I wear both contacts and glasses. If I’m doing a shortish journey, like into work I’ll wear my glasses, but if I’m going out out I’ll stick contacts in. Also different helmets fit glasses better than others. My Arai has cut outs in the lining for the arms of my glasses whereas my AGV did not. Things like that make it a lot comfier for glasses!

Everytime people don't use indicators it causes danger on the road, slows the traffic down and causes accidents.

No it doesn't...

And order the bikers breakfast for a massive fry up!!

I bought a van in Inverness and booked it in for an mot 240miles away, yes it's legal but prob a very thin argument and no defence if a vehicle is found to have defects

From the Ask The Police website...

The law makes no mention as to how far you can go for an MOT but we would suggest the distance is kept as short as possible because even though you are exempt from having a valid MOT certificate in the circumstances described above, if you are stopped by the police you could still be prosecuted for any defective parts on your vehicle e.g. exhaust, brakes and tyres etc. If you call in at shops etc. on your way to the MOT, it may be held that you are using the vehicle for other purposes and the above exemption won't apply. The further you travel the more likelihood there is of your vehicle triggering an ANPR camera and you being stopped.

This...

Sidestand extender so I don’t have to worry about carrying a puck around with me or worry when stopping somewhere the grounds a bit soft.

Apparently the going rate for similar around these parts (Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambs) is £180 for around two hours.

Try these, not cheap but apparently very good: https://www.specialisedcovers.com/bike-covers/ I agree with fastbob on the ebay covers, I bought one last year, it lasted me one trip to the Lake District then fell to bits, whatever cover you get make sure its breathable material, helps prevent rot from setting in.

I have one of these. Not the cheapest but certainly far better quality than anything else I’ve used. Far more durable than Oxford covers etc...

Used them loads and found them excellent. Quick service and returns when needed were quick and painless.

Two wheel Tuesday. Every Tuesday at a pub called the Ox and Plough at Old Buckenham. Probably the biggest meet around the Norwich area. Well worth a visit. I try and go when shifts/weather allows.

I have a Dainese Hyrda Flux mesh jacket. It comes with a removeable waterproof liner which comes in handy should you get caught out in the rain or need to keep a little bit of chill off.

Was about to suggest the Ducati forum but just realised you’ve posted there!

I like big bots and I can not lie...

I’ve just bought my second pair of Hood jeans. The new ones come with a cool max mesh lining thing which the older ones didn’t have. They feel a lot better in the heat so far. I prefer them to my vented textiles. More down to the way they look I think.

Ahhhh the benefits of rural living!

Have lived in an area where it’s permit parking in the day but evenings were a nightmare. Terraced road in a student area where each house has multiple cars. Throw into that a pub opposite with no car park....

Because everyone has a bit of a Boba Fett-ish....

That is Stunning!

Was done as an exhibition piece at a body art show so pretty detailed. The artist has also done a koi and chrysanthemum on my other leg but I’ve not got decent pictures of that.

I have been finding it hard to sleep since i put the deposit down on Monday, i find myself thinking about it all the time, i am even dreaming about it. Is that weird?

Nope!!

Sounds like you got everything you wanted and sometimes that’s worth paying a bit more for. As long as you’re happy, and it sounds like you are! Enjoy!

I saw a Vulcan at the side of the road yesterday as I was driving into Norwich, together with a Lightning and a few other odds and ends. I might pop in tomorrow for a quick look around.

Norwich Aviation Museum. It flew into Norwich airport and a friend remembers it going overhead and rattling all the house windows!

Love a Vulcan too!!! Not as close unfortunately.

Love a Lancaster...

 

Cool! Where's that?

That’s at the Canadian Warbird Heritage Muesum in Ontario. The year after it came and did the tour of the U.K.

Love a Lancaster...

600 or 900? My 600 had a Scorpion. Looked and sounded nice.

For all you who haven't picked names, I may name them myself!

 

Name please!

I had to stop last night as I had an overwhelming fear that I’d left my keys hanging in my top box. Turns out I hadn’t, but was a bit worried for a couple of minutes.
