Jimmy you’re only saying that cos he rides a Triumph ?

So basically Cynic you’re going to be twice the boring old fart we all know & luv ? yer not on your mate I’m not far behind you it’s chocolate I find the hardest

Sound! I’m in

With any luck Slice I’ll be at the back on 400 beleave it or not, I’ve had since 1982 & never dropped it. come close a few times though!

Wouldn’t be a show without punch I’ll be there

Cheer up mate at least you’re still in one peice ? what doesn’t kill yer makes you stronger

Hi Bipp glad to see you back

I have to agree, makes a lot more sense than f#cking up the bike you have. Sorry I know its not the advice you were hoping for but that's the best advice honesty.

Well guys I have my long weekend sorted, I'm off to Isle Of Man later I'm all packed ready to go. Sorry you couldn't make it this time Drewp, I'm taking my son with me, mainly so I'll have someone to drink with when all the southern softies have gone to bed. I'll have pint for you Drew, get well soon mate

Yes I know jimmy, but it's so hard to explain it in text compared to video and I can't understand most of what you say anyway you do make a cracking brew though

Hi Justin if you’re having difficulty in taking them apart believe me it’s a lot harder to put them back together. YouTube is your best bet there are plenty of how to clips on fork seal & oil change which will give you a much better picture than anyone here trying to explain

Just bought a Scorpion exo 510 for £90 on eBay, well impressed with it well worth a look

Looks great blackie, glad the weather held for you, one for the bucket list me thinks

Yes I think so, I always think it’s time to replace when they start showing sings of wear but then I look for any excuse to get a nice shiny new helmet, better safe than sorry and they say the average lifespan of a helmet is around 5 years so it’s not far off really.

Hi Simon it might help if we know what you’re helmet is made of

Hi Frank you’re doing well so far you’ve managed to find the newbie section welcome to YOC

Hi welcome to YOC, nice bike

Well he missed a trick, I could have supplied him with tracings to have new ones made up, I actually have the original tank decals for the red model in a draw somewhere which I won’t use. I guess some people just don’t like saying hi ?

Hi Logan do yourself a favour and say hi in the new members section You'll get a much better response.

Yep Drew will be back to finish soon. I text him yesterday, he’s just out of hospital. I’ll let him tell you but it’s nothing to do with the trip. ? hope you’re feeling better Drew see you soon

I’m really happy with my AGV Compact it’s by far the best helmet I’ve ever owned which isn’t saying a lot as apart my first helmet back in the eighties I’ve got by with budget helmets, anyway I’ve been looking for a new helmet for my son as I’m taking him to IOM for classic TT and can’t bring myself to stick a Cheepo lid on him and also he’s same size as me which means I get another lid after IOM. So after a bit of research (google) I decided on a Scorpion Exo 510, first impressions it looks really well made the amount of features it has compared to anything else in it’s price range is really impressive it has inflatable cheek pads for the perfect fit also cheek pads come with an emergency removal system so helmet can be removed easier in the event of an accident. All the vents are multi position and can be opened and closed while riding with gloves on, the interior tinted visor is 3 position height adjustable, outer visor is pin lock ready and the pin lock comes in the box, I haven’t fitted it yet but apparently it’s max vision so no edges to peer around like on my AGV. I went out for test ride today and was well impressed it’s much quieter than my AGV which isn’t really a fair comparison as that a flip front, there are probably quieter helmets out there but you’ll be hard pressed find one with the features this has for anywhere near the same money.

? nice one jimmy but you did make me look again to see if I’d received a message and I’m not sure if Alex has fixed it or if it was there all along and I couldn’t find it but it’s there now. Thanks Alex ?

Hi Alex my pm disappeared quite a while ago but to be honest I thought it was something to do with the new privacy laws and had been removed from the whole site, so everyone else still has it?

Hi Alex I’d just like to say I don’t like change, it looks less and less isn’t good. I’d like more not less, what’s happened to our pm messages? Which has been missing a while I know but haven’t got round to questioning it and what’s with the banner I liked the old one, you could instantly recognise it, not like the new effort which looks instantly forgettable. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it I say ok mini rant over I feel better now
