Re: Being tracked

Interesting thread, fwiw I'm on a tracker on my company vehicle, initially I viewed it exactly the same as Perkles - it's intrusive and it essentially says that your employer doesn't trust you. However, a few years back one of the sales reps at my previous company was on ...

Re: Elections

I have no control over what other riders prefer...nor how motorcycle design pertains to buildings designed to function/withstand earthquakes. Where I live has nothing to do with it, my perspective would be the same, mi amigo.

Re: Black visors

There isn't a road legal level of tint for the sun visors (afaik). They're not subject to the same regulations as visors Absolutely right. Visors have to comply with BS4110 XA, YA or ZA and can only block out a maximum of 50% ambient light. A race visor blocks out 80% ...

Re: Suggestions? Help?

Balls (envy)

Lines changed and bled well this morning. Lever firm.

Move the bike forwards a metre - lever loses all pressure. Same as before.

I'm getting fed up of brakes ;( ;(
