    It is often the operators that give them a bad name.......

    took my Speedmaster for a 6m return trip as I moved it out of my garage to access the vice, to fix a hub on my sons Mondeo ST220, and then pushed it back in just before it got dark. It was just a bit too breezy for riding today.

    Yes Dave, a nice Schuberth flip front. A lot nicer than my old HJC one. :cool:
    (It doesn't let water in for a start!)

    You can select a style or click on tools and choose "tune image". Click on the same icon again and just choose "ambience" it combines all of the others and saves adjusting brightness, contrast ect. Then click on the "drama" icon to get a dramatic sky!

    Is that a problem with HJC, water ingress.

    The new Schuberth looks like a nice helmet :cool:

    Well it was with mine after two years! If it rained hard it would leak down from the top of the visor even when tightly closed so you ended up with water droplets on the inside. :mad:
    I think crispey has the same issue with his HJC helmet.

    Installedsome LED lighting strips in the garage (6 of them) powered by a deep cycle battery.
    Then continued working on the bike, tank off, air box off so full access to the innards

    Connected up two mini high intensity LED spot lights either side of the radiator covers and a volt meter in the front cowel, connected through a handle bar mounted switch/button
    Nice job using new wire strippers, solder connections and shrink tubing
    Now I have more lighting to make me even more visible, and I can keep an eye on the batteries health while riding

    I like my hjc and it doesn't leak. I would swap it for a Schuberth.

    I bloody did it!!

    I spent 3hrs ish fitting my my SW Motech centre stand for my 2002 speed triple 955i.

    Things do NOT normally go this well...but it did!

    After weeks of searching and no joy I have also filmed the fitting of it as there were no model specific videos...

    Nothing on the bike. I went and watch my 11 year old grandson go swimming with sharks at the local aquarium; just awesome....

    Edit: Forgot to mention he raised £280 for the shelter charity as well.
