These brake pads were made in EBC’s own factory in Bristol, England. The EBC Kevlar® series has now been renamed NAO series or Non-Asbestos Organic, although they still use the famous Dupont Kevlar® fiber in conjunction with other high tech fibers that have come on the market. The NAO series are a superb all round value-for-money replacement for all levels of motorcycle and are still extremely popular with many riders who prefer the “feel” of organic pads.

NAO series are fully TUV tested and KBA certified and conform to the new ECE R90 brake regulations. EBC is at the forefront of this technology and will be the first on the market to offer Reg. 90 approved pads and packaging. Most EBC organic pads have expansion grooves which reduce noise and prevent cracking. The aramid fiber compound with non-ferrous particles helps to prevent surface “scorching” under load.

FLO “Spin On” Oil Filter with Housing

This should be the last oil filter you will ever buy! Made from laser cut, medical grade, 304 stainless steel micronic filter cloth, this filter provides 200% more filter area in many cases. This stainless filter catches items down to 35 microns, which is about 3 times better than most good paper or brass filters. Unlike glued paper filters, the FLO Oil Filter pleat seam is welded and able to withstand up to 600 degrees.

This filter maintains consistent flow under all conditions including extreme heat, the presence of water, and cold start ups where paper filters can flow so poorly that they often cause the bypass valve to open and allow unfiltered oil to enter your engine! This high tech filter technology is widely used in all types of auto racing including NASCAR, Indy type cars, Formula 1 and in the Aerospace industry where filtration is of the utmost importance. In addition to all the other benefits, our filter helps keep the land fills free of old used filters.

When you want to clean the filter, you should notice few things. Note the original filter position to ensure correct installation. Clean filter at each oil change with solvent, contact cleaner, kerosene, or any other degreasing agent; even common dish soap. Blow air through the filter from the inside out to remove any small particles or cleaning agent from the screen. Lube rubber parts with clean oil before installation.

My Triumph Motorcycle

Executive Summary By : Michael Chalke

Sometimes memories get lost with time, and I am now going back more than 50 years!

The youth of the country at that time, really only had one chance to take to the road, it was the motorcycle. Walk along the street and not all drives had a car in them. So it was the day of the motorcycle and scooter rider. Getting the first motorbike was a milestone in my life. Albeit, I had an old BSA bike to start with. It was old and very temperamental not always starting on first kick. KICK? Yes the day of the electric starter was a long way off and never happened until after my motorcycling years. The engineering of the engine was after all very basic at that time.

But when it did go, we entered a different world, we were mobile, and at 16 years old we could discover a new world. We screwed the throttle back to max on every gear change, fitted silencers that didn’t silence, and showed everybody how brilliant we were. I don’t think that first BSA could reach 60mph!

There were no safety rules or laws regarding crash helmets, hardly anyone wore one, partly because of the danger of being called a wimp. Many still used the gasmask goggles that were issued during the 2nd world war. But we all suffered the same desire as many do today, we wanted faster, bigger and better machines. England was the choice of the world for a while. with the BSA’s, Matchless, Aerial, HRD Vincent, Norton and of course Triumph.

But back to my Triumph, there it was sitting in the showroom, second hand, but perfect showroom condition. It had to be mine. The total price was £150 .00 a fortune for me, (and my father), but winging prevailed and I was soon wheeling it out of the showroom. It would pass anything on the road, and it would do just 100 mph. I could go from Basing stoke to Salisbury (50miles) in 30 minutes. It was fantastic.

I needed to have sparks come from my footrest, otherwise I knew I had not taken the corner right, and had not impressed anyone. They were such fun days, and looking back I realize I was lucky to survive on that bike. I can tell you that coming off at 60 plus mph, you don’t actually remember leaving the bike and hitting the ground. Once you see all the dangers of riding a motorbike, you have that little bee in your bonnet that says give it up before it’s to late.
