@Essexboy loves Suffolk cake, in fact, he's caked his new bike.

Come on, admit it, you've found every dirty road you could, just to make the XT look authentic 🤣 I used to do it with a Landrover the missus had, until one day she mentioned it...

Putting the tracker in the cooling system is a novel idea. Well done!

Well it does say its waterproof :-)  :-)

Aha!! Me too, I was using a HJC i90 which I thought was very good, apart from being too big for me. Yes, the Nolan is a little quieter. I forgot my ear plugs today, and didn't feel as though I was being deafened. My thread regarding helmet liners, is about my XXL i90 🤣

Been using my Nolan for a week now.

I'm liking the wider field of view compared to my Arai. It's a lot quieter too. Which is nice.

It seems to pinch the frame of my glasses against my right ear for some reason. Though it's getting better. I would still prefer a double D style chin strap. But I'm getting used to it.

I'm also in the Nolan 100-5 club. Is the chin strap extra tight for you guys too, or do I have too many chins?

you really don't want an uncomfortable helmet,quite distracting 

@Angela Collen 😱I'm shocked - so early too! But you're right, very distracting 😜🤣

@Simon Davey I think it's just two clicks for me. A little fiddly when try to undo it too. Overall it's the best lid I've had though.

@Shepherd yes my nolan 100-5 is same as Simon's three clicks of ratchet, at first it felt a little tight, but quickly got used to it and I like this system over the d ring type, so much quicker and I know it's done up properly, @bud my glasses are quite thin, so mine go in easily and are comfy no pinching, do you have larger frames? Hopefully it will soften over time, you really don't want an uncomfortable helmet,quite distracting 

 

 

 

It's getting more comfortable. So hopefully it will be okay soon.

Not loads of clicks on the chin strap for me. Usually 4. But I'm wearing a balaclava under the helmet this time of year.

I always give my size 62 N100-5 two clicks over the neck tube.  One would probably do it but I'm a bit OCD about it being on the last notch :-)

@Shepherd you all seem to have double meanings, I don't have my brain in the gutter, not my way,neither do i swear, was simple talking things motorbike related and trying to be helpful, will be much more careful in future

No offence intended @Angela Collen, just my Basildon bred mind.

The chin strap on mine was a little tight alright when I first tried it on 

So quick adjustment of the buckle and stretched it out to 4 or 5 clicks with neck scarf under it :-) sometimes the buckle can be hidden in the cheek pad

Helmet lock for the 175 arrived from Singapore today, so got that fitted.  Not a particularly onerous task.  One screw.

Oil and filter change on the ZZR1400, took the silencers off for a good clean and makes in easier to remove the swing-arm, rear shock and linkage.

Will give them a clean and grease all the bushes and bearings. Four years old and not been done, they get done every two years from now on.
