Ride n Rock

A quick note for you ear plug users, have you ever thought of listening to music or the radio or your favourite podcast?

I’ve tried a few of the better quality in-ear headphones and by far the best combination of sound quailty and comfort are the Sennheiser CX 300 II….

The soft rubber creates a seal to your ear cutting out as much noise as ear plugs, although at motorways + speeds, the wind noise can make it little hard to hear voices but music is still fine.

A few of us have been using them for a couple of years now, they are really tiny, I have no problem when taking my Aria off, where every other pair I have had get yanked out.

FZ-1 Main Relay

Saturday, August 13th, 2011

On the way home yesterday the Fazer lost power with a very strong burning plastic smell. After pulling over and whipping the main fuse out. It turned out the was a great hole in the side of the main relay.
All dealers were quoting 3-5 days and it costs the both of us £30 each per day on the train. A swift search of ebay pointed us to a second-hand part from BikeSpeeduk it arrived today.
Here’s hoping it fixes it, the dash has been out of action for a while as well so we are hoping it will fix that too. Would be nice as first MOT is due next month!

UPDATE: Relay only fixed ignition, oh well *sigh*
