IMPORTANT NOTE: I have these fitted to my car without issues (so far). However you must take full responsibility for any consequences if you chose to fit parts based on the details here.

Discovered that coins drop straight through the front-most slot of the centre console coin holder. I thought the plastic must have broken but came to realise that the front slot is probably intended for credit card sized items (or even notes?), rather than coins. Still decided to block the front slot underneath to stop coins from falling through. The mod can be easily reversed if we do need the slot for a card / notes in the future

Having freed up the exhaust flapper valve I was interested to see it in action. The answer is that the valve is fully open (anti-clockwise, against the stop) the vast majority of the time, only closing when the bike is pretty much at idle. This confirms that the valve is for noise control, rather than any back pressure / resonance tuning for performance.

Tested that the zener diode was working before trying to start the old BSA for the first time - to make sure that the new electronic ignition wouldn't be exposed to excessive voltage

As it happens this driver jumping the light wouldn’t have mattered but nice that they reversed back :)

Walked from the Braddan Bridge Campsite to Union Mills to watch the practice at 18:00. 15+ riders through with no issues until #54 came down the hill & overcooked the right hander outside the Railway Inn. Locked everything up, hit the curb, bounced into the padding & back into the road. Sod’s law says I missed video’ing the crash itself, so this is seconds later. The rider jumped up straight away, checked out by the doctor & seems fine. A lucky competitor from the Republic of Ireland - James Chawke . Someone else captured the crash itself https://youtube.com/shorts/epZdWJnLHYw?feature=share
The majority of marshals are bikers, the lead marshals have years of experience, indepth incident management & other training. They're all volunteers, doing it for the love of the sport.
