When taking the mother in law, wife and sister in law out shopping on Saturday, a guy on a motorbike came up alongside me shouting something and pointing at the back of his head. Well at first i thought, this guy is a little nuts, it wasnt until he moved his helmet and shouted SIDC that i realised what he was on about, i couldnt see it when he was pointing at the back of his head but when he drove off i noticed the SIDC sticker.

Top bloke, what a nutter

The funny thing is my mother in law thought we were being hijacked
If it was you, it really improved a day which was going down hill, bike sounded great by the way

 

Is Lom The Bomb back on his feet?

 

Lom The Bomb??

 

it wasnt me i was in kent working

 

Sounds like Lom...haven't seen him 4 ages! He's like humpty dumpty...they keep putting him back together again!

 

same thing happend to me in breacon on saturday, some biker bangs on the window then points to the sidc sticker on his lid, i was parked up so had a little chat it was Raiden, he mentioned he'd seen a wr1 with s204 wheels that goes to the meets now ive seen this it must have been you

 

Ye it has to be the same guy, think he was on a Suzuki but not 100% sure, it was blue anyway. Im like a woman when it comes to bikes

 

yeah blue bike that was him, top bloke think he said he might make the meet on thursday. hows those brakes mate what do you think of them?

 

dont think it would be lom as he wrote his bike off when a car pulled out in front of him on a bend and was in hospital for a while,and last time i spoke to him he said he wouldnt get another bike again.

 

They look great behind the new wheels but they dont stop as well as i was expecting to tell the truth. Dont get me wrong, they are good, just not what i expected. At least the car stops now though

They are 40-50% worn so i will probably see the biggest difference when i get uprated discs and pads, but i may as well use up whats on these for the time being.

Maybe the next time we are both at the same meet you can give my car a quick blast to see how you find them. I wont be at this weeks meet as i have to take a load of kids to watch Stomp in Cardiff

Did you see much difference with yours?

 

It all makes sense now. I'll discipline him for his unruly behaviour when I see him in work!

 

was expecting more to be honest, think i need to change the pads even though they are brand new, anybody got any good suggestions dont mind them being dirty or noisy

 

I've just changed the pads to mintex 1155 on my brembo's along with the fluid to DOT5.1, The old pads didn't need changing they still had about a 1/3 of the pad left even after 20K use (mostly motorway) I was bleeding the brakes and thought I may as well change them.

The mintex squeek more but stop miles better, (still on standard discs)

 

I have got Ferodo DS 2500's in my Brembos on standard discs with braided hoses and they are great.

 

Since we are on discs and pads, can anyone recommend a full set of discs with rough prices. Im kind of already decided on pads, probably Mintex or ferodo. From what i can gather there isnt a large difference between them, or am i wrong?

 

As a comparison, I have just changed the Wife's MX-5 pads for Kevlar EBC's for £50 all in! Makes me cry..................

 

mintex for me

with some black diamond grooved disc's,disc's £150 pads £30 a lot better than standard
but i will be looking for a four pot set up
