  1. Thread of the year [mention]fastbob[/mention] We will have to have the mother of all TMBF camp up meets in 2021 or 22 who the hell knows. Stay strong TMBF legends ♡
  2. I've fixed it, had to clear cache & data on my phone, I'd downloaded loads of offline maps & I guess it was just too much for it Hopefully it's not deleted my secret parking poi
  3. Anyone else had this problem, I enter a post code, ask for directions & the below screen shot happens It's on a Samsung S8 Thanks TMBF folks in advance
  4. I use a yogurt pot velcro'd on to the bars with a sponge & washing up liquid solution. A quick wipe at traffic lights Also there are water repellant products to treat your visor
  5. When your fingers stop hurting after about an hour, that is the onset of frostbite ! What the others have said, kit is king. Heated stuff is the new silver bullet. I ride all year with work, but the truth is, no one is handing out medals for your suffering & extra risk, there is no shame in wintering your bike & getting a cheap hack car. If that's not an option, the right kit is king & be super smooth, yes it makes you a better rider but feck its hard work.
  6. TMBF legends, thanks for your replies, I'm not being made redundant, 3 others didn't make it, I really hope things pan out for them. So my endurance fix won't be commuting it'll be mile munching next year to Colditz Castle.
  7. Have a look here https://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=71531&p=1116739#p1116739
  8. I haven't but, a mate had lens replacement so he doesn't have to wear glasses & during the consultation the topic of cataracts came up, this procedure stops them happening.
  9. Good luck on your recovery. I've had vertigo 20 years ago & a few minor attacks after then, turned out to be Labyrinthitis, I had to avoid alcohol, caffeine & nicotine. Interesting the VFR is low on mid range
  10. to silk under gloves & they work in the summer to keep your hands cooler. Combined with RST heated gloves I've ridden for 6 hours in February & not had cold hands or fingers, but they're not waterproof & don't have palm sliders.
  11. I was anti HD until I started regularly riding the FLHT & later the RoadKings, but I can't afford one. Nice bike Mr Slow
  12. Cheers Manxie, I'm also thinking gear is king for this, I'll have to up my declared miles on the steed though
  13. TMBF legends, I might be made redundant, I'm looking at another job but its 150 mile round trip commute. Is it too much, but the job does include consecutive overnights away, sometimes. Just getting a overview on what's normal.
  14. Can we give it a quick kick on the way past No ! I'm not insured for ' hooligans '
  15. Heads up, I'm forming a massive queue tomorrow A5 - A494 - A470 - A496 leaving Cannock about 11am. Feel free to overtake me Caravan has a thinkbike sticker in the rear bog window, gives us a honk
  16. Bought various bits for a lockdown bike upgrade without the missus knowing
  17. Bridge Street, Stourport not sure about the pub though. My mate rented a garage on a farm next to the Bewdley by pass, before it was opened to traffic we used to blast his half built lotus up & down it.
  18. I'll keep my eye out for a red VFR & black AGV when I'm on the next breaky run.
