Re: Some advice please?

Slightly off-topic, but where are you looking at the bike? I ask because I px'd my old bike (green zx6r c1h) at Irelands at the beginning of the month...if you are not looking at it consider it.

In the bike no, because as far as I am aware the ignition timing is fixed, so the higher octance fuel (with a greater resistance to detonation) cannot be exploited, so the power will stay the same. In the car yes, becuase it has knock sensors and will retard the ignition (decreasing power) if I use ...

I don't stay in Taunton though...

TBH didn't realise there was one there - thought the nearest one was Bristol/Plymouth.

Hein Gericke for the North Devonians

I know there aren't many of us but...

I have discovered that when I go to Cardiff with work I stay in a B&B just round the corner from the HG shop, so if anyone wants anything picking up give me a shout and I will try to help out.

As Speedy points out it is the wind noise that does the damage - the longer you subject your ears to the noise the greater the damage. I have pretty good hearing because I have always taken care to use ear defs or plugs (depending on circumstances). I find that it is very easy to get used to ear plu...
