    I had a Virago 1100 very nice bile. A little over engineered, as in somewhat finicky when working on it.

    CL500 C215 Brake Discs and Pads Recommendations

    I've used EBC red stuff on my Jag XF. Good performance and a lot less dust than OEM.

    Made my day

    The owners manual for my 1992 Subaru SVX actually states you should wash the car once a week. :cool:

    I have 1 3/4 of those lovely Titan 500 Suzuki's. My first bike; 1970 T-500 III which I attempted to rebuild about 20 years ago. Bought a second one from a breaker's along with an extra engine. Got the engine out and rebuilt but never got it back in the frame. Must get back at that project.

Tests have shown that worn out tires with that symbol offer better traction and stopping than new all season tires in cold...

    Tyre Sealant

    I used the goop on a regular tire (not run flat) after getting a flat from driving over a screw. Left the screw in and drove 120 km home. Got the tire repaired the next day and the tire fitter couldn't have cared less about the goop. The goop is evened out by centrifugal force after initial...

    Uneven wear on inner edges

    Front to back if directional, Cross X pattern otherwise. I'd forgotten that many Merc have staggered offset which you obviously don't rotate front to back.
