Pedro Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 5 hours ago, Slowlycatchymonkey said: I’ve just been going through some of this with a biker mate who’s bought a place in France. We reckon a boot dryer (that also dries gloves) and a compressor for pumping up your tyres in the morning would be a nice touch for a small outlay that would return extra stars in the reviews. In these post covid times one would think maybe a shared boot and glove drier wouldn’t be ok with health inspections. If you’ve got the space for overnight hanging of most things, a dehumidifier pointed to the wet stuff sorts most things. I would captivate bikers by telling them the weather is always great myself.

Well as it’s still possible to hire boots for skiing or helmets and bike gear or bowling shoes or ice skates I don’t think it’s a great concern. Space to hang clothes in a cave and dehumidifier might be a tall order Tis more about considering your guests needs and making them feel cared for. Thats the bit that gets the smiles…and the ratings. I take a piece of string with me and tie it across the room and have sewing clips that are like teeny tiny little pegs, but two peoples wet gear on that is too much. It doesn’t all fit even in a decent size room and wet it’s heavy - sometimes the fittings look like they might come right off the wall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you come out to the south of Spain as planned in July you will feckin fry but it does still rain, not very often but it’s a blessed relief even in June. May is about as hot as you’d want to be riding in and sometimes that’s waay HOT! Even now with any gear on stopped is a bit to too toasty. However march is variable. What you say @XTreme when would you ride in Spain? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
