Title: Motorcyclists ride to protest anti-motorcycle proposals
|
Motorcyclists in the Philippines have had enough of anti-motorcycling policies introduced by the government and local councils. We think the UK is bad but how would you fancy a pillion ban, not being allowed on motorways or dual carriageways and having to paint your registration number on the back of your helmet. That is, if you are allowed to wear a helmet.
Unbelievably, those are already in place or being debated in the Philippines. |

Title: Exhaust decoration
Is there any way to decorate your downpipes that would not burn off?
Would like an effect like a damascus barrelled shotgun but with the banding wider.
[attachmentid=9001]
Anyone got any ideas?

Title: Thermostats
I sold my old Volvo on e bay and now have my father in laws '93 Honda Civic. I realised that the thermostat must be knackered as the car took forever for the engine to warm up, the heater didn't work well and the choke didn't seem to come off for the first 6 miles of every trip.
What difference did changing the thermostat make? the miles per gallon has gone up from 25 mpg to 40 mpg, the car runs better and the heater works.
I've never changed a thermostat on a bike before but I always replace them as soon as I buy a car as they're always knackered. Three bolts, ten minutes and job done. I've worked out that it'll save me £640 a year just on the petrol I use driving to work. That's going in my saving for a TDM 850 fund! |

Title: Aviva car insurance
My boss had a crash in the works pickup and he was immediately given a hire car. Aviva only took ten working days from the crash to settle the claim and we're getting more than twice what we expected for the van.
My boss has nothing but praise for them, I might have to give them a go next renewal. |
