Re: Staying warm and dry on a motorway one

Just to update, 6 thin layers on top, 3 on the bottom and I survived.

Lucky for me rain stayed at bay so wasn’t a soggy mess either.

Cheers for the advice

Staying warm and dry on a motorway one

My commuting days are over and usually I don't tend to ride over winter but needs must and I have to do a trip to Basingstoke (60 miles each way for me). I have an old heated vest and a fleece, but I still struggle with the cold. Anything I can really do to stay warm other than take the train ...

Dashcam - car, bicycle, motorbike compatible

After getting knocked off my pushbike, I fancy a simple dashcam. Is there one I can use on my car, bicycle and motorbike?

I am not after anything fancy and given I barely do 1000 miles a year I dont need something fancy for the car.

Thanks

Wanted knee armour

wanted knee armour please. The ones in my Royal enfield trousers have literally broken in half.

No point doing a warranty claim as its too much of a faff as I bought them in India.

If someone has some CE marked kit that would work I would be much obligied

cheers

The ones in my toolkit are too big as they are for Honda monoshocks.

I have been given some artwork by friends, who are students. They were damaged during a water leak. How can I assess the value for them?
