  1. I used one of these regularly - it got cold and wet one winter morning and stopped working but was replaced under warranty and is back on my spare lid. On one trip up into Scotland, the battery was flat after about 12 hours use so be aware for longer trips. I'm now using a Cardo Scala Rider G4 as it's got an FM radio and a matched set for SWMBO's lid, other than that I'd still be using it. Enjoy!
  2. I was reckoning we could pay for our trip by taking a few wee ones back! [emoji6][emoji965][emoji106]
  3. Cheers guys. It's our return I'm trying to plan so I'll have to fit in a stopover close to Calais in order to guarantee our 2 hour time slot. Thanks again.
  4. A group of us are heading over to the Somme Centenary next year and intend to do some touring around Europe before heading for home. Having never used the Eurotunnel before I'm looking for advice as to whether we should book our tickets in advance or is it ok to just land to the terminal in Calais when we're ready to go home? I would rather we had some flexibility on our trip. Thanks in advance, Al
  5. Cat, friend request sent on FB. Being in NI I'm too far away but I'd like to see the pics of the turnout please. Cheers, Al Geddes
  6. Take a look at police in Northern Ireland. All officers armed with pistols for their own protection both on and off duty yet there are fewer firearms incidents than in Yorkshire which is a similar size. Ultimately the public adapt to seeing armed officers and the gun is usually the last thing an officer reaches for in a confrontation but at least he or she knows it's there. There are armed response officers and specialist firearms officers just like other forces but all other officers also happen to routinely carry pistols.
  7. You'll put a lot of stress on your drive shaft trying to bump start an RT
  8. They talked about dominating the lane and yes it's the dirty part of the lane but it's usually the driest too and less cars drip oil these days. I can only pass on what he told me. They were concerned about "encroachment" so you could well be right in your assessment.
  9. Centre lane is where the police are teaching their riders to use now. Got advised about it on my bike safe course earlier this year.
  10. Cheers for that - I have a Bluetooth helmet kit but this might be more my cup of tea!
  11. Do you use this just for music or do you use it for calls too? If you use it for calls, how does the mic work on the bike?
  12. Take a photo or video of your problem and post it. Don't forget to tell us what sort of bike you're talking about?

    HELP!!!

    I used to have a 1990 pre divvy XJ600 - it was similar after sitting for a while and with the choke on. Take her for a good run with the choke off and see how she goes. Also be sure and join the XJRiders.com forum for plenty of advice from XJ current owners.
