How do like the new watercooled RT-Ps? How does it compare to your civilian bike?

Great. Thanks iRider. Really appreciated

You really should check your facts before going public. You are wrong on both counts but if your happy with your interpretation and understanding that's a matter for you. IRider, very interested by your comment. Can you point me in the right direction for confirming the legal exemption to pass a re...

Forgot to mention that being a blood bike rider also requires you take an active part in fundraising. We rely entirely on donations and without money we cannot operate

Freewheelers EVS in Somerset gas similar operational hours but 7pm to 7am and 24 hours Saturday Sunday and bank holidays. Most of our work is blood, microbiology and pathology samples. We regularly carry baby milk, patient notes,medication whole blood and blood products. We also supply two air ambul...

I've looked at the police type panniers and they appear to fit the civilian bike. It's a bit of a faff as they mo...

Does anyone know where I can buy the pannier city lids for the panniers on the liquid cooled RT? These are the replacement lids which reduce the pannier width by about 100mm?

I have the Rukka Armas and it's very comfortable and has never leaked but it's too warm in temperatures above about 28deg C. For hot summer weather I use a Rukka Airway jacket and it's very good at keep me cool but it's a light jacket and not convinced about the level of protection. I would love to ...

Ah, thanks Baz. Found it but not a clear as earlier Tapatalk software. Cheers :-))

Probably not the right place to ask this but can anyone tell me how you create a new post using the new Tapatalk app on an iPhone or iPad? Thanks :-)))
