Re: Refusing to start !

That GSA is only 12 months old 😜 I was leaning to the switch, but I’m not sure .... over the past couple of months, I have seen the battery symbol come up, and the dash reset itself, I usually have it on MPH, and it resets to the RT logo ! So I was happy to go along with the mechanic’s call on the b...

Just back from the IOW, went on to the Island on Tuesday and left Friday, so a couple of RT’s while there .... 4 m...

San Sebastián was a great town to visit along that top coast towards France and with easy reach of the ferry ports ... but can’t remember the hotel 🙂

Re: IAM RoadSmart advanced motorcycling test...

I’d sure I’m due a retest at 3 years, I pay my annual IAM and subs to SLAM (local training group) but I’m more than happy to take a re-test ... 3 years down the line !

Re: Throttle Gizmo



Same as riding with thicker style winter gloves on, just wear summer gloves and turn up the heated grips.

Not recommended in 32c Spanish heat David 😂

Re: Throttle Gizmo

I tend to get it in summer during a long ride. are when touring, I put it down to the thin summer gloves I wear, definitely not as bad with a thicker glove ... only happens to the right hand (awaits silly comments ☝️)

Re: Insurance quote weirdness.

Just spent 90 minutes trawling through comparison sites and got my insurance a bit lower.  Same company as my renewal (Hastings Direct),but I got it for £104 instead of their quote for £108. Not a massive win, but better in my pocket than theirs!. Just depends how you value your 90 minutes...
