Re: Pre-Load and Damping
In very simple terms pre-load and damping are used to take the 'bounce' out of your suspension.

So somewhere in between is where you w...

Re: Why do some men fight
Don't be intimidated. Easy for me to say I know but I had a neighbour like that and I stood up to him, then other neighbours joined in and he finally calmed down and moved house! Any luck you'll get an apology and the fairing repaired now the heat of the moment has passed. Things like that make me s...

Re: The difference a little bit of foam makes.
I personally cant stand anything in my ears, hence I dont/cant wear earplugs. There's more than one type of disposable earplug. The ones with rounded ends really irritate my ears because they seem to have to go in further to work. The blunt end barrel shaped ones suit me better because they seem to...

Re: France bans the use of headsets.
What difference talking to a passenger in a car sitting next to you (visual distraction too) and one sat on a bike behind you through an intercomm? Listening to something through head/ear phones is very immediate and personal. Firstly it blocks out other sounds to a large extent so your attention i...

Re: Election
Ha! Whimps. If I quit every time I under-achieved I'd have a new job every week :dry: I guess the overall signal from the party leaders is: if I can't beat Cameron and this Tory party then I must be no good. I hope Cameron doesn't run away with the idea it's a vote of confidance to him or we could e...

Re: Election
the Tories become near enough impossible to beat. For many years the Scottish vote has propped up the Labour party and provided members of the cabinet in disproportionate numbers to the size of their vote. You would have thought Scotland would have been well catered for under Labour. By my calcs if...
