The problem with making the visor too dark is when you move from bright light into a darker area (tunnel, tree canopies etc) your eyes aren't able to accommodate quickly enough so they tend to aim for a light tint to try and cover both bases. When its really bright I use sunglasses and the sun visor together, that combo works well cos you can flip up the sun visor in shaded areas but still have the sunglasses for when bits of bright light breaks through.

64 if I make it that far

A BSA at that.

Excellent. I was surprised. I thought you’d end up with a new house! Loved the deer crossing your path

Phantom pain is definitely a co-codamol thing. Try a couple of spoonfuls of this in a cup of tea or anything unfizzy. So many patients bung up after painkillers and this seems to be the most effective least awful solution. It's almost completely tasteless and doesn't alter texture like most disgusting concoctions. Although its best to start taking it before the painkillers cos once you're backed up its a different matter! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Resource-Optifibre-250g/dp/B019552U4Y?th=1 -

TLDR buy the ibuprofen and co-codamol separately and layer them. They have completely different actions so it depends on the cause of the pain. If the pain is caused by anything inflammatory (it often is) then the ibuprofen would be more effective than the codeine in co-codamol. If the cause of the pain is unknown or not inflammatory codeine which works to alter your perception of pain rather than acting on the cause would be the best choice. The nuramol if its 200/500 and you take two tablets is the full dose of ibuprofen and paracetamol which would mean you couldn't then take the co-codamol with it. Layering individual painkillers is the best way to go. That way you can take the maximum or minimum you need to control pain. Buy the co-codamol and the ibuprofen separately. Take the co-codamol and wait an hour, if thats not done the trick take the ibuprofen. These are safe to take together but are often staggered to take it easy on the liver! If this also doesn't do the trick then its GP time for something stronger but whatever they give you will likely be opitate based and these type of painkillers have diminishing returns ie you body produces more receptors for them so they have a decreasing efficacy and aren't really something you want long term. ps codeine and opiates really constipate a lot of people so if you end up going down that route then soluble fibre is a good addition! -
Yep garaged at home was the only criteria I found that made any difference too.

I think the padlock thing is a complete con, in this area it makes no real difference to the premium. I rang the insurance company and asked for a quote with a lock and without, it made £7 difference. So no way I’d commit to something that would let them off the hook if I forgot it. Also asked them for a quote with and without pillion cover and that made zero difference. As insurance companies are scum I’m resigned to the idea I’d be lucky to get anything out of them. I only bother because the one thing they do is protect other drivers from your own mistakes.

That’ll be interesting

True, its is a civic duty but if you're going to be left seriously out of pocket (especially considering what's on the horizon cost of living wise) its no joke. A lot of people cant afford to lose two weeks wages. I'm currently exempt because the emergency Covid medical register hasn't closed yet, it'll be sods law I get summoned when it shuts end of September

You're a fussy lot.

I've got two really nice looking full face lids, an open face and an 'adventure' helmet and never use them because the proof of the pudding is in the eating and I always go for the flip lid, its just better. I bought the Neotec II which was much lauded in 2018 and I loved it, then 2021 bought the heavily discounted much maligned Schuberth C4 for using in Spain (maligned due to the crap integrated coms system that I won't ever be using). I rode back wearing the Schuberth and haven't once worn the Neotec since, even though its a good helmet the Shuberth is more comfortable and quieter. I don't know anyone who regrets buying a flip lid. Nice catch on the dual homologations, most folk miss that completely. I think the Scorpions look the bees knees.

They've probably kept it at the same amount, you just cant buy fuck all with it now

If I lived that far away I'd ask to defer, they often never call back, no loss of earnings no squabbling over parking n petrol, no traffic queues.

Surely they don't expect people to travel that far and put you up nearby?

I thought they were supposed to be a bit chewy. Tapioca flour usually is

I knew it was predominately a Brazilian breakfast thing but there seems to be some Portuguese connection. Not sure serving a chewy cheese ball for breakfast would go down well here Roast with coal grilled butter baguettes sounds excellent.
