A Heavy Sake Jar

Currently changed bikes from Pan European to VFR1200f. With a lower screen, the wind noise in my Shoei QWEST is horrendous. 
 

looking for a full face helmet with pin lock and internal sun visor. Needs to a lot quieter than my current helmet. 
 

Any recommendations?

Deciding to sell as I’ve come into some money so I want to get a new bike.

Looking at buying a st1300 with 70k miles. How did you go with this one after you bought it?

great trip, fantastic effort to get out and do this.

what time of yer did you go?

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.

Lots of folk getting started - I'm waiting for better weather so I can get a full weekend in.

what you are really saying is: You're giving us a head start!!!

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.

Pubs completed.

4 around York. great winters day for riding.

theres a george and dragon pub next to Knaresborough.

Exhibition is about 5 min from Clifford Tower

Conisburgh Castle.

Theres no signage out the front of it unfortunately. but plenty of spots to grab a picture

Peveril Castle

Nabbed a few whilst on my 'study break' from doing assignments

Thanks for te info.

I'll get hold of a multimeter and check it out.

FQ

- its a brand new battery. works fine, i had it tested before fitting

I've emailed Oxford explaining the situation. I'll post their reply on here when I get it.

two more pubs, thwarted by snow

George & Dragon

The Royal Oak

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??

Wagon & Horses

three tuns, on a mid winters night dream

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.
