 Posted: 21:17 - 06 Jul 2013  Post subject: A few questions |
 |
|
Got a bit of money together, and looking at getting some other gear and doing my test. Trying to keep the gear on a low budget side, and i've found these two on ebay. I've got a leather jacket already, so really just need the trousers, as i'm currently using jeans, but wouldn't mind some full textiles.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mens-Reissa-Cordura-Textile-Waterproof-Motorbike-Motorcycle-Trousers-Pants-/120925746537?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Trousers&var=&hash=item1c27bc7569
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROXTER-WATERPROOF-TEXTILE-ARMOURED-MOTORCYCLE-TOURING-JACKET-TROUSER-2-PIECE-KIT-/380587907092?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Clothing&var=&hash=item589cce9814
What do you thinkof them? Heard of them? Had them? A bit too cheap to be any good?
Also, tank bags, looking for a bit of storage up front, and somewhere waterproof to hide a satnav. Need something small enough to fit on the ybr, but big enough for a decent amount of storage. Was thinking somewhere along the lines of this:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OXFORD-FIRST-TIME-7L-LITRE-MAGNETIC-MOTORBIKE-MOTORCYCLE-LUGGAGE-MINI-TANKBAG-/190804389128?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item2c6cd3ed08
And then satnav charging on your bike. Will this do the job?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-Motorbike-Handlebar-Mount-12V-Power-Socket-Charger-GPS-SATNAV-NEW-/190843143197?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item2c6f23441d
Does it need be a certain type to work with certain bikes, or is this okay?
Lastly, training courses. Say for example i took the 5 day option, is it 5 days training and then you do your mod1 & mod2 on a 6th day, or 5 days all in all and you do your tests on the 5th day?
Sorry for all the questions, and thanks in advance.

VERY EXPENSIVE
I bought a ciggie lighter like this from Wilco, a local car parts place for £2.99. Make sure you get the one with the weatherproof cap.
I cut the end off and attached two wires, one red and one black. On the end of those I attached round end connectors.
If you want, put in an inline fuse along the red wire
Put the red over the +tve terminal and the black on the -tve terminal and you now have the exact same thing for about £5. I also think its more fun if you make it yourself.
Over the weekend Im trying a slightly different project. Its the exact same thing except that you have the phone charger instead of the ciggie lighter. This means that I have a ciggie lighter AND a dedicated phone charger.
EDIT - Here is the ciggie lighter

Gear looks okay ghostbikes arent a bad supplier. However id ask them to confirm the jackets got a back protector and also confirm its ce approved and not just the elbow shoulders, as the jacket wont be good value if its got a sh-tty foam back pad and you have to fork out for a seperate back protector  |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 13 years ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
