  1. Does the potential hearing damage not concern you?
  2. Put it on your Christmas list and see what Santa brings
  3. I have two Sena's. One thats the integrated system in the Shoei Neotec II and a later edition using their much lauded 'Mesh' technology (the 20S and the 50S) The reviewers said they were the best. I'm not impressed with either. Costly, glitchy, difficult to update, dodgy connectivity and ultimately bad for your hearing health. Wish I hadn't wasted the money. The integrated system in the Neotec adds weight to the helmet and is another bloody thing to keep charged. I would for the sake of protecting your hearing not bother with any helmet system. You are left either not wearing ear plugs or turning the volume up to max to get to an audible level. Neither of those solutions is going to do your hearing any favours. The safest and most reliable source of sound are moulded earplugs with speakers integrated in them. This blocks damaging engine and wind noise and allows you to keep the volume down whilst it still being crystal clear. That also saves draining your phone battery. Moulded plugs take a bit of getting used to and are more faff than an in the lid system but no charging needed and what price your hearing? If you go for the custom plugs (they are not cheap) then make them note you want them cut down as low as possible, this will help with adjusting to having solid moulded plugs in your ears. I've used two different companies for these types of ear plugs. One was shite the other good. If you want links let me know and Ill try and find out which one was which! If your feeling determined to go down the in the lid route I'd have a look at amazon reviews as there are much much cheaper alternatives that people rave about. Cardo is a popular alternative to Sena but still pricey. Having had my fingers burnt I wouldnt go down that road again.
  4. For you that is the likely number. Or perhaps sub zero would better suit a someone of your disposition..
  5. Bloody hell they are stunning together. I can foresee sponsors falling over themselves to monetise that. Hope they have a good agent!
  6. I didn't know you were American, I'd guessed you were from planet Loon
  7. Its my favourite bike (with the Livewire a very close second) but its not an all day bike. It has hard suspension and a slightly more aggressive seating position. The GSF1250 is much more suited to cover larger distances. Smoother, more upright seating position, fine to leave if you stop in a less than delightful setting. It crosses into the sports tourer territory well unlike the 9T which is just plain fun.
  8. Oh god its not Marcel embroiled with the local bike is it?!
  9. Just as well brainless cunt Canada is a rare search. Dumb ass Brit or ginger Welsh twat would have given thousands of results
  10. Oh I know the dark side, I just had not seen
  11. Jeez you really dont get the whole link thing. Pete… PETE…. PETER
  12. If I can figure it out I’m damn sure you can. Just look and the buttons, click a few and when you see the correct response continue along the cues.
  13. I did not know the boxer engine is as beautiful as it is.
  14. @Clive suffering from Petes lack of desire to make his shit work on anything other than a PC?
  15. I seriously could not sit at a PC voluntarily for more than an hour or so. The internet and its marvellous distractions has to come with me while I get other jobs done. Apart from when the job is the internet. Like invoicing etc then I’ll tolerate it but thats cos pound signs that to equate freedom are flashing in front of my eyes
  16. Laptops are pretty much the same as PC’s Most peeps now scroll on their phone or tablet whilst watching or doing something else.
  17. Yer thought that would be appreciated by some
  18. Oh I’m pretty certain he took a walk on wild side and tripped all over the place
