    After the years of going to bike events in Holland and meeting Dutch types down at bike campsites in Europe, I have far worse
  2. Me too, that's why I look at a map, think 'hmm, I'll ride there then there'. Then get on the bike and ride.
  3. Yep, I have lifetime maps, and no need for anything sleek. I need, rarely, to know how to get to the place I'm going to next - I've no need to also program in my following destinations till I might be heading for them. Don't need it. Totally and utterly don't need this The app stores all maps on the phone. No need for a signal. It's as fast as it would ever need to be. Type in name of destination, select one of the three given routes, ride. It's the embodiment of functionality. Personally, entering "complicated routes" strikes me as being slightly more cumbersome from the route planning POV. Horses for courses, eh. The only advantage to a dedicated sat nav imho is that it can be left fixed to the bike. Aside from that, I still wait to be convinced it's worth the 100s of pounds extra.
  4. Useful, given that you're stuck in a wheelchair. You could go to a fancy dress party as a dalek.
  5. No clown cars, no lions balancing on big balls. Worst. Circus. Ever.
  6. This is my iPhone6 phone holder - works with and without waterproof case £8.99 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01EHPE2WU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This is the charging unit I've plumbed in - charges phone fine and fast £11.89 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00VV39MN6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 *EDIT: has an inline fuse and an off switch, so no funny business with surges or drained battery.
  7. The Raw is a fun lid, I could buy one of them.
  8. Does the beard and Costa loyalty card come with it?
  9. I've never been awfully particular about routes, I prefer to discover through getting lost. The app, for me, is when I can't find my way back to civilisation. No idea what my case is, but it's a sturdy waterproofish thing, cost me a tenner or something, and I reckon the lead will take everything but an absolute downpour - at which point I'd be tucked up inside somewhere or not bothered about B-roads. Got a power socket off Amazon that does the job for a tennerish. Holder, again from Amazon. When I'm downstairs I'll do links. Was happy enough with what I bought that I bought it all again for the other bike.
  10. Sorry to hear that, chap

  12. https://copilotgps.com The app cost me something like £17.99 for lifetime maps and speed camera warnings. I still don't understand why anybody would pay for anything else.

    I'd settle for a pencil and crayon drawing at this rate
  15. If everybody has an early night on the Saturday, it'd be a fun ride down on the Sunday morning

  17. My immobiliser engaged on the Guzzi on the drive, call out to recovery types ensued. I've had one kick in as I was doing 75 in the fast lane too. Bloody lethal things.
  18. My 2cents: Disk locks are an utter waste of money - just buy a second chain. And alarms/immobilisers go wrong on motorways and in your drive - I'll never have another.

    I think it's so sweet that you little teams have some kind of rivalry to make up for not winning the Prem recently.

    Just impress them by modding on a voluntary basis, like now. Telling people to post moar gifs and less green stuff. Then, when they see they can't do it all without you, you'll be offered the gig on a full-time voluntary basis. With full superpowers. That's how I won the wife over - only less kidnappy.

    Do not do a thing, and you should treat this as a matter of urgency, do not do a thing until you've filmed it and uploaded that here.
  22. Brackley Bike Fest http://www.brackleyfestivalofmotorcycling.co.uk Not all classic, but there will be more than a few scattered about and it's a grand day out.
  23. Watched the original when everybody thought it was cool to like it, even though most said it was bollocks. Went back to re-watch it last year. They were correct, it is bollocks.
