  1. I had a DataTool on my first bike and had no issues with it or the battery on the bike. A couple of times the bike even sat for a few weeks without touching it and no issues with starting.

     

    I think a lot depends on the product regarding how much it eats the battery.

  2. I've got the Ultimate Ears molded and have no real issues with allday wearing, I was working on a site that had the foam ones and grabbed a couple. All done in the name of testing I hope you understand.

     

    I didn't find they worked as well in my ears as the molded, but we're all different so it's whatever works best for you.

  3. Not today, but yesterday. Went out for a little bimble with the local dealer and a few customers. Started in SE London around 5:30 heading down to Seaford (Eastbourne), which started as dry, 40 mins in it was spitting, hour later RAIN!!!

     

    Still it didnt stop us, and got back home at 10:30ish. Put the bike away, All the gear on the drying rack and the lining removed from the helmet.

     

    The Halvarssons Walkyr jacket kept the top half bone dry other than a slight wet neckline. The Alpinestars Andres Drystar over trousers also worked really well until about the last hour, but mostly just wet around the bootline and a slightly damp crotch area. Gloves were from Roadskin Easyrider, well we all know gloves never hold up that well.

     

    Checked this morning and the jacket was bone dry, the trousers still a little damp, the boots (SMX6 Goretex) still heavily wet and now have newspaper placed inside to help but expect them to take a few days to dry out.

     

    Still you cant beat a agood evenings ride out in testing conditions to help hone riding skills.

  4. Jacket Question for the wise of the group
     
    I have an Alpinestars Ketchum Goretex jacket, which I washed at the end of last year due to bugs and dirt. I kept the temps low (30c) and used liquid cleaner instead of the usual washing powder and no conditioner/softerner. When I wore it out in the rain the goretext had gone, I got soaked. Not a happy bunny.
     
    Do I need to use Nikwax on goretex or has something gone wrong with the jacket?
     
    Thanks in advance
