    Removing brown stains from aluminium?

    You could try some Jeyes Fluid on the stains. It contains mild carbolic acid and works quite well if the dirt isn't too ingrained. P .

    Wanted: CO2 gas bottle for MIG welding.

    Does anyone have a spare CO2 bottle knocking about that they'd like to turn into ready cash? I don't like the idea of paying rental on an item that I only use once in a blue moon, so am looking to buy a bottle to buy, that I can use at leisure and take for a refill when required. Anyone? P .

    Changing the colour of your GSA....?

    Not anymore. It's based on the camo used by US forces in Gulf War 1, also known as 'chocolate chip' or 'US Desert 6 colour camo', it was first used around 1980 or so. It was phased out by the introduction of new desert cam around 1993/4. In Gulf War 2 (Operation Iraqi Freedom) it was issued...

    Bike Accidents. Cage vs. Bike?

    We find a very similar situation in Skydiving - it's not the appy jumpers that burn in, it's the 200 - 400 jump 'skygods' that bounce. They get windgat and complacent, think they know everything, and start pushing the boundaries and taking chances. I've been riding (on the road) since 1985...

    Fined for lane splitting?

    Obviously no white Camry in this neighbourhood. Or dudes selling stuff between the cars at traffic lights either, for that matter! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XihQeZpwqpE P .

    Intelligent battery chargers - OptiMate, CTEK, etc.

    I have 2 Optimate 3's (for the bikes) and 2 Bentons - a BX-1 and a BX-2 for the Audi and the Cruiser respectively. The BX-2 is well worth the money - Bike2Bike have them for sale at much less than the C-Tek. P .

    How long have you been riding?

    Started riding in 1980 - seems like a lifetime ago... First bike was an old 'banana pipe' MR 50, progressing through various IT's, PE's, XT's, RMX's and KDX's. Road bikes have always been Kawasaki - GPZ 550, GPZ600R, ZXR636's. Now on R1200GS and ZXR636R. P .

    Battery Recharger

    Your 2 best options locally are OptiMate 3 (I have 2, 1 on each 'bike) or Benton BX-1 (Benton is similar to the C-Tek range, but at half the price). I have a Benton BX-2 on my Land Cruiser, which is their top-off-the-range model, with more options/versatility than the BX-1. I also work...
