Wash Mitt – Sponge

Pompey Learninated0 Comments

Microfibre wash mitt and sponge. Yep one of them things everyone needs when cleaning their dirty little bikes 😀 under a fiver and just a simple and effective way to remove dirt. Not a huge amount one can say, being microfibre these are really soft to use and don’t tend to scratch your paintwork, the mitt is a little small for large hands but it still allows a great way to clean your items, the sponge is very firm ands great for larger areas so more suited for cars than bikes I found, the mitt works great. For under £5 …

Muc Off Bike Cleaner

Muc Off Bike Cleaner 5L and cleaning spoke brush. Wanting to find something that would help and make my job of cleaning my bike easier I wanted something that I could spray and leave on and then rinse off and would clean my bike well. Doing my due diligence I did some research online and one of the names that kept coming up was Muc-Off and their nano tech cleaning products. Now looking into what been said about them I thought they could be the one to try but they are not the cheapest cleaning solution out there, but with …

Liquid Ceramic Coat

Pompey Learninated0 Comments

9H Car Ceramic Coating, 30ml Liquid Ceramic Coating. This stuff is being called different names but they all seem to show the same thing, the TV advert that shows someone cleaning half there car in this stuff and then throws mud over it and it beads off and the muds slides off, while the other half that’s not treated the muds remains on the bonnet looking such a mess. Loving this idea as being such a clean freak, I went a bought some, reading the instruction it says basically to clean your vehicle as normal and then once clean use …

Oxford Ground Anchor

Pompey Learninated1 Comment

Oxford Products Ltd Brute Force Ground Anchor (OF439). Like my chain this comes with a Sold Secure Silver rating which can help reduce your insurance. I wanted to make sure I used an anchor system with my bike but instead of being used direct on to the ground I wall mounted mine as this works better for my location. The ground anchor is really well made, I have hammer tested this and it holds without any issue, even the paint took a good beating before it chipped. It comes with the main anchor side, 2 bolts and 2 ball bearings …

Yamaha Motor MT125

Yamaha Motor (UK) Ltd MT125 2020. AristiA (Mrs Pompey Learninated) Review of this bike From the day. I collected my MT-125A she has been a reliable and highly enjoyable bike. My very first thoughts were that I wouldn’t be comfortable with it and I think if I had given her a test ride I may not have bought her. The handlebars felt very low, the clutch has a long travel and she felt very light. When I arrived home from the 50 mile journey, my thumbs were sore and the seat’s firmness had taken its toll but as with any …

Oxford HD Chain lock 2m

Pompey Learninated1 Comment

Oxford HD Chain lock 2m (Oxford OF160) Sold Secure Rating. I paid just under £40 for this setup, you can get them cheaper for different sizes but I wanted a longer 2m length on the chain so I could wrap it round more areas if needed, plus with my planned anchor point I needed to make sure it would reach. The chain itself is Hardened 9.5mm square link chain, which I will say seems really strong and comes with a cover over the chain itself to make sure it does not scratch when using it. The lock it comes with …

Oxford Boss Lock

Oxford Big Boss Alarm Lock (Oxford OF4) Thatcham Approved Vehicle Security (16mm version). This is part of my lock system I use at home to secure my bike, All three parts (Anchor, Chain and Lock) are from the same known brand “Oxford”. Unlike my other 2 parts this comes with a Thatcham Approved rating which does reduce your insurance, unlike the others which are Sold Secure. After my issues with my original lock, I decided it was worth investing in something that would not only give the highest strength Oxford offered in locks, but it was also an alarm system …

SJCAM M20+ Camera.    Time for a new review and this time I am going to go over my SJCAM M20+ helmet cam I use for my videos on this and my youtube channel.   Now with using a helmet cam to capture my footage there is just so many different cam’s now out there and I am guessing we all stick to what we know and trust. I spent hundreds on GoPro system and they just so fussy with the memory cards its unreal, so much so I gave up and went back to the tried and tested SJCam …

Bar Ends Protectors

Pompey Learninated0 Comments

Bar end protectors, handguards. I ordered these a while ago for my Forza, the packaging was cheap, (and cost of item £8) but the quality is pretty good, no it’s not the greatest but for the price yer above my expectations. From my readings for my bike the stock bar ends screws are a little troublesome to remove, but I used a cloth and mole grips to get a good grip on the bar ends and then used an electric screwdriver and turn the bar ends with the mole grips at the same time which made it really easy to …
