Without a doubt ,Oxford clock thermometer .
Bought one of these and went for a ride ,it got a little damp and a little cool ...damn thing quit on me

So I thought 'faulty item ' and nice bike shop gave me a new one ... sweet

Went for another ride , maybe a little humid and warm , or even cold .
Nothing a 'motorcycle clock' shouldnt be able to handle .
And the damned thing quit on me

So I pulled it apart and I could find NOTHING that proctected the electronics from the elements !! wtf ?
This is suposed to be a motorcycle accessory .
Anyway nice motorcycle shop gave me my money back and I spent it on something useful ...like beer , which worked fine ,both in the rain and the sun

and who gives a fook what the time is .

yeah a 98 rm that turned out to be a 96 was dissapointing. I spent twice what I paid on it fixing it. I could have just got a new bike for all the trouble i went through.

Live and learn.....

Oil cap for klx - oem is flat blade to screw & got a 14mm alloy one, alloy to soft and thread was peeling, lasted one oil change.
I have those guards on the husky, from prev owner, i was sceptical & branches can hurt, they do deflect 90+% I reckon, so I am happy enough, got well roosted today no dramas, no rocks that I noticed mind you.
