While you’re at it can you not put a South West tag in the South East? e.g. this years Iron Bull Road House

I have a pair of these. Brilliant in cold weather. 

As do I, excellent piece of kit, I was a bit taken aback by the price of the batteries but got them anyway as it means ai can wear them on multiple bikes.

I'd go with the£156 quote. 

Although it's just a couple of hours, it's 1/2 a day, or even a whole day that the transporter has to put to one side to do the job. 

They don’t just transport 1 at a time they wait until they have a few to do a milk round, took a month from ordering to delivery last time I used a service like that.

Doing bugger all due to having been struck down with some kind of Lurgy, ( not COVID ) Headache, heavy eyes, sore throat, runny nose & shivering

Just wanna sleep, so I’ll dose up with paracetamol & take an early bath.

Happy Birthday @manxie49 hope it’s a good ‘un

Remember kamchat? He died in accident few yr ago, and ducatiboy999 . Not sure about any others being on this forum

That’s a shame always enjoyed Kamchats’ contributions although a bit controversial at times.

The late night pissed crew were some of the funniest.

Must be just my area. Other place I've noticed is Herefordshire. Nutters there in cars

Does seem a bit like that round here - Banner Lane is now a 30MPH limit ( down from a 40 & has been for a while ) you wanna try driving at the limit & you’ll get tailgated, flashed & dangerously overtaken - can be funny when they get stuck at the lights & I go passed in the filter lane turning right.

In other news I'll probably do a points tally tomorrow evening so post your stuff up before then

Thanks for the update @Hoggs

Looks like I missed out posting the pic of KNIGHTSHAYES, unfortunately it has been permanently deleted & gone to pixel heaven only to be reborn as an AI generated video of Nigel Farage getting spanked by Ru Paul

They have physical shops in the real world as well as online magic pixies.

They do, I suppose I could go on the 30 mile round trip and kick off about it, but I have no real evidence, eg screenshot or anything, so easily deniable.

which shop is it ?

Err, Sportsbikeshop

Sportsbikeshop Black Friday sale - absolute joke !!

Had my eye on a helmet, saw it an line at Sportsbikeshop a couple of weeks ago at 

£159.99, eagerly awaited the Black Friday sale & there it was at £159.99 - exactly the same except with a Black Friday banner saying 20% off & a £199.99 banner with strike through - bunch of clowns !!

So how do you work the switch on your left glove without taking you hand of the throttle? .. I only ask as I was talking to another biker today with heated gloves and he said he couldn't alter his while on the move as he had to hold the button for 3 seconds or so to make a change.

True, you have to coast, takes 3 secs to turn them on, just a button push to change temp

With heated gloves, can you turn them down or off when you are on the move like you can with Hotgrips?

My Gerbing heated gloves have 3 heat settings that can be adjusted on the move through switches on the wrist of each glove.

Using batteries (although bulky) means I can easily hop between bikes.

Today I will be trying (again) to remove this broken bolt off Zippy.

The head snapped off as I was removing the clutch cover, used penetrating fluid, heat & the 2 nuts method, but it didn’t budge & the thread stripped,

Other methods will be attempted today

What ever you do, use oil specifically designed for motorcycles, don’t use car oil.

This is how I found out my favourite supermarket frozen pizza has 1044 calories in it 

More if you deep fry it

At the start getting yourself there can be really hard … but, once you feel the benefits ( long before you see any change ) it gets so much easier.

After a hard session you will realise that you have not thought about any of the stress in your life, just whether you can make that next rep, extra 1/2kg or if you can hit your next target without running out of breath.

Another thing you will find mildly addictive is being able to hit the sack & sleep like a log due to being physically exhausted.

And don’t forget the money saved through having free showers
