Module 2 own bike requirements?
Tango replied to a topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
As long as all the paperwork for your bike is in order I don't think the examiner will be too bothered......however, if it had removeable baffles you may want to do the test with them in......just to create a good impression with the examiner...... BTW....Welcome to TMBF mate....... go over to the Newbies section and introduce yourself when you get time....... -

Tango replied to thunderpantz's topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
Good luck mate......just try to relax and ride smoothly...... -

Tail pack vs top box??
Tango replied to christoph93's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
My Kreiga tailpack is 100% waterproof......I tested it thoroughly in Wales on the Whitsun weekend..... I didn't want a rack and topbox on the Speedie.....it would just look wrong..... -
I use Mucoff chain cleaner....and other people use WD40.....but meths is probably OK.......just don't try cleaning it with the engine running and in gear.....

Crown & Cushion Bike nights Every 3rd Weds...
Tango replied to Tango's topic in Cambs & East Anglia Rideouts and Meets
Well......me and Bonniebird went there last night........it was a bit quiet......only one other "official" bike turned up.......and a couple on separate bikes just happened to stumble upon the pub..... But it's a nice pub....and there's some good roads around there.....and I guess it is August, so some folk will be away......so we'll probably try it again....maybe next month if the weather is still holding..... -

CBT - Experiences of other Members
Tango replied to slanty's topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
thankyou, have just re-booked, so here's hoping. Good on you......hope you're successful this time.....but don't get too hung up about it.....we all had to learn at some stage...... -
A1 test....that you take on a 125cc bike and if you pass will allow you to ride a 125cc bike... So....if you passed you could ride on motorways and take a pillion.....on a 125cc bike......personally I don't think I'd bother......wait until you're 19 and take the A2 test......

I misread your post first time.....so, yes, it's likely to be a blown fuse..... Find the fuse box and check all the fuses......and replace it.....but disconnect the tail light assy.....and then plug one bit in at a time to see if the fuse blows again.....
-
Yeah....we'd need to see some piccy's in order to be able to help really.....
-
There are Internet tyre suppliers who have a list of recommended fitters......but normally you'd have to take the loose wheels to them........

Crown & Cushion Bike nights Every 3rd Weds...
Tango replied to Tango's topic in Cambs & East Anglia Rideouts and Meets
I think we plan to check it out tonight and see what it's like.......will report back..... -
Double check all the wiring to the rear light cluster......and make sure the earth connection is ok. Disconnect the wire to the number plate light and try again if you suspect that......

HARTFORD MARINA - Organise your meets here!!
Tango replied to yorbandit's topic in Cambs & East Anglia Rideouts and Meets
They ran out of burgers Neil......... -
There's a bike night held at the Crown & Cushion pub in Great Gransden (SG19 3AT ) on every 3rd Wednesday of the Month. Next one is tomorrow night (Weds 21st Aug)......so I guess we'll see how we feel as to whether we go along or not.... The guv'nor of the Pub is a biker himself...as is his son.....so it should be a reasonable meet.....and I think he does Burgers for those that need a little snack too.... I'm on their mailing list.....so I'll try to put up reminders on here for those that may be interested....

I used to use carbone lorraine bob and have done for years but thought I would try EBC on a recommendation of a lot of TL owners and I must say I am really really impressed as in I think I will stick to them they feel better then the carbone lorraine Cool Stu.....I think the Carbone Lorraine pads are getting harder to get hold of now....changed their name and distribution I think......so I may need to experiment on the next pad change.....which won't be for some time hopefully.....
-
Sintered pads can wear the disk rotors a bit more.......but these days the manufacturers have improved the material so that they don't wear them as much as they used to..... One thing you don't want to compromise on is your brakes.....
-
Well Cat....as the pad material wears down the caliper pistons need to move further out to compensate.....so the fluid moves down from the master cylinder towards the calipers.....
-
The HH are sintered......and I'm guessing that the GG are organic (made out of Horses.... ).......so as Stu says the HH ones are likely to be a bit better. Personally I use Carbone Lorraine pads on my bikes......and they work pretty good IMHO.....

Dunno why....but the thread about Zod reminded me of this..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwgWsE2k4eA .
