I have to admit, updates have been very few and far between on this blog.  But there is a reason (honest!).  Ive just not been doing much ‘tinkering’ with the old Cap these last few months.

The last thing I did until this weekend was the fitting of a 12v take off point on the ‘dash’ so I could power the old GPS easily, and charge mi phone.  This will be getting a ‘how to’ soon.

Any way this weekend I finally got round to fitting some LED running lights to the engine bars.  The reason for doing this was to make me a bit more visible in dim cloudy weather.  Also to create a triangle of light to draw attention to me (no other vehicle has a triangle of lights on the road).  I decided to do this after reading about light triangles and motorbikes.

A little promotional advertising here…..

A new product is launching very soon - MEkey ICE tag - ‘Your key to who you are’

Remember the old bits of card with emergency phone numbers scribbled on them and stuffed in your bike jacket pocket - well the MEkey brings the medic alert card bang up to date with use of the latest usb technology.

A usb tag that you wear in case of emergency - ICE.  If you become unable to speak for yourself the tag includes everything at a glance for the emergency services - from your name to which allergies you have to what medication you are taking and emergency contacts.

Its ideal for bikers, cyclists, walkers, climbers, anyone who does adventure sports and for people who just want piece of mind

As you can see i kinda like this idea and feel more people who undertake adventure sports should wear one of these cracking devices.

Made another file available for download this morning.  If you look in the ‘download’ section there should now be a .pdf for the fitting of heated grips & hazard warning lights.

Not sure if this one will be of much use, but anything is better than nothing I spose
