    Happy new year

    Have a good one guys. Not long till spring when the fun starts
  2. http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff215/tuktuk_photo/Mobile%20Uploads/SuperPhoto_151227153406_zps6ukudf2i.jpg
  3. Looks really nice that! Not got any decent shots of the new bike yet, heres my very old dog looking tired instead. http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff215/tuktuk_photo/Mobile%20Uploads/SuperPhoto_151223233126_zpsb13uzqqg.jpg
  4. Comments are a prime example of why im not on facebook.
  5. Where abouts are you located? Im sure if theres someone local they will give you a hand.
  6. Dont know if its a special deal but theres a couple about for under £400 atm. Just need to sort flights, transfers, food and petrol ontop of that.
  7. No chance id be wearing that. Last thing id want is 2 little locks holding the main shell together!
  8. Have you ever done a european track day? Been looking into it lately, cant believe how cheap they are considering they take your bike and put you up for 3/4 days.
  9. They should programme new ones to dim the brake lights when at 0mph and the rear parking sensor identifies something behind it for more than 10secs or something.
  10. Hate people sitting on their brakes in traffic, red led's blazing into the retina
  11. Recently stripped all the lining out of mine and washed in the sink, considering it didnt smell or look dirty there was a suprising amount of shit released! Maybes after a wet ride leave it in a boiler cupboard or blast with a hair dryer for a couple mins to get the worst out.
  12. Washed these again to put away for winter and realised they are the waterproof version, hence no ventilation. Was filling them with cold water to rinse and thought these hold water very well lol.
  13. Well done mate! Keep my eye out for you at carter bar, alston, kielder, howick, st marys loch... All the places you need to explore!
  14. Im in Newcastle Fro. After the first time i washed them i started taking that alcohol hand gel amd using it everytime we stopped, still didnt take long to start smelling. These are rst tractech evo, really comfy but theres zero ventilation. Il try out your suggestion phatdad! In future might also look at an 'underglove' if thats a thing, although that might make it worse having another layer, plus less feel, but might stop the piss getting all the way through lol.
  15. Definately the long style, I imagine the wrist area is a common casualty in spills. Those Racer gloves look great, need to find somewhere i can try a set on! Might wait till that motorbike show at birmingham and try a few different sets on together.
  16. Mate of mine has these, only riding since start of this year but theyve held up well, especially considering hes came off the bike twice!
  17. Any tips on this? Ive had to wash mine twice in the last 1000 miles as they smell like my dog pissed in them. Im 99% sure its down to a lack of ventilation but thats obviously set in the design. I have a set of short summer ones which id previously used alot more but theyve never had any odour. Does anyone wear the dainese full metal's? Thinking of buying a pair but reluctant if they are going to end up the same.
  18. I suppose the credit rating is a trade off though as id save roughly £800 by paying 2 years early. I always knew you lost money on cars/bike or any types of transport but it takes the biscuit. Ive seen online the same dealer has the same car as mine with an extra 20k miles, only its an m sport version and 1 year younger for sale at 11k. How is mine worth a whole 6k less? I totally understand its a business and they have margins etc but i cant help thinking im being bent over a bit.
  19. I got a settlement figure which worked out id save around £800 from the current balance. Not too bad! Thing is im now a bit stuck! To settle early i need to pay 5k, ive just been to see a new car im after and they valued my part ex at 5k also, ie id just be handing it over and they settle the finance leaving me back at square 1? Alternatively, ive got the 5k to settle the finance but thats only worth doing if i plan on keeping the car for the next 2 years? Dont know how my car has lost over half its value in 14k miles lol.
  20. Was wondering this yesterday, although i passed under one sat on a bridge over the A1. I approached it going too fast, obviously slowed to speed limit once passing under it. Im assuming they can only catch you in a car seems we have no front plate?
  21. Just been out with it on Its great! Petrol stop wasnt as much of a faf, no phone or keys digging into my chest. Win! I got the smallest one of these http://www.moda2ride.co.uk/dainese-ride ... g-belt-bag Go on guys you know you want one lol.
  22. Its just such a practical solution, so much that i can overlook how wrong im going to look. Blame Dainese for the stupidly small pocket in my suit!
