Yes, although I will say that the ones I was issued in 2003 were different to the ones I was issued in 2008. Having said that they’re equally as good in my opinion.

Re: SOCKS

I use the ones that I was issued by the Queen, when I went to those foreign countries that were very hot and sandy. Never had a problem in 40+ heat out there and they work as well in this country all year.

Re: Off to France. GB or UK?

I've spent three days with the Italian police and they weren't bothered about the size of the UK sticker on my number plate. I think if you get stopped for it then it's a 'jobsworth' I've quite often seen vehicles in Europe without any country identifiers.

Re: Zumo XT arrived yay! Oh... what fresh hell is this Basecamp software?

I had the same problem with Basecamp, I watched loads of youtube videos on how to create routes. I tried them but failed. I was on the verge of giving up when I stumbled across one by a woman https://youtu.be/DWTcLFwd8-0 It’s just over 5 minutes long and explains everything, it’s so easy. This week ...

Re: Right turn signal lights not working

I have to agree with David, looks like a worn switch. My dealer, before he replaced it, did “fix it”. Don’t know what he did but worked for all of a couple of miles before it stopped working.


I fear the only way to resolve it is a replacement.

I ride all year, both with my former, prior to retirement, employer, been riding when the snow has been horizontal, not a nice experience! Blood biker so the weather is not an excuse not to ride, unless it’s really bad then it’s usually a case of shopping tow wheels for four. The only pain is ensuri...
