Technology is great. I'm in Berlin but got a notification on my phone and had a video chat with the Postman and told him to leave with one of my neighbours.

I want a quickshifter..... but heated grips might be first :D

A new oil dipstick for my misses sisters car. Her sister has just passed the driving test and has an older car which when I was checking all the fluids I found out her dip stick was broken! Ordered a new one from dealership came the next day but picked up today due to work.

Also ordered a new rear wiper arm as hers is broken so waiting for that to come through the post and I'll fit both at same time

Also got a MSS bobble hat :P More excited about that to be honest!

Here ya go.. I searched the sofa for pennies and managed to afford this. The hat was part of the gearbox repair package - no point showing a picture of the gearbox as it's the same as every other (y)

My old helmet is 7 years old and the innerds are littered with cracks. With my track record of head injuries I thought it best to avoid unnecessary risk of injury.

I know quite a few have had issues with the HJC visors cracking. I was watching a video the other day where the guy reckoned its caused by using visor cleaners with chemicals in them. He said to only use water and paper towels.

I'm happy enough with the shell and lining of my hjc, but the visor is a let down. I've got 3 visors, clear, light tint, and dark. The clear is still in its wrapper. Both the dark and tinted are scratched at the top where they hit the seal, and as for the pinlocks... Bloody awful.. at the moment I have to ride with the visor cracked open to keep it clear enough. The pinlocks where fitted by infinity staff and this is the second hjc lid in 6 months with the same issue. I won't be buying another.

Not had an issue with the 7 year old RPHA 10 visor and pin lock but it looks scratched to buggery. Doesn't affect visibility though.

Such a good helmet otherwise and I've never had issues with the visor cracking but only use soapy water

44T Renthal Aluminium Sprocket.

Most commonly recommended gearing by racers for Cartagena (along with the 15T front I already have)

Got it for £6 with my new helmet using a bit of man math

Good looking sprocket too

I got myself a black visor from Motorcycle Live.. £25 for a genuine visor (y)

If I hadn't have gotten the 10% off the helmet then this visor effectively cost me £1
