Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

Re: TT 2018

I think more and more people are thinking the whole TT experience is getting too expensive. Unfortunately money men are starting to call all the shots.

TT 2018

Had an email today from the Steam racket Co saying they have spaces available for bikes on TT weeks. Seems they might finally have pushed their prices hikes too far.

Re: New gear

Alpinestars and RST are now made by the same people.

To be honest unless you can afford made to measure stuff, the rest is all pretty similar. I still like my Dainese jackets and jeans as I think the quality is the best for off the peg stuff.

Re: going electric

I also don’t see how getting stuck in the snow in an electric vehicle is any different to getting stuck in a diesel or petro car.
