Tough one as I like both and take both to  work in my pack up. 
Cashews, Roasted peanuts & Pistachio’s are my go to. 
I voted crisps in the end as there is probably more choice. 

It’s about time you retired Kevin…… please….

This pillion is not just in your head is she?

What's the rating on them are they AA?

 
Not sure what you mean by AA but the elbow and shoulder armour  that come with the jacket is D3O XTR  and rated CE level 2. It has a pocket for the D30 XTR back protector which is optional and I have. 
 

As far as I’m aware. You can’t beat CE level 2 for the road. 
 

You’re gonna feel cramped on any sports bike. 
 

You can get rear sets that are adjustable to get the pegs a bit lower and further forward, but then you run the risk of ground the pegs. 
 

I couldn’t say about any naked bike as they’ve never been on my radar. 

Your looks like it’s not road legal. 
 

Top one with no baffle says not approved. 

Bottom one has a baffle and approved E pass

What is it about the Versys 1K you don’t like? 
 

I’ve owned a 2017 from new and it’s the best bike I’ve owned. Before that I owned an MT09 Tracer and before that a CBR600RR to name a couple. I had the 600RR for a year and the Tracer for two and each time I just got the itch to change them as the cons just outweighed the the pros after a whole of ownership. 
 With the VK1 I have not even contemplated another bike in the 6 years I had it. 
 

You could look at the Kawasaki 1000SX also. 
 

I had the Neotec and when looking for a new lid a couple of years ago went to SBS with the plan of going for the Neotec 2. I just didn’t like it. It’s heavier than the Noetec, it feels cheaply made compared to the its predecessor. I was disappointed. 
I went for the AGV sport modular. 
 

AGV have a tour modular out now so hopefully it will be the next lid when this one is ready to be changed. 

It would but you need to weigh up whether it’s worth claiming. 
 

You will have an excess to cover and then the claim will affect your premiums for the next 5 years. 
 

If the down pipe costs way over the calculated price above then go through your insurance. 
 

I would look on eBay for a replacement. 

I don’t think he will beat that, unless he breaks every speed limit in every country!

Or takes 3 less pee’s…

You now own the wrong bike @bonio

For a fit and forget system that you don’t have to charge or activate etc then I recommend Innov. Not particularly cheap but they are decent. 

I’ll second the Innovv. I have an Innovv 3. 
The video quality is not quite as good as the Go Pro’s but I only use it for myself and mostly only if anything untoward happens. 

I have a Rukka Forsair Pro mesh Jacket and the Gortex over jacket. Over jacket goes in the top box just in case of rain. I’m 100% protected if it does rain. 

I’ve signed it. 

My advice with bike PPE is go for middle price range if you are just starting out. In my opinion, if you go cheap you’ll end up paying twice. You do get what you pay for.

Sportsbikeshop is a great place to buy your kit if you have a store near you. If not, their delivery and returns policy is fantastic. 
Infinity Motorcycles is a close second. 

For a helmet, you need to determine not only the size of your head, but the shape. Certain helmet brands will suit your head shape which is good to know as depending on the info above it will narrow down your search criteria. 
 

Good luck with the DAS

That brings so many memories.....

You like dick on your chest??

The NC has a reputation for being a bit bland, but it will be bulletproof as it’s a Honda. 
I would opt for the NC over the Forza if I was mostly commuting due to the fact that the Forza has tiny wheels and you’ll go through tyres like no one’s business. Probably two revolutions of the Forza wheels to one of the NC. 
 

Good luck with DAS

I'd read that as the left lane being a give way at the dotted lines, not controlled by the traffic lights. There is no traffic light to the left hand side of the left lane.

That’s how I read it also. 
 

As has also been said. The left lane was once controlled by a traffic light and the solid line has not been covered over. 

Just type your model and year into EBay and the service part you need such as 

2017 Versys 1000 oil & filter and you will see all suggestions that fit your bike. 
 

M&P on eBay are spot on. 

What he said….. the first bit….

I would contact the guy you bought from and request he sorts it out. You must have some sort of warranty, 30 days?

Theory test last for 2 years so if you pass within that timeframe you won’t need to take another. 

I don’t think Bautista will win every race. 
 

I also think Brad Ray did excellently. First time in the class, not the best package, but earned some points. 
 

I wonder if Vandermark’s injury will be career ending? It looked nasty and it’s his right leg again.
