Useful tips for motorcyclists of all ages (some are more useful than
others)
Check your tyre pressures weekly. They’re the most critical thing
to affect your bikes handling
UseWD40 to clean your bikes wheels just spray it on leave for 2-3
minutes and wipe off but be careful not to get it on your tyres and
discs
If you’ve just been knocked off your bike by a poxy car driver do
the right thing (if you are able) and floor the driver with your carbon
encrusted glove and if you are sued you can plead that you were dazed
and thought you were protecting yourself
Yamaha R1’s made in 2001 do wicked backfires if the standard exhaust
can is fitted. Just cruise along in third gear , close the throttle
and kill the switch for about 4-5 seconds then flick it back to live
again and kaboom. Best used in traffic or tunnels
A thin film of washing up liquid on the inside of your visor makes
a great antifog layer
If you forget your side stand plate and have to park on soft ground,
find an empty drinks can and put that under it.
Carry a camera when you ride so that if you come off your bike due
to poor road conditions (IE pot hole) you can take a picture and report
it.
