Honda 400/4 chain lubtrication is this IZUMI racing lubricant any good?

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

I need to get some chain lubricant on my new DS Chain & Gears - I was given an almost full can of IZUMI Professional Chain & gear lubricant - I have never heard of it until today.

Is it worth using or is it old technology?

Ted, we are all old technology, any lube is better than non and aerosol grease on a non O ring chain is fine

Thought our medical was every year after 65 Bryan.

The medicals are Ken, but after a "cardiac event" as they now call them you have to do an exercise ecg on a tredmill, or as i call it torture test, and that is every 3 yrs, we both know the medical is if you can stand, breath and see the wall you are probably ok.

Believe it or not Bryan but they held my license renewal off me for 6 months because and I kid you not here.

1. Because my blood condition can cause liver damage and I'd had 3 liver ultrasound scans and one stated quite clearly "Non Alcoholic fatty tissue" they needed to make sure I wasn't an Alcoholic, despite the fact I don't drink and haven't really done for years. Around 3 -6 pints a year is my regular intake and only on hot days when the missus likes to sit in the garden and have a lager shandy.

2. Because of work related stress, due to the effect of the condition (for which I'm now suing my old employer as my condition is classed as a disability) I was prescribed anti-depressants, I'm now off them, they were worried that I may be suicidal. Asked questions of my doctor like Has he ever been sectioned? admitted to a mental hospital, talked of suicide, is he bi-polar etc

I now have my license back but I'm unsure if I'll ever drive an HGV again, did over 40 years of it and frankly I don't miss it that much. Might do a little near Xmas for some pocket money, might not.

Not sure if it's poor staff training or just plain inconsistency but a friend of mine had some sort of black out whilst driving to work demolishing a neighbours garage and writing off his Volvo in the process.
Police investigated, his licence was revoked by DVLA whilst they investigated following medical history disclosure  & medical he got his licence back within 6 months.
He used to drive a lwd Sprinter Van doing long distance parts deliveries.

About a year later he blacked out again on his way to work writting off his Vauxhall when it hit a lampost on the central grass verge. This time they "thought" he had a TIA he kept his licence returning to work a few weeks later.

Thankfully he has now retired so just does SDP driving.

That's not good Ted, 2 blackouts and that shows he clearly has a condition that they haven't found yet. Yet they still allow him to drive a car, that's an accident waiting to happen IMO.

I agree Ken he should never have been given his licence back after the first revocation. He did loose his HGV licence that he used when driving Fire Engines as a part time job.
