Just come back from buying my wife a new helmet. She found the Vemar eclipse really comfy

Looks like you have that set up really well ready for some decent trips out

Bugger!

Is it televised on eurosport? It's a nightmare watching sport. Different channels needing different subs. I was able to watch wolves get stuffed at the end by arsenal the other day on prime

The Missenden Flyer did a review on this bike the other day. He really liked it. My AT with all the bells and whistles was top of my price point. I guess if you have a big budget it's a great bike for 2 up touring. 9k miles or 2 Yr service intervals not I'd imagine servicing stil expensive. Nice looking all the same

My hjc flip front had daily wear and after 3 years the padding was pretty well done for. As said the cost of replacement can be quite high and hence a new helmet it is. Its a shame really I'm sure the padding is priced as such so you buy a new one. I do like to maintain and reuse stuff but manufacturers can make it quite hard

The point I make is people are expressing an opinion on a forum the comment you don't give a shit says it all really. I dont see why you comment on this forum or indeed are part of it. Call out whoever you like that's up to you. You just need to understand people are not saying anythimg abusive or nasty. You may believe some of us to be xenaphobic or arrogant. If people want to polish their gs or circumnavigate the globe good for them. Remember it's nice to be nice, but if you "don't give a shit" that's just fine and dandy too. Enjoy your rides out. I like seeing your photos I'm sorry you don't like my comments and are maybe offended however I don't wish to be censored by you.

Take it from a public services front line worker you see horrific things humour gets you through its called dark humour. My grandfather was wounded in the somme one of the gallant 80 of the Worcester who returned. He always said if you lose your humour what have you left. Work with some thoroughly great ex servicemen from recent campaigns they are the same. My wife's friend is curre toy working as a paramedic in Donetsk for a charity he's trapped but again has his same warped humour. Nobody owns the way they talk and act about pretty horrific incidents. I responded to the paddington train crash, 2 provisional IRA bombings. I guess you have a better insight than me, however if you are interested I can 'Educate' you on a couple of good researched theories that explain how I particular certain people deal with what they see and hear of which is stressful. I was told nobody is perfect, I was told the last perfect person was nailed to a cross. Sorry if you are offended, I have the highest respect for the Ukrainian people who stand and fight alone with no support. Feel free to message me or tell me of your experiences. As I say nobody is perfect but I think most people if not all on here are rooting for Democracy our freedoms and freespeech!

You mean I'm on it comrade!

This site does good reviews and seems to be decent enough and quiet too. https://billyscrashhelmets.co.uk/kabuto-rt-33-full-face-crash-helmet-review/

Looking on the sharp testing website the RT33 is the only tested lid and comes in at 4 out of 5 stars. Need to try one one I find they are like shoes need a good fit.

Good job I never bought a Ural

Or fox piss?

Russia will still get the same point's as the UK tho!

Maybe go online with citizens advice they may be able to help or even email Martin Lewis anything is worth a go

Perfect but I can't see the mod coughing up that much its not far off a f35 cost. I'd love to know what was said on the deck of the qe when they forgot to take the cover off the fan of the one that ended up in the sea. All looking at each other saying "he did it"

Make the channel a toll road maybe we can reduce passage or increase revenue

Indeed, I think they are foolhardy investing so much in the f35 and buying so many. A couple of squadrons of saab gripens would make ideal cost effective jets without breaking the bank no need to put all our eggs in one basket. As for cutting back on the size of the army and only upgrading some of the challengers it makes no sense.

A brief zip out in the sunshine this morning ice and dry just not feeling great even so great to get out. Just feel a bit gutted I have a great bike and feel too tired to even get the Africa twin out of the garage. I may have to reassess things post op when ever that is hopefully soon.

I think the UK needs to reassess its defence spending, stop overspending on absolute tat. I believe they are struggling to get a single type 45 destroyer on patrol due to engine issues and upgrades years away. The type 23s are aging now and their replacements are years away. I dont think we can effectively defend our own waters let alone anything more! I know nobody wants to think about war and spending money on something which may not happen alas we do.

That's not good news sorry to hear that. Hope you can get back on the road somehow

I think sbs might be able to help apparently

Least you're making a positive out of it. I'm sure it will look great when it's all done

So sorry I hope the damage isn't too bad and easily sorted

Yes hopefully a few dry days will do everyone a favour, storms floods I think some towns need a break! Cheers stu, fingers crossed on the health front a heart valve issue has now been added to with a bit. of Coronary heart disease, work stressful so I've took a few weeks time out to try and reduce my blood pressure etc
