Hi there fello bike fiends, Here are three tips which you may or may not already use but may help you at a time of need If your'e like me and do a lot of your miles out on your own,1/ Carry a witness camera under your seat. What is it, well its a cheap disposable camera from your local chemist which in the unfortunate event of you, or a mate, having a coming together with another motor vehicle, can take a few snap shots of the scene which you can use later to assist your claim either with an insurer or in a court of law. Its hard evidence to ignore. ( You can also use it to snap that horny blonde waitress at the cafe when shes putting her lipstick on, flippin heck man, slappa)
2/ Carry a can of tyre weld under your seat or elsewhere so that in the unfortunate event that you get a puncture you at least have half a chance of getting home. Halfords had some very small ones designed for (sounds daft) mopeds so theyr'e easy to carry and will put about 25psi into a 190 section rear tyre. ( yes I know you run 42psi so carry two)
3/ Carry a wet sponge. How?, get a tennis ball, (Tin Henman may loan you a one but dont tell him what its for) If you cant contact him try your local sports shop. Cut the top third from the ball with a sharp knife, watch your fingers you younger ones reading this, and drill a hole in the bottom and mount to your fairing frame with a cable tie. Find a nice sponge, cut a chunk off, you younguns could use a piece of your bath sponge prehaps, wet it and you will always be able to clean those pesky bugs off your visor. Sorted no more double vision.
Watch this space for some more great tips from 'Bronxy's book on biking for the under 90's' written by my good self, available at all good boot sales soon.
