Sky called us several times to say that we have to be switched to full fibre broadband, they came, took one look at the alarm system that is fitted in the bungalow and said "We cannot switch you with this system installed".....from what he said in a year or 2 we will have very slow Internet and streaming could be a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our present broadband set up is OK at the moment, tv is fine, but we get buffering when streaming a film, we do not watch much TV, we mostly watch stuff that we have recorded.. Virgin is another provider who won't install full fibre in here because of the alarm system..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent set of grips is thems, I used them on my courier bike in 2012, couple them with bar muffs and you don't need gloves even in the coldest crappest weather, but id never advocate riding without wearing gloves 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got them on the scoot, previous owner fitted them, I myself have never turned them on, maybe if I rode in the colder months I would, but that is very unlikely to happen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago The hot grips were a birthday present for my daughter’s friend who I got through her CBT. She is a genuine keen biker who sufferers from Reynard’s Syndrome so gets very cold extremities. Perfect gift I thought from our family to her as she commutes to Truro so genuinely needs them. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing worse than being cold on a bike, i can deal with getting wet but can't stand getting cold 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the right thermal gear to wear but it’s not always convenient to change out of it at work so I appreciate it’s difficult for our friend with Reynards to ride to work in the colder months. She will be better off when she passes her test and can get something with more protection to ride. Her little CBR is good as 125s go but not ideal for cold weather commuting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best weather protection I had was my 1978 BMW R100RS, that bathtub fairing was excellent. To be fair my CBF600S with a touring screen isn't at all bad but the BMW was king with two bloody great cylinders keeping your feet warm and dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair my CBF600S with a touring screen isn't at all bad but the BMW was king with two bloody great cylinders keeping your feet warm and dry. The Chinky has a large vent on either side of the fairing, which was just the right height to blow warm air over my upper legs, it was a blessing on cold trips, but a torment it the summer I keep looking at the (non running) CFMOTO 650 that's for sale at £450 on Marketplace, but the price of a ECU replacement is a expensive problem to rectify.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My '83 VF Sabre w/ the old skool Windjammer was hard to beat when the weather turned sour...ample hand protection & a created vacuum over the gauges that stirred up the heat from the motor to help keep the front of my 1-piece rain-suit reasonably dry... do miss that Corbin seat though...quite comfy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YamaHead Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago After hunting down the proper tools to finish this project, I can honestly say the back porch is ready for Winter... It did get frustrating at times trying to just hold on to the screw gun & the new electric shear I bought to trim down the metal for the oddball sized panels....blasted hook can be real PITA sometimes. But at least it's done... now onto getting the lawn mowed & getting my 2nd truck running properly...hopefully just a fuel filter change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
