Listen while I explain it again Rob. Red ones daily, Green ones only when needed after a hard night at he pub and the experimental white ones only when you re feeling particularly psychotic. I am working on a new blue one. It's for an immediate cure of foot-in-mouth disease. It's still experimental but i think I will have enough opportunities to put it to the test here on the CC site. I will need to send it all round the world though??!!!

So.... where are we at? What has happened?

You say that she's very independent. She can only be that way because your not independent. Your dependent on her satisfaction, she knows this, and appears, from what your telling us, uses this. I could be way off base, just going with what you say. Last thing I would do is get her a bike, one spill or mishap and your to blame. This is a test on you, and she wants your undivided attention on the weekends.&n

Camera OK

From: Englissh
Description:

Hello from France.

Thank you UWE, for your input, I am lucky that Pamela and I have worked very hard in our life just up to when we could not go any further, then we get screwed with all the red tape and differences between where we lived the first half of our time to where we hope to finish our time. All we have got is ours, house, 2 cars and my Drag Star, we said that if push came to shove in France you could live on bread, cheese and wine, but we never take into account ill health and other stupid things like glasses and teeth which in France are classed as a lux not needed so the state dont help in a field which is already overpriced.

I am getting of the subject, ( sorry ). After readind UWE's input about the price of cams I was happy that he linked me to the German site of the French site where my cam cost only 49.99 euro, it was shown as a sports cam and after I solved the fixing problem and my first test all seems OK. I will get round to posting some roads round us, i am happy with the image but the sound is another mater as the microphone on the cam is underneath so it picks up a lot of wind rush round by the bars, but for the money I know have something else to play with and keep me busy during the day.

If anybody has got or has used the " Eagle 100 by Sumikon " I would like your input on this little cam as I am shure that I could do with some pointers although all you got to do is battery, sd card, switch on, choose quality and start and its away, maybe my AA's are too low powered or my SD card is too small or not of the right type, only somebody like you can help.

Enough of this rambling I will let you get back to something more interesting, like like like oh well you know better than me, I am lucky no one can come round and break my keyboard but if you think about it I am about 9 hours from the UK ( ferry included ) and about the same time from the only CCC member that I know of in France and she likes chinese food, so my rambling is safe for the moment.

I am open to all suggestions that could be repeated to a sober parish priest.

Keep the grey coming long and slow.

How to lift a fallen Motorcycl

From: daycaremama
Description:

How to Lift a Fallen Motorcycle

CAUTION

Picking up a motorcycle can be dangerous and cause serious injury if done incorrectly or under poor footing. A simple back injury could wreck your life! Always, always, always try to get help first—and remember, you don't want anybody else to get hurt, either. You need to think clearly, use common sense, and be in good physical condition. Keep your body and back straight, and lift only with your legs. Maintain control of the motorcycle and never twist your body while lifting. Check the motorcycle for damage prior to riding it again.

The majority of picking up a motorcycle is mental: Work smarter, not harder. Motorcycles are heavy machines. Think about how you want to do it first—if you were going to lift a 300-pound refrigerator, would you just run up and grab it and start muscling it around, or would you plan your attack? What would you do if you were going to lift an 800-pound refrigerator?

The ideal situation for lifting a motorcycle would be:

1. Have the lifting technique demonstrated by a qualified professional.

2. Practice with a qualified professional.

3. Have the qualified professional evaluate and coach your lifting technique.

Step 1: Assess Yourself

Take a few minutes to calm down. Seeing your bike lying on its side can be a traumatic experience, but it happens to everyone at one time or another. Your bike's not going anywhere without you. Spend a few minutes asking yourself questions and talking yourself through it: are you hurt? Are you able to pick up your motorcycle in a normal situation? Do you want to pick up your motorcycle? Is it safe to pick up your motorcycle? Etc., etc. You have the rest of your life to pick up your bike; take a few minutes to relax and assess the situation. It's best if you get help. And remember: if someone helps you, don't forget to warn them not to touch the hot exhaust pipe, not to lift by the turn signals, etc. Also make sure they lift correctly. You don't want someone else getting hurt.

Step 2: Assess the Environment

If you are in danger from other traffic, get away from your motorcycle and seek a place of safety. Let law enforcement respond and take control of the scene before picking up your motorcycle. Take a look at the ground: do you have a solid surface to lift from? Is there gravel? Is the pavement wet? Are you right next to a ditch? You don't want to slip and get pinned under your bike.

Step 3: Assess the Motorcycle

Turn it off using the engine cut-off switch or the ignition switch. Turn off the fuel using the fuel supply valve. Spilled fuel is common, so use caution (though usually you need sparks, flame, or an ignition source to have a fire or explosion.) If the motorcycle is lying on its right side, put the sidestand down and put the motorcycle in gear. If the motorcycle is on its left side, you can't put the side stand down and can't put the motorcycle in gear. Make a mental note of these facts. You don't want to pick up your motorcycle and then immediately drop it onto its other side! Techniques to Lift the Motorcycle—Preferred and Regular Methods

Technique I: Facing Away from the Motorcycle - For Large Motorcycles Preferred Method for any Size

1. Turn the handlebars to full-lock position with front of tire pointed downward.

2. Find the "balance point" of the two tires and the engine, engine guard, or footpeg. The motorcycle will be fairly easy to lift until it reaches this point because it's resting on its side. Once you start lifting from there, you are responsible for the most of the weight of the bike.

