Module 1 - members test experiences
Ian Frog replied to a topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
You are obviously local to me (Sharnbrook A6 area). Give me a shout if a run in the country with someone who has a couple of years experience would be helpful? Also if a coffee and a chat would be of interest. Cheers Ian -
I am afraid I believe they are gone ! I had a lovely green fading to yellow can on ,y ZRX and couldn't find a replacement so ended up with a full Black Widow replacement. Cheers Ian

Hope this is clear ? Seen on the way home! A little off topic but once you realise what this lorry does it1s epic. Cheers Ian

DVLA claim there are no offensive plates issued but I remember a picture of a CB200 in the Isle of Man that was showing FUK 1T as its reg. I laughed like a drain but I can be quite immature at times lol. Cheers Ian
-
Interesting tip thanks ! Cheers Ian

For what it`s worth guys Once upon a time I had a job supplying garages with parts washers in competition with a large company and the fluid they used was paraffin with an additive that turned it brown and improved the evaporation time. So if you don't like the water soluble new stuff just use paraffin and keep it warm lol. Cheers Ian

Many thanks Ian! I had a look at these exact cameras yesterday, i will most likely get one or 2 and hang it up in front of the drive and hook it up to a spare pc i have and just record it on a loop so i can view it in my office. thanks Ian! Actually one of the reasons I liked them is you don't need to link to a laptop. You can just save any notifications on your phone and if they are important just email them to yourself. Cheers Ian

Recently bought some cameras myself. Got them from Screwfix made by a company owned by Amazon called "Blink" XT2 was the model and I have been very pleased with them. Cheers Ian
-
Great fun the "Bloop" Please check the gearbox as I seem to remember the little blighters were all 4 down like a Fizzie and this can catch some people out. Good luck with the resto and don't forget to take loads of pics! Cheers Ian

Great find ! Nutters but gloriously so !

What bike is it going to be used on? I have Black Widow on my ZRX and Full Akrapovic on my busa and happy with both but aware there is a huge price difference.

Security cameras !
Ian Frog replied to Ian Frog's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
Fair point ! But a scrote identified is usually a scrote either arrested or hospitalised ! I favour the second option ! Cheers Ian -
Security cameras !

You are possibly as perverse as me ! I was thinking of protecting Suzy (Busa) and Rexy (ZRX1200R) but I will bear your suggestion in mind. Cheers Ian -
Hi Guys For what it is worth go to the Screwfix website and put xt2 in the search thing. Battery powered remote cameras that seem to have great battery life. We have been mucking around with them at work this morning and they work well without subscription charges as well! Putting up a set of 3 tomorrow at home, 1 in the garage watching my girls and 1 each front and back of house and synced to phone ! Hope this helps someone on these long dark nights when scrotes seem to prowl. Cheers Ian

I have looked at that link and personally I think it is factually incorrect ! As I said before I was convicted of just that in the 70`s. One thing they might have it confused with were there used to be certain rights of full licence car drivers when it came to small 2 wheelers. Cheers Ian
-
Be careful of Lion battery as I have heard a few cases of regulator/rectifiers giving up the ghost when these battery`s are fitted. Even saw an advert for an American company selling up rated elec components to cope. Cheers Ian
-
Just to add to the confusion there is a video that was posted to UKBusas by someone where they did detailed tests of a lot of lube options and they came up with the same recommendations as the chain manufacturer which was gearbox oil! Before anyone says it they included an anti fling test with a short length of chain in a drill and new clean lengths subjected to the same test with the other options. Good watch ! Cheers Ian
-
Shame but I am a lot less than surprised ! Cheers Ian

Hi Livewire For what it`s worth I have a couple of spare heavy duty chains that I have acquired through work. I would be happy to let you have one if it helps you out? Give me a shout if you want my email etc and we can arrange something. Cheers Ian
-
I had one of these back in the day (1987) and got crash bars for xl500 basically same machine. Try contacting Dave Silver Spares, Very helpful and knowledgeable people. Cheers Ian

I was at a top speed event at R.A.F Woodbridge a few years back when one of the competitors came off at 170mph plus. The following day he was back in the paddock apologising to us for holding up racing. He had some bruises and a broken little finger from memory. Someone said that as you have been down the road on your hands and knees if anyone says you spent too much on decent gloves just tell them to do one ! By the way Ken is still attending and competing in top speed events Cheers Ian

At what point do you think that was legal? I passed my test in 1979 and as far as I know it was not legal when I had my 250 on L plates or my AP5o ! I started riding in the mid 70`s and received a conviction for carrying a passenger in 76 and the guy on the back had a full licence. Cheers Ian

I think Andrew might need to use a tinted visor for a few other reasons lol. Cheers Ian

Picked up a pair of Richa cold protects tonight and in general well impressed. Will let you know how they perform later ! Cheers Ian
