Dr Downpipe Motorcycle Exhaust Cleaner – 500ML Spray Bottle. Yep another cleaning review again, and this time something a little different. Exhaust cleaning that comes in the form of Dr Downpipe spray cleaner. I been a follower of his work for a while and it was time I did some dedicated cleaning on this area, so placing my order via Amazon I hoped it would arrive quick, but no matter were you order it seems a week delay on it arriving. So placing my order and then booking the time in my head to do it at the following weekend …

Detailing Brushes

Pompey Learninated0 Comments

5 Piece Detail Brushes. Something cleaning related that I have not used before or needed too that’s now become a staple…. Yep the detailing brushes that car owners use more than us bikers, but is that all about to change. When having a good clean of your babies getting into the small awkward areas is something I always used a microfibre cloth with a thin piece of wood like a chop stick, or even a tooth pic just to do a deep down clean, but that’s now ended. With a decent set of detailing brushes you can pretty much cover …

Own a DiscLock ?

Pompey Learninated0 Comments

How many of you own a disc lock for your motorbike ?

Now how many of you spent a fair wad of money to get a decent branded lock to make it harder to nick your bike ?

Now where do you place that expensive lock on your bike … Front brake disc by any chance ?

I’ll bet you do, is the most common way us bikers lock our bikes up, but stop… don’t do that any more …..It can take just a few moments for a thief who comes prepared to just cut through your disc itself and remove it along with your lock and then just ride your bike away, but that’s not true of the rear sprocket, as they won’t be able ride the bike away without cutting through the lock itself, which for us bikers means we have not waste hundreds on a high end locks for them to not even need to cut it.

Pass and share this to your friends, and get the word out there.

Shark Helmets Evo One 2 – SHARK Evo-Es Endless Aka When it comes to Safety Helmets there is a huge range out there, not all are UK legal (DOT safety rating only) but the ones that are must meet with British Standard BS 6658:1985 and carry the BSI Kitemark and meet with UNECE Regulation 22.05.

SanDisk Range

SanDisk Extreme Portable Pro + SanDisk Extreme MicroSD. When it comes to storage one name should spring to mind, well it does for me, and that name is SanDisk. They cover us from SD, micro SD and hard drives and that’s what I use myself for my storage needs, and that’s what this review will cover… Two storage devices from the same company SanDisk and the first is my SanDisk Extreme 256 GB microSDXC Memory Card which I have for my GoPro hero Black 9. Fast reliable storage is needed for 4k video recording and so many fake unreliable cards …

RiderScan Mirror

RiderScan parabolic safety mirror. I brought this a fair while ago and was something I used on my scooter (Honda Forza 125cc) for a way to cover my blind spots more. The RiderScan is a parabolic mirror that is mounted to the centre front of a motorcycle/scooter, this then allows you to cover them blind spot without even having to take your eyes off what is in front of you. As you glance to the RiderScan everything in front of you remains in your peripheral vision, the horizontal curve gives the rider 180 degrees horizontal coverage while the vertical curve …

Autobead Spray Sealant. Talking care of your bike is a task I do every day, from the daily checks of bulbs, to break levels to working brakes, but for me its also keeping my bike clean and protected, and that’s were Autobead Sealant comes out to play. Once you have a clean bike using a good quality sealant to protect that paintwork for me is a must, and that now comes from a professional detailer (PADS – yep I also reviewed them). They brought this to my attention and since then its a stable in my cleaning resume. Just a …

IK Snow Foam

Goizper iK Foam Pro 1.5L – Foaming/Snowfoam Sprayer. Dirty bike is a no no for me, and that means I will spend loads on cleaning gear, in fact its a weak spot of mine….. This time its a snow foam solution from IK which I purchased last year and have used a good few times.  It’s a practical item that just covers enough to snow foam a single bike, and with a decent PH natural snow foam liquid it works well to give a real snow foam covering. What I like about the IK system is that it comes with …

Home made combat biking trousers. Project make my own Kevlar Jeans, well in my case try to… lol Well if you know me at all you all seen me in my black track suit style combats and that’s pretty much all I wear on my bike (cos it is so comfy and plus I am a Fat Bastard and hard to find dedicated bike sized clothing) so I thought why not make a motorcycle versions with all the protection like my matching motorcycle hoodie I also use. I did some researching about this idea and that started in the form …

Starbrite AutoXpert

Starbrite AutoXpert Waterless Wash. Winter equals wash time more I find, with all the salt on the roads and wet weather our bikes just get hammered with dirt, so cleaning is something most of us will do, and one cleaning solution is using a waterless wash, and the most recent one I have brought is this @Starbrite AutoXpert version.  Waterless wash is one of the better ways I find to clean my bike on a regular basis, of course when it comes to a real messy bike I will go to the snow foam side with buckets and hoses, but …
