    Going to the Dark Side

    many moons ago I had a friend with a '66 427 Corvette- he put white vinyl fender flaps on it [with red reflectors].. last I heard he was in a Prius and never shuts up about his gas mileage...[stirring the pot boss]..[[the winter is long]].

    I have this one...takes a while to install and sort out but it works as good as the one in my car... https://www.amazon.com/Rostra-250-1223-Universal-Electronic-Control/dp/B007ZCQD9S you would need this too https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004GB3TL6/ref=psdc_15734171_t2_B007ZCQD9S

    Corrosion

    anytime my bike is parked near the coast [frequently] the rotors look like hell...guessing you are not too far from the salt water...[is anyplace in the UK ?] the silver coated calipers don't seem to be affected tho...I wash often with S100 cleaner which is the dogs bollocks.

    Pinlock misting

    pinlock tends to take the shape of the shield and lose it's "springiness" which keeps it pressed tightly against the shield...I take mine off during the winter and put it under a book to straighten it out...

    Enlarged Fifth Gear ?

    semantics indeed....my '58 Chevy with a 348 big block had overdrive which was actually underdrive...from hot rod Lincoln..."man alive, I kicked her on down into overdrive." put a 190/55 out back and call it a day......

    Wire Feed Welders

    I use a Lincoln 155 running on 240 . I use Lincoln flux core wire...different gauge can be used depending on the job...Clean spatter free welds result from proper amp and wire feed settings, Most of all, like the throttle on my '06, technique and practice is necessary..

    The Dudes Blues Primer

    Saw BB in the 80's too....A tiny wizened ancient black guy opened the show-walked up to the mike and ripped off riffs that must have opened Hendrick's eyes.. Loved the brass section too...big fat guys in tuxes...
