Bits & Bobs (led Signals And Tail Tidy)

Samuel nice to have you back once more, maybe you should introduce yourself in the NEWBIE section again
Only messing with ya, good to have you back, sure someone will answer your question shortly

 

Bloody hell....hello stranger
Don’t know about the tail tidy but when I changed the indicators on my BPOS I had to get an adjustable relay to make them work

You going to the GMU?
It’s at Bellingham again this year

 

Hi Billy, long time no speak??!! For the indicators you will need to change the flasher relay for one that works with LED indicators.

To locate the relay, turn ignition on put your indicators on and listen for the regular 'ticking' sound - it's usually under the lh side panel but the sound will guide you.

Take the old relay out, plug the new one in and you're good to go............

Samuel, that’s the same tail tidy as I have on my thruxton and it’s been through 2 mots.

 

There leaving like rats from a sinking ship

 

I'm very sure wherever you are sam you'll be oK you have the gift of the gab.

PS - before you ask Sam (gift of the gab - means your a man of many beautiful words, that would get you out of any difficult situation or even - ( START A MOTORCYCLE )

 

Apparently the Gendarmes have started use what we used in Northern Ireland, a version of rubber bullets. If you see the violence aimed at them you can understand they need something to protect themselves with.

 

That's very interesting sam. I never knew that to be honest.

 

Yes but the vast majority of the 500+ injuries and 10 deaths occurred before the gendarmes started using the "Flash ball" riots rifles.

I have 2 main thoughts about the Gillets jaunes protests:

1. In these days of Twigger, Faceache etc etc there is no need to to get out on the streets and hold the country to ransom. If the same amount of protesters were to e-mail their representatives on a daily basis there would have Millions of messages bombarding the government. No disruptions to the public, no deaths and injuries, no confrontations between the forces of law and order, the Gillets Jaunes and the far right.

2. The Gillets Jaunes started out with a complaint about the rise in the price of fuel; this evolved into a range against the cost of living. They have achieved all that they asked for, but continue to complain. The have won - and still they complain.

They gave a wonderful umbrella under which the far right could hide, riot and destroy one of the most beautiful cities in the world, the videos flooding round the world in seconds, damaging the tourism up to and including Christmas.

Many business were hit hard before Christmas losing between 50 - 80% of their trade during the riots, some have failed and employees have lost their jobs.

We need to use all of the communication channels available not just the "storming the barricades" mentality, to alter government policy and MP/Senator/Deputy actions.

 

Cocktail shakers

 

They'll be doing that here if Brexit doesn't happen
