of expected mileage on suggestions would be useful Sorry for Hijacking thread but no point in reinventing the wheel

Stick some tape on your nipples. Should be able to touch 160 easy. Genius!!! Waxing any hairy bits will get you few more mph

Wheres the one for FAST? I guess thatll come under "other (please explain)" then...............no need On a serious note I won't go out intentionally in the rain as I have a car so why get wet when you don't need to? If I get caught in it, fair enough as I wear textiles anyway It did tip it down the day I picked my gixer up for the 130mile ride back from Cheltenham I used to ride in all weathers when I was younger and spent many moments after a ride in the snow to work, fingers burning with pain while they thawed out
