Michelin Pilot Power 2CT and Michelin Pilot Power Recall

"Because customer safety is its primary concern, and as a precautionary measure, Michelin asks any rider with front tyres 120/70 ZR17 Pilot Power 2CT and 120/70 ZR17 Pilot Power Made in France (visible on the tyre's sidewall) to call 0800 454 774 to arrange for a free of charge replacement, whatever the wear on the tyre." Further details see this page. Thanks to Northerngit for the info. [Submitted by Farjo] Farjo Wednesday 18 July 2007 - 22:06:15 Read/Post Comment: 0

Location Map

You might have noticed the new 'All New Location Map' link at the top of the forums above the banner. This is for the Foccers Location Map from Rubbermat. The two main changes from his original one are that foccers can maintain their own locations and that only those on the active users list appear on the map. This will mean that it will be updated more often and will not be cluttered by those who have left the board. Click the link and add your nearest TOWN/CITY and the FIRST BIT OF YOUR POSTCODE. Only the first 4 characters of your postcode will be stored - a full postcode will locate your stealable bike to just a few houses! If you were on the old map your details from it will be shown - however you must re-enter them to appear on the map. There's also a button to view the maps as they stand (they will fill out as people add their locations) so you will be able to see who is in your area. There is also the facility to see a map of a foccer's rough location, the weather forecast for their area and even send them a message. I'm sure the whole board would like to thank Rubbermat for all the time he has spent on the many aspects of this useful tool. If you have any comments please let one of us know.

As it turned out, Phil was already there and told us that Kev had left his read more And also a write up of the FZ1S vs CBF1000 vs FZS1000 from the Ivan Meister MikeGTX2002. You lucky, lucky bastard ! Just a few of the kinder words posted when I beat the stampeding hordes and got myself invited to join the 'Bike' team for a week-long comparison test of the new Yamaha FZ1S Fazer, the also-new Honda CBF1000 and Yamaha's original FZS1000 Fazer. I guess being an early rising, semi-retired pool guy living on the read more HellDesk Monday 01 May 2006 - 12:51:24 Comments are turned off for this item
