Steve_M Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Good morning. I had a strange conversation with my son last night. It’s his birthday soon and he’s asked me to buy him some noise cancelling earphones as a present, to replace the ones he lost. He’s an expert at losing stuff. It is, I would say, his core skill. On this occasion he claimed it wasn’t his fault. Yea, right! As it happens, they appear to have been stolen while he was trying to talk a girl out of jumping from a bridge. He’d taken them off and dropped them on a bench to talk to her. Another guy managed to grab hold of her and my lad then also grabbed hold of her and held her until the police arrived. His headphones had gone when he went back to retrieve them. Dead proud of the boy. He said it was the scariest thing he’s ever done in his life. He will be getting a case of wine to go along with the earplugs for his birthday. 4 1 Quote

Interesting reviews, though. Stopped watching after 2 mins, waiting to get over irritation at the ‘cool guy’ antics that is really bike abuse! Rectangular flat top aluminium panniers can double up as a seat, a table top, a step stool or somewhere to put a stove on when you’re fed up grovelling on the floor. Not that I have them, I’ve just seen people use them that way, an advantage over what they’re plugging. Edited February 23, 2021 by Slowlycatchymonkey 1 Quote

I think the soft panniers are sometimes preferred by peeps riding a lot off-road where they are deemed a bit safer in some situations. Edited February 23, 2021 by goat Quote

I have watched a few of his off road vids and they have been useful. Just got on my pip in this one deliberately dropping the bikes! Quote

What no, dropping a bike heavier than a harley did they have a crane Bikes are well protected and on grass, I'm sure they get worse in real world use,they are obviously pushing the new soft bags, they say weight saving is paramount so why switch to the new bag that's heavier and currently alot more awkward to remove. I think the aluminium ones look crap, if your going to fall over a lot I can see the advantage of having something that won't deform and look crap and probably need beating back into shape with a rock just to close 1 Quote
