» Either or neither? RC8 - ZXR750 |
|
Apr 08, 2020 - 10:46 AM - by PADDYOT

Lads,
I'm toying with the idea of a second bike, something that will only be brought out on sunny days and occasional spins. Has to be a sports bike, I'm not concerned with practicality in the slightest but reliability would be preferred.
These two jumped out at me. The Kwacker is one of my poster bikes from back in the day (literally, had a poster of this exact model and colour). The KTM I've always liked the look of and if the engine is anything like the one in the Duke then winner winner chicken dinner.
Can someone give me some perspective/opinion on the bikes below because at the minute my heart is saying "BUY BUY BUY!!!" Any experience with these models or does anything in the Ads set off any alarm bells? The ZXR seems to have a... [Read More]

There's been a lot of conspiracy theory's turned out to be true, such as Epstein, Private Island's being frequented by Royalty & Presidents, the Raping and Recording of Children for blackmailing etc., then mysterious deaths in max security prisons to cover it all up. Real movie type stuff that some were vilified for disclosing (from anonymous insiders) many years ago along with saville etc., the truth is stranger than fiction these days but it has to be said that David Icke (call him a nutter all you want) was right about a lot of stuff..
Brian Rose is a respected businessman, who's not going to put his ass (and steady online revenue stream) on the line for anyone, and he has been deleted from youtube and vimeo, here's a copy of the banned video with all the facts and... [Read More]

» Torque wrench advice needed |
|
Apr 05, 2020 - 9:28 PM - by R.M
|
Ok...I need to buy a torque for small jobs on bike. As I know little mecchanics....how do I know what size to buy...1/2 or 3/8
I have a halfords tool set for 10yrs & need the torque wrench to be compatible with the sockets from it. Do I need to measure the attachment on the sockets to see if they are 1/2 or 3/8s?
Found some decent priced ones on https://www.caulfieldindustrial.com/...rench/p-e10200
Thanks for advice.

» Im thick ! |
|
Apr 04, 2020 - 11:20 PM - by allsorts&oddjobs

Lads, i have to admit to being a bit thick, I was out in the shed this evening doing a few jobs when I realised that I have a good few boxes of rubber gloves, I tend to buy them when I see them so as it happens I have nine boxes of them!
Thats ppe !
Fuck me, never thought of it (thats the thick part)
Anyway im dropping them into the hospital tomorrow, but I thought it was worth mentioning on here in case any of ye have a few boxes too, or maybe we can gather a few together, people might have one box or whatever so if we can gather them up they could be given to someone who needs em.
Thoughts ?

» Ride on tyre sealant and balancer. |
|
Apr 03, 2020 - 3:12 PM - by Chickenhawk
|
Gonna bite the bullet and tyre fit my own tyres.
What's the worst I can do.
I've no way to balance the tyres and came across this stuff.
Anyone ever use it?
Seems a no brainer if it balances and forms a puncture seal. And there's no weights to fly off.
But does it work or is it another half job?
It's about 40 euro per tyre. I could buy a cheap tyre balancer and weights possibly for that.

Under lockdown does a service shop count as essential? I'm looking for tyres - the likes of Cotters would be ideal. The feckers never answer the phone and the website gives no indication.

Is it possible to upgrade from an old school dash to a TFT for older bikes?
Specifically I'm wondering if it can be done for a K6 GSXR1000.
Not for track use. Road use.
Cheers.

Mar 23, 2020 - 11:15 PM - by R.M

What's this all about? Why are people donating to this?
I am a front line healthcare worker. I don't need feeding. I have a job/wage....salary isn't massive for my role, but it;s in line with the average industrial wage.
Why are all these do gooders/celebs getting behind a cause that's not needed.
I can feed myself & my family. Why not throw your support behind some other cause that's more needy at this time of crisis?
I have a weekly wage coming in....many thousands will not.
I will probably earn it like I never did before, but that;s life.
Earlier today, €300k was raised...how the hell is this going to be distributed to the 000's of healthcare staff?
If you want to help the front line staff, then... [Read More]