3. "Sit" down with your butt/lower back against the motorcycle seat. Be very careful to keep your back straight and your head up. Put your feet solidly on the ground about 12 inches apart, with your knees bent slightly.

4. With one hand, grasp the handgrip (underhand, preferably), keeping your wrist straight.

5. With your other hand, grip the motorcycle framework (or any solid part of the motorcycle), being careful to avoid the hot exhaust pipe, turn signals, etc.

6. Lift with your legs by taking small steps backwards, pressing against the seat with your butt and keeping your back straight. On slippery or gravelly surfaces this technique probably won't work. On inclined surfaces this can be very dangerous.

7. Be careful not to lift the motorcycle up and then flip it onto its other side! If possible, put the sidestand down and the bike in gear.

8. Set the motorcycle on its sidestand and park it safely.

Technique II: Facing the Motorcycle - For Small and Medium-Sized Motorcycles Regular Method

1. Turn the handlebars to the full-lock position with the front of the tire pointed skyward.

2. Find the balance point of the two tires and the engine, engine guard, or footpeg. The motorcycle will be fairly easy to lift until it reaches this point because it's resting on its side. Once you start lifting from there, you are responsible for the most of the weight of the bike.

3. Stand very close to the handlebars. Plant your feet about shoulder-width apart with the lower handgrip in between them. Use both hands to lift. Keeping your back straight and your head up, lift carefully, keeping the handgrip close to your body. Use your leg muscles for power, and not your back muscles.

4. Be careful you don't lift the motorcycle up and then flip it onto its other side.

5. Set the motorcycle on its sidestand and park it safely.

Hello from France.

Well I have found a camera over here on Ebay and it seems OK, its an EAGLE 100 by Somikon, basic cam with AA batts inside and up to 8 Go Sd card, can be used direct to the TV or PC via USB connection and well the price was less than 50 euro.

It has an elastic strap to fit it to your helmet but I don’t like that much, it comes with a tube fixing and that seems the best solution, got to work something out as my tests gave me a bad neck trying to keep up with the vibration of the cam.

The quality of image is very good for something a cheap as this, so lets get down to my posting, CAM v CAM, when you get pulled over by the police in a lot of places you are being filmed, so now when you talk to the occifer stand in front of your bike so that when he gives you a test of your helmet by hitting you as hard as he can with his riot stick you now have it on film, try improving the sound gain on your cam so when he starts talking about the married status of your mother and father you again have it on film.

When it goes to court and the occifer states his cam was not working well because he pulled the fuse, you can say “ ok judge you can watch my film if you want to”. You have fun and enjoy yourself, and as other people have said, once you start you cant really stop, I walked round the house filming, the garden and our village, must get it on the bike without all the vibration. If somebody has the same I would love to know how you fixed yours as I have seen a clip with it used on a BMX coming down a mountain side with the exception when the guy fell over the side all was good, I sent him a mail but he has not replied yet ( maybe injured or dead )

Keep the Grey coming long and slow.

ISO Grip Test Fit

From: manybikes
Description:

Here it is... the Doctor update. I broke my Scaphoid bone... and according to the Dr. it has super poor blood flow and thus is one of the bodies slowest healing bones. This bone takes 6-12 (12 being the norm) in a CAST!

The Dr. says riding will not prohibit healing, if I can comfortably do it in the cast, I can't hurt the healing....

So... the KY ISO grip comes out... the cast fitter molded my cast around my Kuryakyn ISO grip!

Here it is!

New Springs

From: petevulcan
Description:

Progressive Springs 412 series fitted last 2 weeks 10.10.09, removal and installation was real easy if u can find the right sleeve that goes into the hole on top of springs, somehow i notice my bike have a different screws that hangs on the frame of the bike, the nut used is rather large, gotta use a 22mm box wrench remove and install the springs and the nuts looked ugly. When i checked for nuts that featured in most of OEM catalogue it would show both the top and bottom nuts that secure the springs are of same size, searched 1986 to 2006 models non match my bike, weird.

The ride was much improved but have not find the right setting for the new shocks, have to wait till other parts arrive to do more riding. Order a pair of mirrors, overlooked the adapters, cant fit. Currently, bike without mirror. Ordered adapters with other things, overlooked the adapters again instead of 1 pair the ordered came out 1 unit. Put in another order, costly and time wasted (since i gotta reship to M'sia). Same problem happened last order put in order for 2 horn cover only 1 unit was delivered and biiled.

So bike hanging as unfinished business. Cant wait to get my new jacket River Road Hoodlum, complete my mirrors and horn assemblies. Get out and ride and test the spring/shocks.

Will add picture once completed the current project.

Need more stuffs?????
