Was outside my sister house last night and she lives on a corner plot where a lot of people (chavs init bruv) try and drift round the corner.

Ive seen better attempts from my 70 year old Grandad in his electric powered wheel chair to be honest

Any way a few bikes decided to join in and neither of them were wearing any real protection just helmet t shirt trainers and jeans.

My sister friend turns up just as one of these bikes comes up to the corner

I made a comment about how much it would hurt if they fell off and i would laugh so hard if they did..............................

And Boom!!!! He stakes it big time right in front of us and slides a few yards down the road.

Maybe this one at least will think about wear something a bit more protective as judging by the way he was holding his arm and the rep you Ozzy guys have I would have said it hurt like f**k!!!!!!

well...finish the story...did you laugh so hard?? or did you go running to help?

cause if i'd stacked it and somebody laughing at me i'd slap 'em lol :D

If he had been wearing the correct protective wear and not tearing up and down the damn road trying to showing off I would have been a bit more sympathetic

Just like to now what they think might happen when there bear skin makes contact with the tarmac at 50 60 70k cheese grater salt and lemon to the cock would be a 1000 times better i would think but alas its not cool is it????

Sorry to say it but you can only laugh at complete morons

reminds me of some twat in the safeway carpark on chapel st. P plater in a 180sx flogging it round with his mate n some underage slappers as passengers. He comes round the corner hard, around the speed humps, tries to rip a handbrake to stop next to a 4WD n bang ran straight into it. I sorta felt bad for him when he started crying but then I remembered how funny it was n kept laughing

agreed. Some people think because they see someone fall off and are on a bike then they for some reason deserve more sympathy. Not me! If they are acting like tools then they deserve what's coming to them, same goes for a person in the same situation in a car. And I have no sympathy for any bike rider that gets on a bike in anything less than kevlar jeans or proper bike riding gear (read leathers or soft shells) the amout of times I see douches riding around in shorts, t-shirts (or singlets) and runners is rediculous, sometimes they still wear their gloves!

I know it can be hot out there some days but to me, getting on a bike without the right gear is like getting in a car and driving it with no seatbelt, sure you're fine if nothing happens but the minute you get hit or hit something, you're getting creamed! Should be a law against it IMO

got a mate who rides n he never goes out without the Kevlar jeans, boots n jacket. He told me he'd rather arrive dripping in sweat rather than in a body bag. I was considering a bike but being witness to several bikes being cleaned up by cars recently has changed my mind

Did you film it?

Videos of squids hurting themselves is usually hilarious. For instance:

No throttle control, terrible balance and only waring helmet and gloves.

here's an even funnier one, great music to go with it too lol.

A couple of years ago I saw someone pulling a long mono on a high powered bike. He was screaming through the gears and was doing over 150 (60 zone) when he flew past me. (I was walking). A ute coming the other way started a right turn. The bike would have been 100 metres away when he started to turn. Still mono-ing, he hit so hard that it spun the ute 90 degrees.

It took me half a minute to walk up. The poor bastard in the ute was in shock and was just getting out. I stepped over the guy on the bike/ground, to go and console the guy driving the ute and to say I would be a witness. I didn't even look at the POS on the ground. Later, I was disappointed to discover that he didn't die. But he was paralysed. From what the cops said, his driving/riding record was pretty spectacular.

Dude, ouch. You might want to go talk to someone, you sound like a sociopath.

If I am then I'm happy to be it. I've ridden bikes for years, and owned a Ducati at the time. I can't stand riders like this. Saturday morning, main drag, 60 zone. Anyway, I assumed him to be dead and was more concerned with the poor driver who looked....began to make a safe turn....and couldn't work out where the bike had come from.

If it's a sin to have no concern for people who happily endanger the lives of others and then ruin their own lives, mark me as guilty.

(and btw, I'm not sure sociopaths go out of their way, to offer to be witnesses. If I hadn't, the driver could have been accused of making a dangerous turn, which he did not.)

I would have will do the same thing and had it not been for someone that had done this for me i would not be here today after a 100mph head on crash that left me trapped in a car while it burnt around me and my friend

What made me laugh was the guy actually said to the police on the phone after he put the flames out ÿes theres another casualty but i couldn't careless about him as he coursed the crash.

What an idiot! I would laugh at him! He deserves it. People who ride without gear don't deserve to have skin, they are that stupid.

Unless I have been going at a walking pace, I have NEVER not worn gear on a bike. As we say: All the gear, all the time.

    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
