Ally Pally?

So did anyone go? I did and got a few things to say. Please bare with me, it`s late, been working my ar&e off for ...... forever and just opened my second bottle of wine (don`t laugh i like the odd bottle!) Anyway went to the Superbike Ally Pally show n it was quite good, got fed up of all the scantily clad women getting in the way of all the stuff i wanted to see but i got over it!

Had a chat with our friends in blue and spoke about exhausts/number plates, yes i know there`s already a thread, anyway was told what i already suspected. Most likely reason for a pull is a dodgey number plate and the met police don`t have a decible meter . On this forum was told 87 decibles @ 4500rpm legal limit, mine 87 decibles @ idle


His advice, dip clutch or knock it up a couple of gears when u go past any boys in blue. My plate is legal size just well tucked away hope that helps.

The other thing is i desperately needed a new lid, 25mph, diesel, you get the idea


So bought a Shark S500 AIR, good looking lid, comfy, a little noisey but gold rated, £90, bargin? (fiances are tight) A worrying thing happened. While transversing my private test track ahem M4 ahem, 124, life saver to the left, VISOR FLIPPED OPEN and closed shut when i brought my head forward!!! happened so fast didn`t worry to much but will it happen again??

All Shark helmets are covered by a 5 year warranty (including the visor). If you are in any doubt, go to your local dealer (or the dealer you bought it from) and ask for it to be checked.

Failing that, come and see me and I'll get it checked for you.

My Arai does that if i dont lock the visor. My cheap Tackachi(or however you spell it) does it as well, and that dont have a lock.

Cheers jo, where you at? finishing work early tomorrow so was thinking of goin for a ride somewhere

Just a thought: how far did you travel during the time it took to do your lifesaver?

a yard or 2 124mph, couple of seconds for lifesaver = ? there wasn`t any other testers on the track in front of me
