Re: Depreciation?

I think, for cars, the accepted average depreciation on a new car within the 1st year after buying it is about 40%. In another of my hobbies, Amateur Radio, most people looking to buy a reasonably new radio, say about 1 or 2 years old, will be looking to pay about half what the original price was. S...

Re: Big man tent

:?: https://www.freezeproshop.com/msr-elixir-4-v2-tent/colour:147267/path[offset]:6/path[search]:Msr%20tent Or this MSR Elixir 4; I know its allegedly a 4 person tent but weight and pack size are not outrageous. The diagonal corners probably have different post codes ! Is it just me, or does anyone...

Re: Oh my god! Another tent!

I'm starting to think about a taller tent for this rally season. I managed with a smaller two man tent last year, as I already had it and I could often go and sit with friends in their taller tents, but that's not always going to be an option and I would like to be able to stand up to get changed. I...

Re: Sena comms

I have a Sena 20s. This unit has 2x Bluetooth chips, so it connects to 2 different connections at the same time, eliminating this problem. That's basically what Sena told me. For me, that's the expensive option as I already have the SMH10B and, for the occasional time when I want turn by turn and t...

Re: Electric Bikes... the Future?

I'd be interested. Either as a second bike for days out, when I knew I'd either be in range to get back OK, or else to places that I knew that there was a place to recharge, maybe whilst having a meal, a break, or at one of the places that people take a ride out to, or to replace my MT-09 Tracer, ev...

Bits for MT-09 Tracer

I'm posting this explanation, so that people don't get the wrong idea that I'm some sort of closet motorbike gear dealer. I bought a job lot of stuff from a guy who had decided to change from an MT-09 Tracer to a different make and model, but he took off all the extras before he traded it in. I want...

Re: Sena comms

If you do go for Sena, and I have the SMH10B and some of my friends the SMH5 versions, then watch out for one 'feature'. If you have the bluetooth connected to your SatNav, for turn by turn guidance, and then connect to other riders bluetooth units, when the SatNav gives you an instruction it will d...

Re: Hartside cafe

Whilst I've never been, so have no personal experience, like most places it has good and bad reviews on various websites. There are 16 one star reviews on Trip Advisor, for example. That isn't quite a very balanced view though is it? when there were 178 reviews giving it 4/5 stars Reviews (258) Tra...

Re: MALVERN HILLS RALLY 2018

As today is the last day of the rally, I wonder how it went?

Weather seemed a bit variable and, what with it being Mothering Sunday today, I had a few things that I needed to get done.

Plus, I didn't see the anouncement until it was too late to book anyway.
