Re: Headlight protector
"I would have thought black ones would look better." Ah yes, I thought that when I fitted mine and ordered a set of black Velcro discs from Amazon, even paid a bit more for the hard plastic, extra strong, waterproof type. It was only when I pealed off the protective paper covering the self...

Re: I did it
If you're looking for a bit of inspiration to get out, have a look at the Welsh Photo Challenge. It's a just for fun, take a photo of your bike in front of type challenge and designed to take you to places you may not have gone to before. I've already done three in North Wales and will be doing the ...

Roadside Tools
Like many others I carry a very basic toolkit with me at the bottom of my pannier. It's only enough to tighten or adjust something that might need it, a few cable ties, a mini roll of tape and what seems like nowadays the obligatory tubeless puncture repair kit & inflator, but why? A knackered b...
Re: Torx
I carry this little bit set with me as part of a very basic toolkit. The set doesn't have screw handle, but my Leatherman has a 1/4" hex slot which will do in an emergency. I figure I'm only ever going to be tightening up or adjusting something lose at the side of the road. Anything more and ou...

Re: Screen wanted
There's a Wunderlich Touring Screen for sale in the erm, 'For Sale' section. If it's the Marathon screen they're bloody good in the winter but perhaps a bit too protective for summer.
Re: Torx
It's worth buying a few spare M5 flange head screws for the bodywork, at some point you will loose or misplace the odd one or two. I bought some Stainless Steel ones from Ebay and they're look every bit as good as the OEM ones.

Re: Adaptive cruise control
I've had adaptive cruise control on three cars (all Toyota) and their system does seem to work well on motorways & dual carriageways, if you like sitting in a queue! It's all too easy to suddenly realise, hang on a sec, I've slowed down and been following this car for, for hmm, how long without ...

Accident, Insurance Companies & Afterwards
Really worth watching and taking onboard about what to do after an accident and the pitfalls / dubious methods of how some insurers operate.

Re: Not Flu
I had it, my wife had it and loads of people I know have had what I've been told is called 'a six week' cold. It knocks you for six and is miserable. Hot milk & Brandy (sorry let's get the proportions right, hot Brandy & milk) helped me sleep, but really time is the only cure.
Get well soon.

Re: What did you do today?
Went for a short ride, Shropshire to the Lake District for a cuppa and to chew the cud with some like minded souls from the Iron Butt Association. Overcast but okay on the way up / p*ssed it down on the way back! All I'll say is thank goodness for Gore-tex.

Re: Water Running Down the Inside of Visor.
Similar to Docter T, I used a thin strip of foam tape along the top edge where the visor intersects on closing. Its important to be using the right stuff. In my case, the closed cell type foam...its quite dense and will not let the water thru ! The stuff I uses four decades ago is archaic, but I ca...

Re: Water Running Down the Inside of Visor.
The helmet is about a year old and I've just put a new visor & pinlock on it. It leaked before, it still leaks now! Reading up since I posted I've read about a paper test between the visor and the seal to see if there is a gap. I'll check that when I get home. Interesting comment about RainX etc...

Water Running Down the Inside of Visor.
Hi All, I have a problem with the rainwater running down the inside of the visor of my Neotec II. I've tried adjusting it, applying the silicon lubricant, vent open/closed, but it still comes in, dripping in pretty much from the centre. It then gets onto the Pinlock and the water seems to get stuck....
