  1. I've got a nice little car for sale online. So many Indian scam centres contacting me. Then a genuine guy asks a few questions and asks what my lowest price is. I give him a price and then he asks will I accept 50% of the figure I gave him. Laughing in his face was the only way to ease the frustration. Also I put the car in autotrader. It's come up as cat c which is incorrect. Contacted autotrader who said they can't do anything so now I've to get Experian to change things. No idea how long that'll take and in the meantime the car is advertised as cat c which will put off potential buyers.
  2. I've just collected the car and it was valeted before collection so maybe it'll get better. Wrap might be an idea though.
  3. Due to expanding family I've had to buy a bigger car. All is well but when the sun shines on the dash it creates a glare / reflection in the windscreen. I've had a quick look online and there are mats that can go on the dash to stop the glare. But I don't want to use these are they look terrible. Are there any other options like sprays etc that might help?
  4. We have a baby that likes to move about so I want something that can autofocus to zoom in and out to capture us during the call. There's loads that do this when attached to a pc but I can't find one that can be run just from a phone via Bluetooth or something
  5. I video call family on zoom or Skype regularly using my phone which is annoying having to hold it out. Can anyone recommend a camera I could maybe mount on top of my TV ideally one that would have auto tracking and is compatible to use with an android phone rather than a pc.
  6. They have the controller on the right glove. The left will automatically change temp too so you don't have to change both. I've had a few five gloves as they fit me really well. They are made well and have hard scaphoid protection which is something I always look for.
  7. I have knox zero 3 MK2. They are good and warm but very thick and a bit clunky on the switches. I also have heated gloves from five. They are battery powered. I've ridden on the motorway for an hour in near freezing and they were fine but needed the high setting so only had about 3 hours of juice. I've bought a second set of batteries so I don't get caught out on my commute. Waterproof gloves will also be windproof which helps keep you warmer. Both my gloves have been great in the rain too.
  8. Being a new rider will always be expensive as you are high risk. Redo the quote with the same bike but a couple of years old. Sometimes there is a much higher cost for brand new bikes than slightly older ones even though the only real difference is the reg year.
  9. Not really a true nob as I felt bad for this guy. Just sat at the start of the motorway waiting on the lights to change. There's a 125cc scooter that taken the on ramp for about 10 yards and is trying to go backwards before the lights change so he doesn't join the motorway. No other moving vehicles about. Anyway, he makes it just in time and scoots off down the side road however there's a police car that just came round the bend as he did the last yard to get off the on ramp. Blue lights go on and they follow him. No idea what happened after. Hopefully the scooter rider felt silly enough in their mistake and they didn't get too harsh a punishment as they didn't get in anyone's way and tried to fix the issue as soon as they realised.
  10. Last night on M1 M25 and around London, so many people with no lights on around 8pm. Some mysteriously with just fog lights on. Some with front DLRs and no rears and with there being a lot of trucks kicking up spray from the road they are invisible.
  11. Buy a cheap cover. It'll keep most of the weather off. Also it'll keep birds foxes etc messing your seat. I had a cb125f for about 2 years. It was never once inside but kept a cover on it at night and it survived well. Also according to Bennetts, a cover will reduce the likelihood of theft apparently.
  12. These would need to be priced very aggressively to get a look in over other 140bhp-ish bikes from the likes of honda cb1000r, Suzuki gsxs100 etc.
  13. Both black c class. Probably out burning the only £10 a week of fuel they can afford after the PCP payments are made
  14. I'm nominating 2 mercedes drivers today. Commuting home last night on my bike. On a roundabout turning right one merc decided to cut me up as I'm turning on the roundabout. The other turns right on the left turn lane. They then zip in and out of traffic and must have been doing 60 or more in a 30 mph zone in the dark where there's several pedestrians crossing. They were chasing each other until I turn off a side road. Only a matter of time that they crash and maybe kill someone if that's how they drive.
  15. If you generally travel solo would just some air pods or something similar work?
  16. I was hoping to pick up a few bits in sales but nothing came up that was worth buying. Something I do need to buy is a spare charger for the batteries in my heated gloves.
  17. It's a lovely looking bike. I've a cbr600f and contemplating changing for the same reasons. Suzuki gsxs1000f is high on my list of potentials as it's more upright but still got some sporty looks.
  18. It's not like some farmer that grabbed his hunting rifle. They had a 9mm handgun, a shotgun, tasers and lock knife. Probably not best behaved fellas. That being said hopefully it'll give other would be thieves something to think about.
  19. I wear ear plugs any time I know I'm going to be doing over 50mph. Above that my ears hurt. Commute an hour into central London on motorway and any time I've forgotten to put them in it's not very nice on my lugs. I've been using eggz for the last year and have no complaints.
