Well Anquetil,
I would appreciate your diligence next time you go to Vyrnwy, maybe if you walked around the lake it might give you more opportunity to spot said Titfer Tat in amongst the bushes  :eek :rolleyes    :lol .

Rode home from work in the pissing rain and gusty winds again, on my 3 pair of gloves this week, two pairs from yesterday have not fully dried yet.  :'(

A ride in the sun to Oswestry, Tanat valley, over the Berwyns to Bala and back via Ruthin.


I don't suppose for one minute that you found a Brown Kangaroo Leather Barmah Australian hat around the Lake Vyrnwy (Yes that is how you spell it) by any chance. Lost mine off the back of my bike about 5 years ago blasting around that lake.
Lovely spot to go to, Lake Vyrnwy Hotel has an outside balcony in the bar area where you can sit and enjoy a delicious pint looking up the length of the lake.


How come the Welsh do not have anything to do with Vowels in their spelling?

I have one of those tommy, although mine is nearly 20 years old now but going strong. Its brilliant in the rain and sun and everything.

Just pick up a cheap box of latex gloves. I wear them under my gloves when it's cold/wet and ya don't feel a thing. Even keeps the heat in a little ?

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - unfazed - 28-09-17

The gloves are waterproof, but now they are waterlogged  :rolleyes

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - mtread - 28-09-17

Or in emergency, use a pair of the 'diesel gloves' you can get free at most petrol stations. They also allow you to get your hands smoothly back into wet gloves if you have to take them off.

To be honest Skipper the picture above it the replacement for the lost one, exactly the same hat and I have replicated the decoration that was on my old friend onto this new friend.
My original was about 13 years old and the new one has recently had its 5th birthday. I spray it with leather water proofer  each year, hence the slightly shinny look it has taken on-board, I think the word is patina, as before it was a suede leather look.


I agree they cannot be beaten as a hat for any time of the year, great at keeping the sun out of you eyes, helping keep you head cool in the summer and warm in winter.
I worked as a self employed brickie and that hat was my best friend, I wear glasses and working outside in the rain used to drive me mad with rain on my glasses it was like trying to drive a car with no wipers,you wipe them off with the back of your hand and they are left all smeary bloody dangerous when working with sharp tools or even swinging a hammer.
Don my Barmah, end of troubles, rain drips off the wide brim way from your collar leaving glasses squeaky clean and Crystal clear. I replaced my hat within one day of returning from Wales, but hasten to add it was about £12 dearer than the first, but still best 45 quid anyone could spend. 




Addition: I have seen some on eBay but not convinced they are not rip off of the Barmha.

I have just recommended this trick to a mate as his gloves are as good as mine (crap). As Mtread says, it makes putting wet gloves back on a whole lot easier. As they take up so little room you can carry several pairs.

They're also useful if you arrive at a crime scene ?

Presuming they're leather and not textile, *do not* be tempted to put them on radiators etc because that will just ruin the leather.

Instead, get some rice and pour it into the gloves which will absorb the moisture, then use a leather conditioner (you can get it from good shoe shops) to keep the leather supple.

Went to meet Moff and the rest of the boys in Moffat, they looked a wee bit wet when we met but they were well up for their mini tour.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dudeofrude - 03-10-17

Took off my whole exhaust system, gave it all a good clean and polish, new gaskets all round and reinstalled it with copious amounts of exhaust sealant. What a difference it made, I had a couple of minor leaks before but now it's all airtight ? the throttle response is much better and the noise has got even more intoxicating ??

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - apage16 - 04-10-17

Ordered mine a nice black Storm (by Mivv) Oval endcan in black. Despite the fact that I haven't even picked the bike up yet! Nothing like being prepared eh!?
