  1. Hi! I stored a Triumph Bonnivil (Collectors Bike) in a Fairly new Cedar Shed, only to find that after a few weeks of the wet stuff the Paint on the Tank and Fenders started to Blister. I fitted one of those Green house electric Tube heaters on a timer, this sorted out the Moisture, then I got Fibreglass loft insulation and installed that in between all the battens onto the wall panells, easyest way to secure was with Garden Bamboo Cains cut for a tight fit between the battens. this will be cheeper than hard linning the shed! Dont use plastic sheeting anywhere as it will Sweat. Stand the Bike on a large sheet of rubber mating covered with an old Rug! this will stop moisture being drawn up through the Floor "Snug as a Bug in a Rug" Regards Lennie1

    Hi Yanto! and welcome! If you are going to use a Paddock stand a good tip is to use a Tie-Wrap pulled around your Throttle Grip to the Front Brake lever, this will stop it rolling on its castor wheels! also do not allow anyone to sit on it whilst its on the Paddock stand!! For added safety I have placed Soft rubber pads on the support brackets this helps stop the swing arm sliding along the support brackets. You could also fit Bobbins to the Swing arm and then order Hook type brackets to replace the "L" shaped brackets which are supplied on most Paddock stands. Have great respect for the Throttle and the Bike will behave accordingly! Ride Safe and Enjoy

    Hi Guys! What do think of my Cleaning Accessories?
  8. I agree if you dont try it you may a some stage wish you had. Been here 3 years now came over at the age of 52 its the same as anwhere you get what you work for! The Beaches, the beer and the fags all have to be paid for ! But at far less expence. We went out last sunday (Boys on their Toys) covered over 200ks for €14.00 in Fuel (About a Tenner). Its quite common to see large groups of bikes going all over the place, we have an average of 300 days Sunshine a year so its got to be done. There is a a region called "Soller" where all manner of Bikes gather at a Bar to watch the Mental Spanish Lads on top road legal track Spec bikes with super Soft rubber race through the twisting Mountain roads, some are amazing riders others are just plane F------g Nuts. Not wanting to Piss you Off by mentioning all this but its got to be sampled at least once in a life time.
  9. I agree, but I can also understand the Car drivers getting Pissed at us being able to do excactly what we are permitted to do within the bounds of the Law. I moved over to Mallorca 3 years ago to get away from the Rat race, resigned myself to not being able to continue with Riding Bikes due to the above mentioned state of affairs! (Russian Roulett). But ! Yet again got a Bike YZF750R, to my amazement it is a pleasure driving a bike over here, of course always driving with head lights on drivers take great effort to let you pass? its unusual to get stuck behind a Car, even on the narrow but fun Country roads the Spanish will pull over the nearside line and let you through then pull back out again. The Spanish Car drivers in Mallorca are totaly ignorent of other Car drivers as they seem to think that it is there given right to act and drive how they want and SOD all the rest! But God bless them all they alwys are on the lookout for the Bikes!! More than likely expecting their Uncle, Dad or even Grandfather coming up behind them. The Biggest "Knobs" on the Roads over here are Rich Brits with their Range Rover Sports, Porches and over expensive SunDay Sports Cars, But hey we know how to deal with them!!!!!!!!!! Come over on the Ferry its cheap and Fun Riding with Great Roads.
  10. I totaly agree! In my 40 years experience of both bikes and Cars, the greater majority and also by personal injury experience have been down to Vehicles (excludes 2 wheels) being driven by people who have no understanding of the concentration required to ride safely, whilst I agree that other drivers who have not had the education of Biking "Never Look for Riders as a natural instinct! ( Oh I didnt see Him!!) an even great majority will do their best to hinder riders (Why Should I let him Pass or Through)?? How Many bike riders do you see looking at their passengers whilst holding a conversation during the course of traveling along the road. How many of us Use mobiles whilst driving? How many of us drink Coffe or Pop whilst driving? How many of us fall asleep whilst at the controls? How many of us drive down the road with mist or frost impaired vision during the winter mornings.? How many of us double park or obstruct entrys and exits.? Ever tried reading a map or paper whilst riding? Ever tried smoking a Fag with Gloves and a full face Helmet? We dont expect anthing other than to be left alone to enjoy FREEDOM!!
  11. Hi Cobra! Realy smart! a lot of time and dosh? I have the same model and would like to get hold of the Shroud/Cover to go over the Pillion seat, any Ideas where I might get one. Best Regards

    Thanks for the Info and your time Guys! It's just that on the YZF750R there is a Rocker switch on the Fairings L/H/Side below the Left hand grip! this switch has to be in the "on" position during normal riding and swiched over to Reserve Once the Red warning light comes on! So you can imagine the "Bummer" when this is left in the wrong position and you have already used the reserve when the light comes on!! Its refered to in the manual but its a crap photo! Fuel left in reserve is just over 3 litres!! Again thanks for your help.
