  1. are these in budget for the 125 challenge?
  2. If they're no good my mate is selling a ybr for 1k based derbyshire but easy enough to sort out delivery if you like it
  3. Sjcams are the best of the budget ones. I've had no issues with mine, comes with waterproof case and loads of attachments. Additional batteries are cheap as chips but only last about 1.5hrs. Does auto loop not sure if has auto save but I think even if you crashed coming out the driveway the battery would die before my sd card filled up....
  4. I found CMC clay cross were great when buying the OH body armour, trying on all the different ones and attaching/detaching various parts to match the armour sown into her leathers to try and get a fit. Not sure if I just got lucky with a helpful sales guy though. Service in the discount bit next door has always been a bit shocking, but then again end of line discount shops arent really known for their amazing customer service!
  5. Keep seeing bikes go past and wondering if it's any of you lot

    Bike work

    Ooo yeah I would use you to teach me how to do some bits on the bike. Wrong timing though, nothing needs doing yet (fingers crossed haha)
  7. You could go for the smaller boots that only cover ankle high. Not got the full protection of 'proper' boots but if price of custom made becomes an issue then it's a good stop gap.
  8. My instructor told me that you don't have to filter so don't. If you filter it's one more thing you can do wrong and get a fail for. Also sitting in traffic is a good way to waste 5 minutes of your test
  9. Get what you pay for with headsets. Quote a few use the standard cheap one off eBay, I have it and works fine until 60 or 70 mph then the wind drowns it out. Check the forum it's been discussed loads...search for 'bluetooth ' should do it

    Pokémon Go

    Yep, finally talked into downloading it by the guys at work....this will not end well I feel lol
  11. Get something with removable battery, or one of those leather cases that includes a battery to double battery size. Bit chunky but it solves any battery problems. I have galaxy note, well over original contract and just buy the odd cheap battery to swap out when it starts to struggle
  12. Oh and make sure you have something that covers as much of the spine as possible, that's the key thing to protect. On the knox one that I bought I like that it cant bend backwards because it's a honeycomb plastic interlinked jobby, others were basically thick foam in places so quite easy to bend further than I'd like my back to.
  13. I've got knox, the waistcoat type one. Couldn't fit anything else under my leathers so didn't have much choice. Make sure you get ce2. Make sure you try it on with your gear. I find I get a bit hotter with the full armour but nothing unbearable.
  14. If oh has any holiday left we will be the same bob! Hope to get her some textiles to extend next year's season a bit and generally have a nosey
  15. Impossible to say if it's degraded at all. To be fair if it's been used regularly then I'd be tempted to change it, only get one head blablabla etc
  16. What's shocking is that she got away with so much before they took action!
  17. I hated the u turn Easier on a big bike though, nice big fat tyres and feels more stable. Glad you're keeping your head up
  18. My boss set off with his family for a holiday in northern France last night hahahhahhaha
  19. Do have fun Don't bin it Just relax, maybe watch some of the faster riders to pick up on lines through the corners etc but don't chase them down as they could be on slicks etc and you might find you run out of grip and/or skill.
  20. Grrr it really sucks having to work! Stuck in meetings all week but definately coming into ride out season so hope to meet up soon!
  21. Same idea just diffrent... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6eupzjilRA Oh that makes me think I much I miss sailing! Bet bmw_dave as well! its been years. Where are you moored? Need a spare pair of (useless) hands?
  22. The nerves are the worst! It's what got me. You'll get there. Failing that I do know someone who eventually gave in after 3 or 4 fails and went for hypnotherapy before taking their mod 1. They passed so looks like it worked, may have been a coincidence though? Lol
