  4. The Lode is an excellent venue and Sam the landlady is more than happy with bikers. Sadly at the moment you might find it more than a little damp for camping, I don't think it has topped over the bar yet, this year, But it's still only January
  5. Having given this some thought, I spoke to a friend who I knew to have dodgy eyesight one side. It transpires she is totally blind in one eye, and pointed out that her visor was only cleaned one side on road trips as the other side wouldn't make any difference clean. She rides a 1250 Bandit, rather well I might add.
  6. I think you have answered your question yourself there, it's all about confidence building. btw, I know riders with one leg and a rider with one arm (the left one !)
  7. Ali, Thanks for that, I had also looked at the 550 but thought the 660 may have substantial improvements, If they are close then I can save a few bob going for the 550. Also can they be swapped from bike to bike with ease ?
  8. What Sat Nav ? What do others usse? I'm looking for something that is good for UK & Europe and can be tranfered from bike to car. Garmin Zumo 660 seems to tick all the boxes atm. I would be intrested to hear others opinions.

    Berlin

    I believe it has changed a bit since 1980. My old work places are now an aircraft museum at the old RAF Gatow and I hear an apartment block on the top of Teufel Hill.

    Sad times :(

    Noooooooo ! For this winter I intend to have two vehicles , last winter did the VN no end of harm So for this years salting I will have the Divvi back ot the road, see doesn't have to be a car
  20. XmisterIS, It is a simple case of the marketing people knowing what the customer aspires to, and that is the problem. People want a car with all the bell's and whistles but only want to pay for the basic car, ergo the 'studio' range from F**d. Simple case of 'you get what you pay for', if you want a car which has comfort ant a degree of class then buy pre-used (what used to be called 2nd hand) and get something more upmarket.
  21. Had an issue many years ago when I sold a car to another employee, trusted him to send off both parts of V5. He didn't and I got a FPN from Torquay. A swift visit to his work place at tea break and it was sorted. Don't trust anyone not even your best oppo ! Sad init ?
