This happens to me sometimes,it seems that my pinlock moves slightly down when i handle my lid, breaking the seal. So if it starts to steam up, i just open my visor and push it back into position and it seems to work

Five Finger Death Punch - The Way Of The Fist

Seeing them live in 3 weeks

I'm gonna be going, already ordered my tickets. It'll probably be on the 4th or 5th though

I actually took a pic of my bike today so thought id post it-

Sorry bout quality, was on phone

Personally i would never buy kit off ebay, especially helmet as you have no idea of the history of the products. Regarding helmets - all helmets sold in this country have to pass certain safety tests, so in some respect they all can provide a certain level of protection. However, they do not show which helmets far exceed the testing requirements and which just scraped by. I wouldnt spend less than £200 ish for a helmet to get a good quality one, that fits well and i like. I also prefer the well known names, as their are well known and well trusted for a reason. After all, would Motogp stars wear Arai/Shoei/Nolan etc if they werent going to do their job and protect them in the event of a crash?

I own leathers and textiles. I use my textiles for commuting due to the unpredictable weather and the fact i can get my normal clothes underneath. I wear my leathers when im just going out biking in the dry, warm weather

I could probably make this, just in my area lol. Depending on weather. I might be going next week with my mate too!

I'm sure Hopkins used to do this in GP too, I believe he had elbow scrapers too. Well Lorenzo got his elbow down at Donnington too, just as he was sliding across the tarmac lol. Pretty impressive sparks from his elbow!

The way i was taught was that you check both sides when pulling away from a junction or traffic lights. But at roundabouts only a left shoulder check when entering the roundabout and another when exiting - checking the space you are going to be moving into. Whats happening on you right side isnt as important as thats not where you should be going

Oh and question 2, I tend to stay more towards the centre of the road behind lorrys and slightly further back as it gives them chance to see me, not sure what you SHOULD be doing though

ah, ok then

i thought most bikes had dipped beam on at all times, to help you be seen. All bikes i've seen recently are like this. The switch is just to change to full beam when it's needed

It's pretty much confirmed from us 2. Shud hopefully have my satnav by then.

How about me n Gem meet with Dan and his group, then go on up to Leicester to meet up with Korben and Wheelie_kid? Any ideas on times/places to meet in Nuneaton and Leicester?

There's a possibility of me n Gem coming too, nothing definite yet though

its sunday 28th

I'm thinking bout goin to this meet, nothing definite yet though. Will have Gem with me too. If I am,do u fancy meeting in Leicester Korben? Since my route will most likely go past there anyway.

I'd love to get an iridium visor for my lid, but the legality issues put me off a bit. How do u think a light tinted visor combined with a light tinted pinlock insert would be against the sun, and in the eyes of the law?

I'm in Coventry too!!

how can he afford a bike, insurance and petrol but not afford a new helmet? i got my helmet months before i even got a bike so i'd feel safer and more comfortable on lessons

I have these boots!! The goretex 1s tho. They are extremely comfy, not to mention safe. Ifind they squeak moe when im fidgeting standing still than when im walking tho.

so how can u guess at how much light is coming through? and i recently saw a fog city attachment for a lid with pinlock capabilities that gets darker in the sun but is clear in the dark. anyone else seen/heard about it?

Forcefield and Knox both do versions of a protective vest, but both offer level 1 protection. whereas the Alpinestars vest is level 2, that 1 of the reasons for preffering it

I have a jacket with back,elbow n shoulder protectors at the moment but was looking for something with some better protection. thanks for the advice! i better find 1 n try it before i dive right in to buy 1 online

I was considering buying this product as it has all the upper body armour id need and was just wondering if anyone had any experience/opinions about it.

Thanks

Stephen
