  1. The intention is to do full camping gear yes. But when not camping I'm sure the mrs will find plenty to fill it up Maybe even make one of those pull up tents with aluminium frame.
  2. I was thinking elastic bands and a freezer bag, our idea of cheap seem to differ lol. Use the same technology as some reporters used a few years ago in the Amazon. Put it inside a condom
  3. As I said on another thread, I got this roof box courtesy of a gentleman from Auchterader Roof box Roof box The idea is to fix it to a frame and make a trailer for my touring trips. Although a one wheeler would be a great option I decided to Go for the 2 wheels and have a more stable setting. The box is 137 cm X 95 cm which is just under the legal 1m width. To go around this, I'll be crating 2 wheel arch inside the box next to the wall, this will be done in glass fibre and resin. The cover is quite wobbly so I'm considering reinforcement with red carbon fibre and epoxy resin, 3 resin coats on top for glossy finish. Like this ill be red as the bike Red carbon fibre I'm not too worried about the base, it will be fixed to the steel frame so it will be strengthen with it and isn't as wobbly. Also considering to create a wall to be fixed between the cover and the base to increase capacity.
  4. What I don't like about these is that if you leave the bike for a few hours the braking system is under pressure for a log period.
  5. You only need to MOT them to make sure they are safe to ride, you won't need insurance and tax as long you don't ride them
  6. I have a nitendo wiiU will throw all the accessories with it
  7. No at the moment . Are you not officially advertising it? I'me very tempted. Would be a great add-on to my ST1300 and ideal for shorter trips like bike day friday
  8. Yesterday got a free roof box, so will be starting design for new trailer finish mounting fairings on bike little repairs while fitting, wee things like replace dodgy electrical contacts with new plugs. Start cutting wooden steps for stairs. Make a BBQ Have plenty beer and red wine
  9. When I went to this museum I got into the concorde, I don't think I would like to fly in it. so little space. Compared to a 777 or a 380 is a flying cupboard https://www.nms.ac.uk/explore-our-collections/stories/science-and-technology/concorde/
  10. If I understand it is very different from Wenkel. Regarding IP. By posting it you have lost the opportunity to register the IP according to international IP rules... Technicality, as combustion engines will be illegal in a few years, it's a copyright of what you could have had. Unless you can burn hydrogen or other green fuel

  12. First one important question. You have already registered the IP? Second, it should depend on proximity between flame and fuel, if heat transfer is strong enough it should inflame but this would mean that the separating material is hot enough to transmit the heat. The image is showing a thin material so I would guess it will heat up, the next question is, will the material resist such fast heat exchange? Anyhow, I think it's a neat idea if it works.
  13. At 250 miles I start looking for a petrol station.
  14. No they're not. Front wheel will point to where you want to go and read is always the same direction Agreed but I thought he was asking about rear tyre wear as it`s the rear that is offset. Front behaves just like any front wheel. Cheers Ian Yep. Usually there is an offset between front and rear wheels (when both pointing same direction. This offset compensates the pulling of the rear wheel from the chain. If wheels were perfectly aligned as you would find if you pass a string from the front of the front tyre to the rear of the rear tyre you will find a gap between the front of the rear wheel and the string. That is the offset that allow the bike to go straight.
  15. No tyre wear isn't affected as both wheels pointing in same direction just as normal. Cheers Ian No they're not. Front wheel will point to where you want to go and read is always the same direction

    Brake pads

    My ST1300 only takes EBC HH ones.
  20. The sprocket is lined up with the wheel and is all inline with the front sprocket if one is inline then so is the rest So sound like when I went to the MOT with the VFR a few years ago and the guy said I needed to replace the brake disks. Following year I mentioned that to the guy from another garage and he said the brakes were perfect. Some MOT garages are more like gold diggers than mechanics.
