What did you buy today ???

Pinlocks work well, if adjusted right.  My old shark was always fogging up.  New GT Air II with pinlocks all ok.  If it fogs, then not sealed right.

Yeah my pinlock never fogs but glasses do. Which annoys the shit out of me.

My glasses used to but I switched to contact lens on the bike 16 years ago and then I could see in the rain after years of struggling .

After much research I bought a new PLB - a KTI SA2GN
Made in Australia AND no ongoing subscription fees.

An absolute must have if vernturing off the beaten path especially in this country  

Bargain at $269.90 (with free postage) especially when you consider the cost of NOT having one if you find yourself in a position to need it.

Mliv, superb looking bike, just looks good. love it. Today was my first test of modular helmet after open face virtually all my life. Great helmet, fits perfect, great vision, i tried lots b4 i liked one. Really impressed. With front up, same as all opens ive got. With front locked, visor down, wind noise very slight, same at 40ks as at 160, had to try it. Very stable, love the ratchet strap closing, been D rings every other. With open hats my exhaust sounded so nice at 3 !/2 k revs, can just hardly hear it now, always ear plugs in. old dogs, new tricks, glad i changed. So now, 3 open face hats i doubt ill ever wear again. Hooli, i was thinking of you, give one a go, i know you love open face. best of both worlds with modular.

Weise Corsa jacket (Pro-air)

I took two of the bikes in for MOT early in December and it was hanging on the sale rail reduced from £99 to £69. It fit perfectly as I knew it would as I already have one, but I'd just shelled out for the year's insuarnce on the car and four bikes though and with a Jaguar dealer service the credit card had had a bit of a battering. I thought the better of it and left it there.

Just before Christmas the next two bikes were up for MOT. The jacket was still there, now at £59. I tried it on again to prove to myself that I had not changed shape in two weeks, but the credit card had not been completely dealt with and  I felt that the wife was going to want my disposable income to spend on sprouts and the like.

I found myself in the bike shop again yesterday. The jacket was still there. I tried it on for the thrid time and noticed it was now at £55. Hving cleared down the card I suddenly got brave. I also fished out a gift card that I had been carrying in my wallet for the last two years with a vague notion that there was still a few quid left on it.

It turned out there there was in fact £60.00 still on it.

Result - and I could walk back into the house with a new jacket and not have to explain where the family finances have gone. 

Now, I just need the weather to pick up so that it can earn its keep.
