Ttaskmaster Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm betting this 3-lane roundabout has white lines, right? The lines from your entry lanes curve round and merge with those on the roundabout, to direct vehicles toward the correct lane? The inability of cagers to follow these simple lines is getting worse... We have that on our big roundabouts. Almost daily, some prick will be in the wrong one and cut across up to 4 other lanes at once to get where they're going. My thumb is permanently covering the horn and my left foot cocked to kick the inevitable car that tries to side-swipe me. Booted four (that I remember) so far this year. Also noticed a worrying trend lately, of people driving with white earphones (of the iPhone/iPod kind) in - Do cars not come with radios/CD/MP3 devices now?

Prichard XT Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 yeah that is a very worrying trend and not to prejudge but tend to be young female drivers in small cars Passed me DAS yesterday woop woop and nearly head the same thing happen during my test young woman head phones in typical tester must have seen I have ability to remain calm and in control these situations iv fixed the XT now so im gonna get working on the 250cc supercharged engine to go in need to make the super charger this shouldn't be to hard just need two more electrical parts and make new full exhausts naming it the YamaSuki XT250Z I will post a progress on the projects forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Yamasuki? Actually that's kinda catchy... Actually round here it's the BMW blokes that do most of the prick-driving, particularly weaving, undercutting and general bullying. Girls will be too close behind and are more likely to pull out on you from roundabouts and side junctions. Girls in 4x4s (real or pretend) are the main reason I want to drive a tank. Self-drive hire vans are fucking' lethal. Considering borrowing a still-kitted ex-Police bike and seeing if they fecking behave when THAT shows up next to 'em... Looking forward to your progress thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Sorry to hear about what happened mate, there's some awful drivers on the road! At least your ok and your bike is ok relatively speaking. Like the sound of the YamaSuki! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnerz89 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Sounds like it's gonna be sweet! Shouldn't be too difficult to wire in that lot, just get the soldering iron out and go crazy! Are you making your own exhausts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prichard XT Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 yep using straight through tailpipe/s , don't know what the best setup wil be 2 into 1, or 2 into 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Can't help you there mate, don't really know anything about exhausts. Don't think it would affect performance too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prichard XT Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 well it seems to me that stock bikes tend to go ? into 1 im guessing this would be to make them quite and you do lose some performance because of this pressure change but I suppose it depends on how you setup and if your taking weight in to account I think were going 2 - 2 less welding to do and less complicated abit heavyer if ya got a good welder and grinder to hand also got a bar bender it should not be to hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
