Something good did come out of seeing the Beemer!

Me and the wife were looking at it and I pointed out the Quadlock bracket.

She didn't know what it was so I explained how it worked......she thought at first they were just for Beemers.

When I told her they fit on all bikes she said "Why haven't you got one?". I said that despite the old bracket being ugly and awkward to use I wanted to get some use of it.

So she said that was just stupid considering how good the Quadlock is and I should order one!

Now if I'd come out and said I want a Quadlock I'd have got the Spanish Inquisition.

One for @Slowlycatchymonkey!

I'd seen a pair of Enfields here over the past few months always going into town....mmmmmm, I wish I had the bottle to try one but I’m too prejudiced in my views.

Very nice people......fuck knows why they spoke to me?

Spent today picking up the old FZ6N. Got a lift up to Alicante by a good mate that owed me a favour and then spent a few hours making my way back home across country. Some great roads and scenery but I was having far too much fun to stop and take photos.

Whilst at the dealers I had a browse around their showroom and saw a VERY nice KTM 990 SMT…….. not particularly cheap and the photos don’t do it justice but in the flesh it’s drop dead gorgeous (a bit like me apparently 🤣).

Mmmmmmmmmm 😜

Am I right in thinking that I need the support bracket for the handlebar, and the universal adapter that sticks to your existing case?

Mr Slowly has quadlock on one bike and ‘Peak Design’ (very highly rated quadlock type thing) on another and they're both good. 

The adapters that stick to your phone don’t feel that secure, they cannot be put on silicone cases. Mr Slowly used the quadlock adapter on his case for one trip and bought the dedicated case. 

The support bracket is a standard ram mount.

Look on Amazon for Tusita, basically a knock off Quadlock.  Half the price.  I have an old iphone 6S that I use for nav in a Tusita case, it fits my Quadlock mount perfectly.    I wouldn't put my main phone in one, daft to risk a spendy phone, but it does grip my shit at the price of Quadlock Cases.

It's the almond season......so Bethan and Dewi get two massive portions of almonds every day! At no cost either!

Bethan looking good for it......

I'll stick with the Quadlock......don't want to take a chance with my Samsung!

The support bracket gets here tomorrow and the universal bracket on Tuesday.

Why does Dewi have a brand on his hind quarters Pete ?

It's so pete knows the girl from the boy at a glance....

Can take the boy out of Wales but you can't take Wales out of the boy if you get my gist

He's bred from a well known and desirable Andalucian strain......very large horses.

So Antonio recommended that Dewi had his particular branding making him easily identifiable in the event of theft. 

He's had that since he was about 6 months old.

Where’s @Pedro ? Still in the uk ?

Yes, Lee on the solent for the last two nights, now heading out not too far away but not sure were we’ll sleep except going to see a motoring museum.

It’s been interesting, mostly visiting Sofia’s friends over the last few days. Ferry from Plymouth on Sunday.
