  1. Well I researched the RST jacket and found a few people had waterproofing issues so I decided to go for the Heine Gerick Valley TRG one. I got the £175 deal which was an excellent saving on the rrp of £250. Ordered Friday morning and arrived this am (Monday) - great service considering it was ordered by a local shop from a warehouse in England and delivered free to my home address in Northern Ireland. It looks well made and has all the features I wanted plus it's a good fit. Here's hoping it lives up to its billing
  2. Thanks guys, they both sound good. Like the look of the RST one, I can get it for £152 off Ebay. Counting the pennies .....
  3. Well I suppose any reply is better than none But not much
  4. Going touring on the continent this summer and want a textile jacket that's reasonably waterproof and has good ventilation - I'm hoping for some warm days I know I can spend x hundreds of pounds but I'm looking for something that does the job at less money. Any recommndations?
  5. Dosen't seem like a lot to me. We're past the half way mark in the month and you've only had 10 pints and 7 vodkas so far? Yeh, lightweight
  6. Just a word of warning. I'm insured through Bikesure and I contacted them asking the situation re insurance if I fitted a restrictor kit myself. The relevant part of their reply was ... "We regret to advise that your insurers require the restricter kit to be fitted professionally." I didn't bother asking for a definition of 'professionally', just bit the bullet and took it to a shop to be done. I don't know how many insurers stipulate this and there was nothing I could find on the Policy document about it but I suppose it comes under the terms of modifications to the bike.
  7. What's the best bike show to attend? Particularly for getting gear cheap?
  8. OK, if you want to be pedantic, this is from the back cover of 'Roadcraft' Motorcycle Roadcraft has been developed under the guidance of a group of police motorcycle trainers, with input from police riders, trainees and civilian experts, and is for police trainees and other riders concerned with getting the best from their machines. and if you want more, inside in the acknowledgements, - This edition of Motorcycle Roadcraft was initiated by the Police Foundation at the request of the Association of Chief Police Officers. It was produced by the National Police Driving Schools' Conference Motorcycle Roadcraft Working Party in conjunction with the Police Foundation and the National Extension College So you're right, it wasn't 'wrote' by a copper, just loads of them
  9. I'm with you techno. Waste of time reading all this good advice in these subversive publications. I mean, look at Roadcraft - well it's just coppers bigging up isn't it. While we're at it, shall we ban instructors too? Another waste of time listening to them wittering on. They're just on a big ego trip really. Learn by your mistakes is best, if you don't kill yourself or others, you'll be a better rider - or at least think you are, and that's what matters.
  10. Apologies if this has been published here before but I found it a very interesting read. http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/gearbox/motorcycle_helmet_review/index.html
  11. Does all soft luggage need a rack? I have a 125 Marauder and am thinking of getting some.
  12. Thanks AdeyT. Thats what I have been doing and I find it works OK. I tried changing down through each gear and using engine braking but to do it I had to start well back from the junction and ended up too slow, still some way from the junction This way I mentally count the gears as I go down through the box so I always know where I am.
