Ashby de la Zouch & Tutbury. PS recommend riding north from Sudbury(A50). Up the A515 to Ashbourne then just north of Ashbourne, at Bentley Inn take a right onto the - B5056 - to Bakewell or extend to Calver. loads of bends and 50/60mph all the way. -

two in Lincs; Newark Castle & Tattersall Castle. i thoroughly recommend going north from Tattersall Castle up to the B1225 from Hornastle to Ludford (joins (A631). what a great road, full of bends and on a good surface. -

hi Folks, I have the oxford heated grips with battery saving mode. the problem is that when its really cold, they go into battery saving mode. they work fine when its not really cold. I have a new Yuasa battery in it, so i know its not the battery. anyone else have any answers / solutions they could share??

Halvarrsons - Beryl
A Heavy Sake Jar replied to A Heavy Sake Jar's topic in Motorbike Gloves Reviews
sizing, I bought a size 8. great fit around the hand and fingers but the webbing between the thumb and index finger is a bit short. probably could of gone up a size but they didnt have them. in comparison to Alpine stars gloves, i am a medium. but that was a slightly loose fit. -
bought these in a sale for £40 from SMC in Sheffield. My Alpinestar Apex are no longer water proof or that warm after 11 months. i wore these for 5 hrs straight in the rain and about 9 - 6 degree weather. got home and hands were bone dry and not frozen or stiff. I'll update again later on these

Enjoyed a good ride to the Goat. I planned to go to The Ugly Bug afterwards, but these days are just not long enough. New gloves worked a treat, Halvarrsons (Beryl). 5hrs non stop in the rain. hands bone dry, a bit cold just as i got back home i do recommend. The Goat
