Sounds like you’ve made up your mind and don’t wanna risk losing the new job What happens if you tell them and it falls through? I'll have to grovel to get back a job I detest and/or risk the shittest job market for a long time during lockdown and a pandemic. Feck. If I detested the job I’d risk it but I’m wary of suggesting someone else does that

Took my pop pop out for a spin today, didn’t miss my heated grips at all..... she lies. Stopped on Weston-super-mare seafront- proof that it is the people that make it shite

Well in normal circumstances I would be 80%+. But with the way things are certainty is a rare thing. I'm heavily leaning to risk it. May be that I end up with a week or two unplanned unpaid leave. I don't want to risk the new job and dislike the current one a lot. Sounds like you’ve made up your mind and don’t wanna risk losing the new job What happens if you tell them and it falls through?

[mention]goat[/mention] aah that’s a bugger. If I was 80% certain I’d got the job I tell them. So how certain are you?

If you have to confirm you wan to stay at the end of your probationary period? If so just don’t get round to it for a while.

Yogurt n museli paste?

Or maybe some ptfe tape on that tyre.

Does he moonlight as a plumber? I think he may have worked on my recent water pump leak.

I’d consider one when my contracts up. I like the idea that they supply a screwdriver and you can replace parts yourself.

[mention]raesewell[/mention] I find all the Sena things a pain to set up. Another failing on Sena’s part. If ride connect gives better sound quality ie no cracking and popping noises I’d be prepared to give it a whirl. The distances are fine so long as there’s a completely clear line of sight and no interference, which over any distance seems to be rare. [mention]exportmanuk[/mention] thanks for that. Hadn’t considered using another app. Unfortunately it’s all ios at the moment but I’m sure they’ll be some alternative or workaround.

I too have a Neotec 2 and the Sena comms kit designed for it. I have no problem with comms volume at all speeds. There is a setting in the Sena app called "Volume Boost" and its default setting is 'off'. Maybe this would help? Thanks I got fed up with it and hacked into it adding a headphone port. The earbuds are a boon!

Yer have been doing a phone call instead which is good on the peace and quiet front but a bit slow on the “It’s left here, left LEFT....”

I’m not a fan of Sena. I say this as someone who has two, a 20s and a 30k. They’re very over priced for what they don’t deliver and it hacks me off they sell them saying the connectivity between sets is over a mile without saying that’s actually for several sets connected together in a chain when in reality after a couple of hundred metres they annoyingly crack and pop because a Bluetooth connection between two moving objects is not ever gonna be up to much. My solution so far has been to switch it off or disconnect from the other rider. If I’m being honest I don’t really want to listen to someone else while I’m riding (if I’m being really honest most of the time I don’t want to ride with anyone else anyway) but sometimes it’s useful and I paid for the damn things so I’d like them to work. The ‘Ride Connected’ app works using your phone to stay connected, this uses data but I have plenty of that so was thinking I’ll give it a go. Does anyone here have any experience of the ‘Ride Connected’ app? Does it work a lot better than normal Bluetooth coms kits?

Oh to have caught that sweetness on camera!

Looks like they’ll be plenty of pathetic two sparklers and a catherine wheel type displays this year.

Superglue some new ones on?

Will do. So long as I can still get my paint delivered I envisage starting with a lovely shiny perfectly serviceable helmet and finishing with a blobby mess that I’d rather disassociate myself from. If you don’t see any pics you’ll know what happened

Beats the bog roll n paint n baking stuff most people will be buying before Thursday We’re gonna need to rename this thread, wot r u doing before Thursday?!

Could go either way. They suffered a huge back log of tests last time that caused them a massive headache so I wouldn’t be surprised if they carry on. Then again mobikes tests get lumped in with all others like cars so they might.

It really was. Didn’t get any lighter all day though! How long are you suffering the beautiful warmth n sunshine n Turkey? Until my visa runs out in 30 days and they kick me out, unless I can finish my residency application before then. But I'll go to the Canaries instead or, well, anywhere, cos I have no job, home or wife in England to go back to and it sounds like one of the worst places on earth right now Are you currently occupied as beach bum?

Cos the dog is trying to secure his position and wants to know he’s safe. If he greets you enthusiastically and you respond he knows your ok with him there and don’t pose a threat. Well that’s what they say but who knows I’ve yet to come across ‘Dog’ on Google translate.

Bound to become more popular at that price tag. Apart from its known faults its a very robust bike. Most of it you just bend back n carry on.

Some decent puddles with hidden surprises to add to the fun.

Correct all Himalayan’s. A very underrated bike.

To be fair chica that looks super fun. I miss my bike It really was. Didn’t get any lighter all day though! How long are you suffering the beautiful warmth n sunshine n Turkey?
