@MyTroy71 Spare racebikes which you can't use, If you wreck your bike, race
is over. If you can find a new one for the next race, that isn't a problem.
And believe me, most of the teams do it low budget, of course their are
always some exceptions. This year, whit the slowest bike out of 36 and
completely no racing experiance me and my team managed to finish 8th, in 3
out of 5 races we had mecanical failures we always finished the races, my
point is that that ex racer's thing is overrated.
Three MCN staffers have bought and prepared three classic adventure bikes to find out if you can experience the thrills and spills of the great desert rally ...
Guys take a leaf out of top gear.. actually you need to take the whole
tree.. u did the intro alright but no challenges, nothing interesting or
any decent footage of the trip you did.. just a this is the bikes, and now
we are 330km up the road and we all made it.. yeah fantastic.. no dirt, no
challenge.. i could buy a postie bike and do the same.. boring...
Really enjoyed this! The £10,000 bikes would bore me. I used to live in
Dacre and Ripley, now have the excitement only of the South Circular round
Wandsworth. I learnt to ride on those roads on a £190 FS1E from Johnsons
Motorcycles in Harrogate. Fond memories, and thanks for posting!
What gets on my nerves is A) none of these blokes have heard of a razor
(have a shave ffs).... Also Mr Hairy on the Yamaha does not understand how
a microphone works... Its people like this who give motorcyclists a bad
name!
Nice to have a look at bikes I missed out on. Those are all nice rides for
around $2000 US. All are difficult to locate in the US. I have never seen
the Yamaha or the Suzuki.
@stepheninnavan That pub they start at is in Ripley, just outside Harrogate
North Yorkshire and if they'd gone half a mile up the road from Dacre Banks
they'd have got to Dacre
at 30 seconds into the film the lads leave for dakar.... then after riding
up the country they go past the excate same place at 2.30... something
wrong there lads... :)
Gives me the willies to see you blokes driving on the wrong side of the
road. Nice scenery, I keep watching for Foggy, Campo, or Norman to scamper
out of the paddocks
Preparing your bike for winter | Test | Motorcyclenews.com
Road salt can do terrible things to your bike if not kept in check. All Year Biker will give your bike the anti-corrosion treatment for £60, which will protect it from the ...
For practical reasons editorials are put together in advance of
publication, the actual treatment was carried out a couple of months ago
before the heavy snow and well gritted roads so just in time for winter.
The 'cleaning' part of the treatment is proper preparation for the pressure
misting of ACF50 for deep penetration of all metal parts and electrics of
the bike. Pressure washers ruining a bike? that's an urban myth. We show
you how to use one properly and safely on our web site article.
in the uk, our winter now happens within the first few weeks of january, we
then normally have some random hot days and then back to bad cold and
rainy. weve also just had a random snow storm aswell that didnt last long..
back about 15 years ago, winter for us used to be back around november to
december
Been riding my Honda cbf 125 almost every day for a year including through
the snow. Now I know what it's like and wish I had some money to spend on
stuff like this. Oh well maybe this year when I get a cbr 250r hopefully
along with full bike licence of course :-)
I do a similar thing to my bikes a couple times a year using a commercial
product called Corrosion X, and in areas where you have friction, something
called Slipstream STYX. Its made for firearms, but does amazing on my
bikes. Shifters, sprockets, cables...
Gary, nearly 300 Ducatis treated in the last year.....and not a SINGLE
problem with any using a power washer. It's a power tool, like any, use it
wrongly and it'll bite you. Use properly it'll do the job for you with no
problem.
so the bottom line is to wash it ??? wax it ,spray a chem. on it . ok now
do you just ride it or store it .....how long before washing again .. will
the washing remove the chem.coating ?? need answers .. cost ...
waveman....why would someone go to the extreme level of cleaning a bike (as
shown here) and then ride it back out into the winter dregs? You do indeed
open up something that I completely missed.
I have a 2010 Multi with 30,000 miles. Put it up for three winters now.
Wash it. Add some Stabl. Hook up a battery tender. That's it. It still
looks like it did the day I rode it off the lot
For me it would be more interesting how to clean and protect all metal
parts from corrosion...in the video it looked like the acf 50 only comes on
the plastic parts...
Ride it, rinse it off with just water (soap/shampoo/degreaser will strip
the ACF50), do it all again after 12 months, £60 for the deep clean and the
treatment.
would be nice to see this done one a old dirtier bike, just so we can se
the full process as the guy at the end stated.....overall im off the
allyearbiker
