HJC are decent as are AGV you get get a K5 for £notmuch now, Shoei Ryd is also a decent lid for not too much cash.

Plenty of kit reviews in ride magazine, if you want a full goretex laminate jacket which will guarantee to keep you dry oxford do the mondail jacket for about £220 ish.

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

New one on me. Apparently only five on these flat fours were built.

I asked how it went but they admitted they were too scared to try and start it in case it lunched itself...
I knew someone who had one back in 1990. He also owned a 1980 Charade and a fit bird which was surprising as he was a complete bellend.

Thinking of finally doing my bike test - does the panel think it’s worth getting a 125 of my own or should I do the full DAS and then get myself something less embarrassing?
All the 125s I see for sale at anything like a price I could consider look as if they would struggle to pull my Lardy and distinctly unaerodynamic frame around at anything over walking pace.
