Be careful of your insurance whatever route you take. I declared on my insurance for 3 years that I used a ground anchor in the garage, which was fine and have me a small discount on my premium. However when I renewed last and was talking to the agent they revealed that because I've declared that I use a chain to lock my bike up at home they would expect me to carry it round with me aswell, so if my bike was stolen while out and about they might not pay out. My answer was to remove the ground anchor from the insurance, I'm not carrying a several kilo xhain with me everywhere I go

Placing anchor pragmasis ground anchor

24v cordless drill will probably do the trick tbh, unless you are drilling into reinforced concreat (masonry bits won't go through steel bars). I wouldnt pay someone personally, ask a neighbour if you can borrow a drill. Oh, and I thought electricity had reached Scotland...... -
I wonder if children who can't speak can see ghosts
AndyPF04 replied to XmisterIS's topic in General Chat
Don't think it really has anything to do with whether or not the child can speak to be honest. -

That alarm system says it can remote start the bike, so it will be hooked into the ignition system. My money would be on there being a problem with its control unit.

Hey, Thinking of buying a pair of these http://www.bull-it.com/jeans/7-voloce.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; They have the level 2 ce rating and look to be the best thing on the market (for jeans anyway) Does anyone have them? Are they worth the £240, as opposed to the Bull-It SR6 at £130? http://www.bull-it.com/jeans/sr6-jeans/mens-sr6-bondi-blue-3863.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Also, has anyone come off wearing the cheap kevlar jeans, how did they perform? Thanks. Andy

Cheers for the suggestions guys, I did try turning my head a few different ways while riding, but the droplets seemed to be stuck like glue to the visor, and the fine mist from the lorries wasn't shifting either, and when wiped with the shammy bit on my glove just smeared across it, so I think I will try that spray. I understand that when your on a bike in hard rain, your not gonna stay 100% dry, but when you are soaked after only 12 miles in a jacket that says waterproof there is something wrong I think, because I'm not saying I had a couple of damp patches, I wrung my shirt out when I got home, it absolutely p$%^&d through it lol, I was drier after the ice bucket challenge. The tops of my shoulders and my back were dry though, so that is something although the shoulder armour was damp. So the jacket is is going back, and Ill look at getting another one.

My trousers are spada come to think of it, and nothing came through them, so if the jackets are as good quality they should be sound. I'll have a look at the Nickwax spray, It got pretty dangerous tbh with my visor the way it was, the water was going into beads, but they were not running off, even at fairly high speed, and also the fine mist coming off other cars just stuck to it like glue!!! Thanks for the advice

Hey, Just took my bike for a ride in the rain for the first time at motorway speed, did this on purpose because I start commuting on it in a couple of weeks and wanted to make sure I wasn't gonna get too cold and or soaked. Got 6 miles and was drenched, every zip, including the air vent ones which were shut, let water straight through, and by time I got home water was coming straight through the material. Its an oxford textile jacket and I'm gonna be taking it back. So any suggestions for a replacement jacket which will keep me dry(ish)? Also, what's the best way to stop water beading on my visor? Seen suggestions for everything from white vinegar to furniture polish, what works best in an experienced riders opinion? Cheers
