  1. Nice! I really like the idea of a Wrap, my mate has had his Range Rover done and it looks great.
  2. Pics... Was thinking of changing my bikes colour!

    new tools

    Multi core cable cutters. Welder!
  4. Be careful warning other drivers it is actually an offence, someone ended I court for it. Bit petty if you ask me! I'll have to google it and see if I can find the news report.
  5. I use Scott oil FS365, but only put it lightly on metal work that might rust. Paint work is polished and black plastic is treated with back to black.
  6. I'm assuming by saying Chrome you mean stainless steel? If you are saying stainless steel then I have used auto sol, however to be fair my bikes are used all weathers so i don't really bother. What bike is it for?

    Garage Flooring..

    My garage is my zone was planning to install Helgar the Swedish blond large chested mechanic to pick up my nuts when I drop them but Mrs nogin said it was a step to far! So I'll stick with my work bench, tools and my chair. I was going to paint garage floor but after reading what has been said, I may look at other options!

    I would say the carb needs cleaning, perhaps a carb clean and fresh fuel

    Sounds lik fueling... is it carbs or injection? I would take it to a garage if you know nothing about bikes.
  10. cheers for that.
  11. My Caberg was the same, in heavy rain water came through the air vents. For gods sake don't buy a Caberg Konda, I changed my Justissimo for one and eventually gave up with it, it was awful.

    Brake shudder

    Well gave it a go and yep you are right loads if crap came out, seemed like it was full of sand!!! I suspect during all the wet weather they have been filling with grit. Ill see how they feel tomorrow when I go to work, but I suspect the discs are on their way out.
  13. I would say its the brakes, are they disc or drum. As for the chain tight spots usually mean its had it. Check the links you can try to loosen them up with oil etc but as its a CG it may be easier for a new chain and sprocket set.
  14. Jacket was purchased in Lincoln on 12/07/12 for £199 I was given a £50 trade on on my old jacket. During a wet summer it did not take me long to realise the waterproofing had gone on my old and much love Shoei jacket a jacket I had owned for 7 years was leaking like sive. i had purchased second hand of ebay for £20 so it didn't owe me a penny. I spent 2 weeks searching ebay but found myself really reluctant to buy anything with out trying it on first. I ride almost every day come rain or shine so I want a jacket that did the job well. I was told that Hein gericke were doing a trade in so I popped over to have a look, my budget was £100 I looked at their cheap range and dismissed it quickly so I threw another £50 in to the bag and looked at the York range. Its a good fitting jacket, with a zip out thermal lining. it has pockets everywhere and a zip so you can attach it to you trousers. If you are wearing jeans it has a strap that you can unfold from the back and clip to the front to stop you jacket riding up. Its also a quality jacket it just feels better made than some other I looked at. Its got summer zip vents in the arms, chest and back and they are BRILLIANT, made riding in the summer heat so much better and cooler. Armour is good, shoulder, arm and basic back protection. They do a better bit of insert back armour but due to HG closing some of its shops its not available. I recently rode 15 miles in very heavy rain and it did not leak once its comfortable and I went for a medium as I like a firm fit rather than a loose fit, The guy in the shop said the Large was too big for me it looked and felt too loose. I got a 2 year HG guarantee with it. The only thing I don’t like about it is the flap at the front that covers the Zip could do it Velcro holding it shut rather than poppers, other than that its £150 I think well spent.
