Pie man

I have some custom fit guards and IMO they are Shite. I don't like the plugs that completely fill your ear. I found the Auritech ones the most comfortable and quietest. Unfortunately I cant find them, so now use the Auritech universal.

Brilliant news @rennie

I have very little to no tolerance for drama, stupidity, and fake people.

When's your parole

I like a good map me, especially the Michelin Regional ones

Managed to dig out the old faithful map. I will be mulling over this in the next few weeks, seeking out routes and hopefully an area for a base for a few days

Bloody marvellous, put many to shame, considering you spend most of your time on the ocean

Don't ride after dark

Fitted the mounting plate for the 43L Bumot Top Box on the 890. I think that will be enough luggage capacity for a week in Euroland.

As good as it sounds, I know my wife wouldn't haul her ass around Europe in a campervan, only to set up camp for me to rock up later on the bike.

One of my regular haunts years ago, in an evening, we would ride up to Lancaster and then over Quermore. There used to be a brew van up there, right near one of your pictures, and just down the road there is a nice little café.

Bit late but all the best.

I too zip my two piece clothing together that can zip together, I remember my old man shouting 'tuck thi shirt in or thall get cowd'. Likewise my mesh jackets and jeans don't have the zips. I know the risk.

Trying to plan a September trip. Each evening I sit with the laptop looking at places/countries, but for some reason, I just cant be arsed trying to organise anything. Anyone else do this or are you well organised.

What is your USP. What features of your product distinguishes from others already on the market.

I thought they were really good, our local lad Rick Astley played a belter too, or so I thought. It was also heartwarming to hear the crowd sing with Lewis Capaldi, showing empathy and support to a young man struggling with his mental health. I thought Lizzo stole the show

If I didn't need the bike for anything other than pleasure I suppose I could wait, however; jumping on the bandwagon, my bike is a mental health channel to sanity. My solicitor has confirmed the driver has admitted liability, police have charged the driver, he pleaded guilty and now the 3rd party is due to be sentenced in August, but, it has been adjourned at least 4 times. The point is, I feel I am being penalised by the underwriters because of the actions of a drugged up driver and the justice regime. The underwriters know they will be able to retrieve their costs and claim from the 3rd party, but I am now the risk, not the bod being sentenced. I don't think I will get a £200 deduction once this is settled FFS.

Bloody Insurance received renewal today. up by £200 - so, even though the 3rd party admitted they were at fault, I have to pay this ridiculous hike in cost, why! because claim is not yet settled, or so they say and waiting on court dates etc. I used a comparison site, and its still the same. Could reduce if I remove business use. I have never paid anywhere near £400 in my life. Times are changing. on the upside I should receive my excess back once settled.

Mixed nuts and raisins for me.

I have some Custom Fit Guards and found them to be poor, compared with Auritech Custom Fit. However, if all else fails, a bag of Howard Leight will do for me

It's the Law, we need a write up of sorts. I need ideas for September.

Bloody hell, that's soon come around.

Hello. Do I need it, probably, as it is a one off payment and in the future I may decide to venture in to a larger Town or a detour may even take me that way. All for the price of a Wetherspoons Pint. 1. Take picture of the first inner page of the V5. 2. Have payment card Ready. 3. Log on to official site Home page | Official website for the Crit'Air sticker (certificat-air.gouv.fr) 4. Invoke EN. 5. Invoke Vehicle registered Abroad. 6. Invoke Order. 7 Fill in all drop downs, note there is an assistant to help to explain. Once completed upload the picture of the V5 with all the info on that you have just completed. My bike is Euro 5 however, I had to chose euro 4, it wouldn't accept Euro 5 but I still received the Crit Air 1 Sticker. Fill in your payment detail and postal address. Received mine 5 days later, you do receive email confirmation of payment in case you need it. Hope this helps

Colmar is nice though, we stopped at the Ibis Budget, a short walk to the centre, a long while ago though, then they were called Etap Hotel, budget with underground secure parking. I may just visit this year.
