I have now noticed four vehicles that have zip ties on all four ALLOY wheels???


Has anyone else noticed this weird practice?

All i can think of is that they had steel wheels in the past and lost a cover and do not know the difference between alloy and wheel trim??!!

if you lok at the astravan sportive - it looks like it has alloys but they 're actually steels with a trim - the zip ties stops the trim falling off!

Yup, the VH trims wrap round the steel wheels and are very hard to tell apart, need to look @ the valve, VW's are the same.

Shitty mirrors and semi racing seats.

Side mirrors, wing mirrors.
You know the things you dont use when turning right just like every stoopid car driver does when in front of a motorcyclist.
Proves you dont look you dont even know what the F**king things are!

I look over my shoulder when turning for that reason - too many blankspots on a mirror to depend on it.

Ahh the good old "life saver"  Good man, not many do that.

Bet most here wont know what a "lifesaver" is.
Not doing that fails your bike test instantly !!
