Long Eye Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 because its for a speedway bike If you were to buy an NGK-RO-045J-10 for another type of bike they are only £10 , well providing you don't buy it from Joe hughes because his are special speedway ones that's why they are 4 times the price I have heard briggo is bringing one out . it will be in it's own box with briggo on it and not NGK , so naturally it will have to be a little more expensive I heard £142 mooted , but that depends if the SCB will make a rule that only ones from boxes stamped with briggo are legal Hate to pi$$ on your rant but they cost a lot more than a tenner trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldi baked beans are just as good as Heinz, but are only a quarter of the price, they're not fake lol. Aldi beans are fakes that's why they are cheap . since navy beans or haricot to use the correct medical term ,only come from one source in the world .... Canada .Aldi beans have got to be fakes , most likely Aldi are buying a tin of Heinz and cutting them with bleached peas to make the stretch to 4 tins worth , apparently they cut the tomato sauce with cheap pigs blood as well you only get what you pay for , I don't know how it works but selling stuff at a fair markup turns whatever it is into fake . and buying cheap fake beans will wind up damaging your ringpiece with toxic gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac101 Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 It's like buying a drill bit for my work to drill into steel/concrete you can get one at £3 pretty useless and one at £6might last a few days and tungsten carbine ones at £12 you also get diamond Titanium Nitride. Titanium Aluminum Nitride. Zirconium Nitride all will do the job but some more expensive all look the same but perform different you only get what you pay for these days why buy 2/3 times when buy the proper one to do the job 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Aldi beans are not as good as Heinz , Branston are ok tho. Some some stuff from Aldi ,Lidl is just as good but some stuffs unedible. In some cases you get what you pay for but it's also easy to get ripped off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shale Searcher Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 I go Lidl, don't buy everything there, but the basics are good, and considerably cheaper.. 2L milk is 99p, at Co-Op it's £1.49!! Gallereux Lager, (Stella Clone) £2.69 for 4 x 440 cans, at Co-Op it £4.00+ Marmite £2.35, Co-Op it is £2.79 Pork, Beef, Chicken, a lot cheaper..... I don't like their Baked Beans, but tins of Red Kidney Beans, Tomatos, also only 25p-30p all good.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Stadia Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 With all the different racing engines there are, not just speedway, surely NGK are not the only plug manufacturer for a speedway engine? What about a good old Lodge spark plug? I bet JAP and Rudge engines used them! And they are a nice pink colour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haricot all come from the same place , Canada , the only difference is the tomato sauce ,and of course the brand name which dictates the selling price like many things ,, are a pair of Levi jeans @£100 any better than Asda jeans @ £6 , I have both and I would say the Asda ones are better , but I always go out in Levi's (Dress jeans lol ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say, the way the Haricot beans are cooked, and what's in the sauce, I find a lot of the generic branded tinned foods have a very strong background taste of Saccharine, overused and instead of proper sugar....

What about a good old Lodge spark plug? I bet JAP and Rudge engines used them! And they are a nice pink colour! there are many suitable alternatives for any application , and considering the lifetime of a spark plug why would anyone bother to fake them , it's not as if they are everyday purchases , and to make it worthwhile you would need to sell a huge amount ,which won't happen because the biggest users , dealer franchises , buy straight from the source , what we were actually debating is how much speedway suppliers mark up goods that are marketed as special to speedway . there is almost nothing that is actually speedway only ,except crap that has briggo stamped on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedibee Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 On that basis, speedway spares suppliers must be operating a Cartel, allegedly, which if I am right, is illegal. not really , they just overcharge for everything because they can get away with it , bad management and laziness is the cause of a lot of it . shall i order some methanol at X price , nah just get some at the track it's only £3 more . Where would i get a spark plug for my speedway bike, shall i read the numbers on the side and order one the same off the internet , nah just ring Joe Hughes , he will have some and he will post it , save using your brain for 5 seconds and only an extra £30 , while people are too lazy and hypnotised into thinking everything on a speedway bike is specifically for that purpose , then suppliers will continue to rob them , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foamfence Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 I remember Joe Screen (when at Odsal) bringing a variety of parts back from Poland, they were cheap and supplied by another rider I believe, he experienced a good number of mechanical failures over following meetings and went back to the tried and trusted parts from their tried and trusted source. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Stadia Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 I remember years ago, looking at the riders in the Rayleigh pits, when most of the boys had 2 valve Jawas, they used to take their plugs out and screw them into a long thin cylinder and shake the plug and cylinder for several minutes. What was in the cylinder and did it really rejuvenate the plug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was in the cylinder and did it really rejuvenate the plug? thin rods of lead coated wire , as you shook the tube the wires went up inside the spark plug and cleaned it rather like a sweeps brush cleans a chimney but they worked vertically , quite effective on sooted up plugs , but wouldn't do much in a modern engine because they are not that dirty running Edited February 9, 2017 by speedibee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyretrax Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 There was a speedway video on a Glasgow web site, not speedway, and a rider was seen cleaning a plug using the tube method. I had to explain what he was doing and that he wasn't making rude gestures. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 I personally find that Aldi beans have a slightly harder texture than others and as such aren't quite as nice. In terms of the tomato sauce Branston beans are way out in front. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
