I’ve literally just bought one of those after using my phone to relay directions into my helmet via Bluetooth. I’ve read many good reviews and it’s good for the cyclist in you too.
A quick week in France to import my bike and I’ve decided that I need a new seat as this one killed my arse. I just kept slipping forwards.
Quality pic.
Ferry was mad busy.
Landed on Monday early doors and I’m going back to the U.K. on Saturday. Appointment with the douanes tomorrow to get the tax clearance done.

Yup. I only took him once a few years ago. It was late summer and I picked him up from a shoot for a Christmas special. Everyone on set was wearing Christmas jumpers and scarves. Made me laugh. Nice bloke.
As a follow on from this here’s a couple of pics of me being rubbish off road on a Limobike “training weekend” in Portugal. The Husaberg was so much better than me although for a race ready enduro bike it didn’t try to kill me.

You won’t believe how tiring it is. Good fun if you don’t try too hard( I didn’t.) You will fall off. More than once

Yeah looks knackering & painful tbh. I bet it helps bike control skills a lot though, especially for bad weather.

It did teach me that just because you were sliding you weren’t definitely falling off.
