    So?
    I have an XS1100 yammy, which I would not have today, if it was not for the dry powder fire extinguisher I always keep in my garage.
    A carburetor fire was put out in seconds, with minimal damage. It could have been the entire garage.
    For those of us that work on our own bikes in the back shed, I can never understate the importance of having a good dry powder extinguisher in your work zone,
    Not on the wall behind the cage, but in your work zone, If you have not got one, this is a good time to get one.
    I would think that every race bike owner has at least one sitting there in the pits beside the tool box..."just in case."
    I have had a "just in case"....it could have left me without a ride....
    Be safe on the road with your bike, and safe in your garage with it as well.

    If the rust pitting was over 10% of the wall thickness the cylinder was comdemned and or a weight loss check would be done. We had the profile gauges and the manufacturers specs to go by. If I felt a cylinder was not in a dangerous state, I'd be arguing with the towelhead who owns the sv stn.

    I was meaning the geological products weren't motorbike related but yes, dry powder extinguishers are filled with geologically related minerals so it's all good.

    Yeah, I can see how you'd get the two confused.

    One is starting a thread specifically advertising his business and claiming that his competition is ripping their customers off.

    The other is making someone, who has specifically asked about buying a helmet, aware of an offer on a helmet being sold at below cost price.

    Shit-for-brains.

    Got my 4.5kg ABE locally for $150, dunno if shipping on them (is there an extra charge for shipping a pressurized vessel?) would leave much change out of the 20 bucks saved.

    Nice one with a big white sticker patch on it so you can white-board marker on the next service due date.

    You got a fair price and with shipping mine would not be a whole lot cheaper, maybe $10. My supplier has a very good freight deal and I can deliver extinguishers to the South Island for between $12 - $18.

    Multiple orders, I can do better pricing.

    Following my car accident thar has left me with permanent disablilities making me unemployable, I re-started an old business I ran in the '90's selling a range of Fire safety equipment and torches. As I rehabilitated and recovered I was able to gradually build it up and took on the batteries in Jan. 2011.

    While the batteries have really taken off and are now a significant percentage of my business the other side has also grown and doing well. I am in partnership with NZ's oldest and one its largest fire equipment supply companies, looking after their smaller commercial customers and the consumer market while they concentrate on the big corporations such as the NZ Fire Service, Forestry, Military and larger Fire Security firms.

    This means I have access to the best prices on the best ranges of all types of fire safety equipment, clothing and supplies, as well as the noted Pelican and Streamlight brands of portable lighting, including everything from mini key-chain torches to Remote Area Lighting, (RAL's), and search lights. Along with the Pelican and Nanuk ranges of protective cases, I can cover a lot of commercial and private requirements.

    No doubt this will be seen as shameless promotion by some, but over the years I have seen a lot of people and companies charged very high prices that border on profiteering and misinformation in order to make a buck. For example in servicing and certifying fire extinguishers, the regs are that domestically there are no regs, you can have a fire extinguisher hanging around indefinitely and you don't HAVE to get it checked or serviced at any time. For commercial use you must get them checked annually and serviced including a pressure test every five years. The annual check is basically a visual check to make sure it is still up to pressure and undamaged. Most service companies are charging around $30, but should only be about $20 in my opinion. They do NOT have to be re-charged at this check! Every five years nowadays it is usually cheaper to replace them than test them, so you can "retire" (or sell), the old one to private use, (you do not have to give them to the supplier in exchange or dispose of them), and purchase new for the workshop or business.

    My prices for quality goods made to all the required NZ Standards and supplied by my supplier as above, have seen word spread and business grow over time without a lot of promotion.

    So I'd like to make an offer to all KB'rs to contact me for anything they need to purchase that I may be able to save them some money on, either for private or company use. You can PM me or email me on helpdesk@fireandlight.co.nz and get a quote you can then compare with any other supplier. As an example, to compare, I can supply a 4.5kg ABE, (multi-class), dry powder extinguisher for $112.00+GST or $128.80incl. and a 2kg for $65.00+GST or $74.75incl. Bulk orders are further negotiable depending on quantities. These are fully compliant with all necessary regs and NZ Standards.

    If you'd just like information I will happily offer it free of course!

    If admin doesn't want this thread on the site, I respect his wishes.
