I have just bought a Scottoiler Touring off Ebay for £82.... Should have been just over £100.... Bargain I thought....

Which is the best jacket for hot weather?
nigelwood1 replied to a topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
Spada do a nice mesh jacket with armour and a handy waterproof over coat that comes with it... Only about £90.... Try this web site... http://www.feridax.com/product/W-e0fa20 ... black.html -
ZZR1400 comes with BT014 or BT016 as standard... BT021's last quite a bit longer....

Transport of the Four Wheeled variety - what's yours?
nigelwood1 replied to Matt Strange's topic in General Chat
I have a 2001 Vauxhall Vectra 2.2 DTi.... Best car I have ever owned.... Room for me (6'5") and has all the bits that are necessary.... Great car, Quick, comfy and reliable.... Nearly 8 years old and only 48000 on the clock.... Not worth much but not worth replacing when I still like it and it don't cost me money..... -
The new BT021 is the replacement for the BT020 and is dual compound and quite sticky on the edges... I use them on the ZZR1200 and they are very good.... Front sticks like poo on a blanket.....

Unfortunately I have no photo's but the rest of the gang have loads..... A lot of them will be mainly in the drivers bar when we were very very drunk..... There should be some photo's of the racing but they may be a bit blurred as like I said we were very very drunk most of the weekend.... The thing I like about the touring cars is that you get a FULL weekend of racing and plenty of mad buggers trying hard to win..... There was plenty of carnage and some brilliant racing.... I would recommend a weekend at the touring cars..... Its great fun.....

I spent this weekend at Thruxton watching the touring cars.... Went down Friday afternoon and had a pleasant weekend getting pi55ed and watching the racing.... There were about 25 of us with most of us wearing purple wigs all weekend... Yes we are a bit barking but it was a bl00dy good do!!!!.....

Spending spree
nigelwood1 replied to FRHornet's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
I bought my Shoei XR1000 from http://www.racevisors.co.uk At the time they were about the cheapest and you got a free 2nd visor with it.. I got a dark tint visor with mine and both were pinlock ready.... -
I feel so much better now..... Me n the missus stayed up and watched race 1 and the supersport race on sunday morning.... It feels so gooood to have racing back on the telly..... I'm no longer tense and irritable....

They should stop using qualifyers... Keep the bikes on the track with soft race tyres and see who ends up fastest.... Qualifiers are a waste of time as they do not represent the true pace of the rider.... Appart from that the new format is a good idea...

Happy days are here again......... At last something worth watching on TV..... I have read 18 books since the last race of last year..... Ordinary tv is so boring....... Yippee!!!!!!

Alpine Tour - What clothing?
nigelwood1 replied to a topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
I would go for textile clothing as you are covered for if it rains and I find them not to hot when its warm.. Rode through germany in 2007 in 42 degrees with my textile jacket and leather jeans and was quite comfortable... -
I use Day and Night lenses which I put in and forget for a month... As with all lenses it takes time for your eyes to become accustomed to them but now I have no problems with dry eyes... You can sleep in the ones I use so plenty of air gets to your eyes which means they don't play up at all... You can wear these lenses like normal ones if you wish but its surprising how comfortable they feel once you get used to them and now I rarely wear my glasses... Maybe for a couple of hours when I change them each month... The other alternative is to get your eyes lasered.... No glasses no lenses and perfect vision... if I was 20 years younger i would have mine lasered....

Typically one or a couple of people make a complaint and its stopped.... 200 plus disagree and complain to a planning office about a proposed building developement and they ignore them... Where is the justice and where is the consistency.... I agree with the previous comments and I think it should be buyer beware... They chose to live next to a race circuit SO LIVE WITH IT!!!!!

Shopping List for NEC
nigelwood1 replied to Korben's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
I bought a pair of Sidi Black Rain Evo's... £119...... Best I have seen anywhere else was £134..... I also found out that my head does not fit an AGV, Roof or Arai... Was told by a nice bloke who knew his stuff that I should get a Shoei XR1000.... Told him I already got one.... May have to look at a Shark helmet..... -
If the shock doesn't have a ride height adjuster try getting some longer linkages (Dog bones)... Maxton engineering will be able to tell you how much longer they need to be and should be able to supply them as well.. Just punt em an E-mail and tell them what bike and how much you want to lower it by and they should be able to do the rest.. http://www.maxton.netspinners.co.uk/

I prefer Tarmac racing.... Used to do a bit of MX but knees and back gave up....

What is there to do now the racing season is over..... Its too early for curling.... What other sports are worth watching...

I have a ZZR1200 and I have a remote adjuster by the right hand passenger footpeg... I am not sure if the ZZR600 has the same adjuster but if it does just turn it clockwise 2 clicks... If not it will be a "C" spanner and skinned knuckles... Try riding it 2 up as is and see how it feels...
