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

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.

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 …

I did some researching about this idea and that started in the form …

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 …

Hayatec Ultrasonic Animal Warning Whistle Device. This is one of the items I have had on my list for a while to buy, specially with the country side rides I do and a few of the New Forest rides as a group we set up over on @Pompey Motorbike Meets. It’s a real simple and cheap device that produces a Ultrasonic noise and a whistle which scare animals away which helps to stop animals like deers from running into you and traffic on the roads.  The amount of rides over the years through the amazing country sides and you see …
