I didn’t think to look it up before now and not only does my fear of belly buttons have a name, there are others out there that feel exactly the same way as I do.

I can look at mine or someone else’s belly button, but I can’t touch mine, can’t stand having mine touched by someone else and I can’t stand someone else touching their own.

Piercings etc are fine, as long as they’re not being played with.

It seems to be a little rare but others suffer from it too, and they describe exactly the same thing I do.

Here’s a definition:

Omphalophobia is a specific phobia, an abnormal fear of belly buttons. It is a fairly rare phobia. People with this phobia become distressed when anyone’s navel area is subjected to touch, especially their own.

I saw this on yahoo or wiki answers, while it wasn’t an answer, the description is pretty close to mine:

What is the fear of belly buttons called?

I have a friend who hates belly buttons. She can look at a belly button and be fine, but if you touch it.. she can’t even look and she turns pail white. She says she feels completely nauseous and it just freaks her out. She can’t even touch her own belly button..

There’s even a Facebook group for us. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=20412580864 same description as what I feel too:

Category: Common Interest – Self-help

Description: Omphalophobia is a specific phobia, an abnormal fear of the navel or belly button.

A group for those that have an abnormal fear of the navel, touching one’s own navel, touching someone else’s navel, seeing people touch a navel, or hearing someone talk about it.

This seems to be a rare fear to have… a quick Google search indicates there are others out there with this phobia, but not in very large numbers. I have never actually met anyone else that has it.

There may well be many different forms of Omphalophobia, but I am not personally afraid to see a belly button at all. It’s only when someone touches theirs that really bothers me, or even worse tries to touch mine. I also don’t like it when someone talks about touching one.

Honestly, I wish I didn’t even have a belly button

General Tyre / Tire Information

More information can be found on these wikipedia pages wiki/Motorcycle_tyres and  wiki/Tire_code

Tyre / Tire size

Metric Sizing

I will only list the metric sizing as it is most applicable to sport bike wheels

190/50 17 means the tire is 190mm wide on a 17-inch rim with an aspect ratio of 50. This method is called “metric,” even though the rim size is in inches. The aspect ratio is the height of the side wall and it is a percentage of the width. i.e. 190/50 is 190mm wide and has a height of 95mm (190mm X 50%). A 190/55 tyre is 190mm wide with a height of 104.5mm (190mm X 55%).

Letters that show up elsewhere in the tyre sizing show speed rating and construction of the tyre; for example, R or B means the tire is radial or belted-bias construction, and Q, S, T, U, H, V, W, Y and Z indicate maximum speeds the tire can handle.

Speed Rating Chart

Date of Birth

When tyres are manufactured, they have their birth date molded into the side wall. It is a 4 digit number with the first two digits being the week number and the second two being the year, that is WWYY. Because rubber is organic, tyres deteriorate with age, for me it is important to buy the newest made tyres available. (My tyre man used to laugh at me as I went through them all on the rack to get the youngest set).

190/50 vs. 190/55 the 5% difference

Here is a scan of an article out of a magazine talking about the 5% difference between the 190/50 and 190/55 series tyres. I personally run a 190/55, once I tried one, I never went back. Some people run a 180/55 on a 6″ rim, saves some money, but the 190/55 is the best of both worlds. Sharper profile for easier turn in and maximum contact patch for grip.

Chain Sizing

Ever wondered what the difference is between a 530 and a 520 or 525 chain is?

The numbers used in chain sizing are all in 5/8ths on an inch. The first number is the pitch (the spacing between the pin centres) and the other two are for the width of the chain.

The first number is the pitch, the spacing between pins.

• 4xx = 4/8″ = 1/2″ pitch
• 5xx = 5/8″ pitch
• 6xx = 6/8″ = 3/4″ pitch

The 2nd number is the spacing between the plates, the chain width

• x20 = 2/8″ = 1/4″
• x25 = 5/16″ ( (2/8) + (0.5 or 1/2 of 1/8) = 2.5/8 = 5/16″)
• x30 = 3/8″

Therefore a 530 chain has a 5/8th inch pitch and a width of 3/8″

Therefore a 520 chain has a 5/8th inch pitch and a width of 1/4″

The screen shot shows we took an hour and thirtyfive minutes to do 6.69km at an average speed of 4.2km/h. I’ve put the elevation changes graph up too.
