Re: Engine Not running smoothly

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Another job Jobbed! Fitted a HealTech Glpro G2 Gear Indicator. Fitting it was really quite straightforward once I'd found the correct wires to tap into.

Brilliant! Think I'll do something similar but maybe use something a little more phallic for added interest...!

Re: Day Running Lights - Who uses them?

The bottom line is, it doesn't matter how visible you make yourself if somebody waiting to pull out of a side turning doesn't actually look then even looking like a supernova won't help you. This happened to me 40 years ago, a guy pulled out right in front of me and I ploughed straight into him earn...

Re: Day Running Lights - Who uses them?

True, there's the "side light" above the headlamp, I suppose I was thinking more of added LED lighting on the bike :) I said, 'a contentious issue amongst riders'' only because I've a few biking mates who refuse to have them on the grounds that "Other road users should be more respons...
