Reflective Wheel Rim Tape

Another slight upgrade to my Zontes Panther. I ordered some reflective rim tape from eBay to test out.


It wasn't the easiest to fit as the circumference of my wheels didn't quite match the tape but I managed to get it on after a bit of messing about.


Tip:- Its very important to clean the wheel rim with soap and water but also with some methylated spirit or alcohol to completely prepare it and to remove any break dust and grime.

Zontes Panther 12cc Motorbike Review

Image
After 7 years of being riding a 102cc Honda Lead Scooter I decided it was time up trade up to a proper Bike.  I went for a Zontes Panther 125cc ZT125-8A. The bike cost £1000 less than a Yamaha YBR and the manager of the garage I bought it from (a Yamaha dealer) said he preferred the Zontes bikes as they had more BHP and looked a lot better then the YBR's.  You Tube Video here:-  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvFMfSHNAu4 The other bikes in the range include the Zontes Tiger which has a custom cruiser look to it and the Zontes Monster which is is basically the same as the Panther but with a higher seal position and a slightly larger fuel tank.  The sales blurb:-  The panther encompasses all elements of Zontes machines that makes them perfect for both learners and seasoned commuters, yet packaged compactly in modern style.

Aldi Motorbike Tank Bag Review

Image
I've been looking for a tank bag for a while as I need to carry a lot of stuff to work everyday. I saw this in the Aldi Motorbike special buy promotion and thought I would give it a try as it was only £12.99 Its alot bigger than I expected and seems to be well made with large good quality zips. It comes with all the straps you would need as well as a handy elasticated rain cover. There are 4 strong magnets to hold it to the fuel tank and they seem to be very effective. The front of the bag has a clear plastic cover with a recess for sat navy etc. It also has a headphone hole leading from the front pocket to the main pocket. If you are looking for some cheap extra storage space on your bike I would highly recommend this product.
