    A classic mini clubman, and time on my hands.

    Interesting article, thanks for the link. Of course the vacuum effect at the throttle plate has zero to do with manifold suction and everything to do with Bernoulli's principle and the venturi effect, which is what creates the pressure differential for the carb to atomise fuel in the first...

    A classic mini clubman, and time on my hands.

    You don't want your initial timing advanced at idle, there should be little to no vacuum advance. The old auto data digest would specify whether you set ignition timing with vacuum on or off, and would change the timing by a few degrees 5 or 10 or maybe a tad more. At high rpm but low load the...

    Ear Plugs for bikes.

    They moaned about poor fit and not staying put with vibration and movement. The hard ones are moulded for your ears, should be perfectly comfortable, unless you try to stick the left one in the right ear :)

    Ear Plugs for bikes.

    Ear institute, two visits required. They make a mould of your ear canals and send the moulds away for production. They will only fit your ear canals and are not even interchangeable left to right. Custom, perfect fit.

    Ear Plugs for bikes.

    I ride and fly with 26db, can still hear engine and gearbox noises etc, everything comes in at the same pressure (sound) level. Your helmet will further attenuate the sound level, no problems there either. Biggest plus factor is helmet wind noise at highway speed is gone. With the plugs in, you...

    Die Hel… In and Out?

    That's the hekkepad at Floriskraal dam 14 July. At the moment it's snowing on the Swartberg and pissing in the general vicinity. Riding time guesses are pure speculation based on previous experience, which means nothing. Get hold of Marinette Joubert from Gamkaskloof on FB for road condition...

    I can vouch for these - my snatchy throttle was driving me nuts, it's a different bike now, much more pleasurable ride. https://www.g2ergo.com/shop/g2-dirt-throttle-tamer-honda/?attribute_pa_model=crf300l-ls-rally-21-24

    BUT I AM YOUR CLIENT !

    Then you get those who want to bring their own parts for fitting during an overhaul or service. Can you take your own steak to a restaurant?? Piss off, don't come back, don't bring your scrap into my workshop

    Scramblers.

    Never mind black and white, we didn't have TV at all until '76. And the wireless was used for listening to Radio LM or Men from the Ministry. A scrambler was whatever you had in the garage, minus the mudguards, lights and mirrors. Even if it was your old man's bike and he was away on holiday
