started snowing here about an hour ago

sold my 4x4 few month ago aswell
west lothian

ok my search for good gear is a mess

started after i posted i cant find 100% waterproof for me this means a 10mile ride to work without wet arms and bollocks

item 1 rst jacket and pants from Hrs Bristol label 100% waterproof Cost £110 and £70
leaked in the chest zip and crutch

returned to shop and got all the rubbish about never had one come back

item 2 frank thomas x terrain £149 jacket £129 pants 100% waterproof J&s Jacket was ok small leak to right arm and pockets filled up with water pants were usless
took them back refund and changed for Revitt gear of similar price from fowlers failled big time leaked everyware

so two weeks ago bit the bullet and in 30 years riding spent the most i ever have on bike gear

item 3 Held touring jacket £299 gortex matching pants £299 for get geared

i have had better results with bin liners there were worse that the rst's

10miles is all i need to stay dry and to me as proved it dont matter if cheap or expensive im going to get wet

the only saving grace is my held ride recommended 39 quid over suit which is 100% waterproof but takes like 6 hours to get on with a month of planning

so any idea's

So the time has come to keep my pinkies toasty warm and have been looking to invest in some heated gloves,been looking at the Gerbing T5 (read quality had dropped since they moved production) and also the Biketek gloves,both really top of the price range.Was looking at my local Yamaha dealer today and saw a pair of Oxford Inox gloves for about £40 cheaper than the other,s but can,t seem to find any reviews on them,has anybody had any experience with these or can give me some good feedback on the other gloves mentioned or in fact any heated gloves.

How long does it normally take to charge a new battery? I got a Bosch battery, filled it with the acid pack, left it to settle for a couple of hours and put it on an Accumate. The Accumate is saying fully charged after only 2 or 3 hours.
I thought it would take a lot longer? Thanks.

Went shopping with the wife earlier & costa were offering a free coffee to anyone with a moustache in December...........

I have a PCIII USB to fit the earlier FZ6 (part number 410 411)
When I fitted it to my FZ it made a huge difference, more go and better economy. Took it off when I traded it in, not giving it to the greedy dealer!!!
Want £130 for it, will post it for free to UK.

Hi all, I have been having a tidy out in the garage and found an old link pipe for a FZS600. As i no longer have the bike it is free to good home.
I really cannot be bothered to post it so if you live in the Milton Keynes area and would like it PM me and we can arrange something.

It is a little tatty but it would clean right up i am sure with some elbow grease and polish.
