Re: Industrial hearing loss

A friend was telling me he had a similar call at home the other day...so he left the phone on top of the TV........for half an hour....and what with this being a mobile, the cold caller can't ring off until the mobile is disconnected. After half an hour ...

... and I actually think it is the waterproof case which is the reason for vibration. The mounts and everything else are rock solid. And if I use the other mounts there's no movement. It is only when you use the waterproof case (which has a built in mounting point but is made of a clear pllastic) ...

Re: Bike Cams.

Well I tried it out this morning. Not an interesting video so I haven't bothered uploading it. Just a test. And what it showed is that there's too much vibration in the mount at the moment. Need to get it sorted. It gives the video a kind of wobble. While I ...

Re: Caught Speeding.... bugger.

I paid a visit to D6 the other night to pick up the levers for the kwak.

On the way there I spotted a White Speed Triple being driven very carefully at just under 40mph through some roadworks.

I think he's learned his lesson :D

Another vote for ; you need to move up a group Rob. You were streets ahead of all the others on there, and you are unlikely to encounter so many dangerous obstacles when your lap times are closer to those of the other riders ...

Re: Hand Guards

... if so is the lack of the weight on the end of the bar going to cause lots of extra vibrations ??? I don't know the answer to the question, but other more smarter peeps on here may do..

It's a suggestion thread. If no one is interested it won't happen. If you want to propose some other dates throw them in the ring.

As mentioned in the other thread, Inters fullly booked - have gone for the novices as I am nowhere near quick enough for fast.

Re: Squeaky bum time (onboard from snetterton)

Didn't watch all the vid but I'd say you need to move up to inters. Your relative speed to most of the others is too big and recon you'd feel a lot safer in inters. It's much easier and it all flows better when you're arriving at a corner doing similar speeds to the other ...
