I have Royal Enfield Vamos gloves, butI need one for winters, I think these will work great, given that in my region, temperatures can reach a minimum of 5 degrees Celsius, and not below that, for a month or so the temperatures stay between 5 - 10 degrees Celsius, that’s the coldest part of the winters, and these should be just fine in these temperatures.

I use these all year round. Coupled with some heated grips they are superb.

@ I have the same orange interceptor, in India we don’t have quality heated grips. So I guess I will either buy a separate winter gloves (Royal Enfield Stout gloves seem fine) or before that I will just try wearing a thin thermal glove liner from decathlon. It’s cheap and non permanent solution, if this works then it’s great.😌

You say that the vibator does not vibrate in sync with the music, but that seems impossible to me. I'm pretty sure that it gets more and more rhythmical with higher levels. Just as the original PS2 one.

Two suggestions. First if you’re deleting those deflectors you should replace the original bar end weights, and second, consider a hugger for the rear wheel. I have owned an R90S, K75C, and now a 2012 F800ST which shares a lot of the characteristics of the K75. One standout people don’t discuss are the expanding side cases. These were made for BMW by SHAD , initially I thought they were a gimmick but after 10 years I think they are the best design out there. They are small enough to leave on the bike for everyday riding, and narrow enough for filtering at a stop light. I can get my helmet, jacket and pants stowed and go for a hike or anywhere I don’t want to lug my gear, trouble free!

Coochum! Ta luv, I've got to pass my motorbike full license but there's one I am buying done no miles. Kept. Beautiful bike, just hate driving test centres for bikes. I get nervous as he'll. I am in Liverpool so it's really crazy traffic on Queens drive, East Prescot road and along the old swan. Nightmare, so is she nippy luv? And, the brakes aren't good,? Oh no. Do this motorcycle looks to have back suspension that looks very comfortable. No kick backs? Can I toss a Viking around cones on the back? 😂 CBT then, the world of confusion

I've had mine also since 2019 with about 6000km on the clock, wonderful cheap gravel bike. The only thing I really don't like is the wrist shifters and the crank is abit too flexy. Value wise amazing if you got it for around 280€, the 360 they are asking for atm is crazy.

I do extremely recommend getting wider tires on the bike. I've got Continental RoadSpeed 42mm tires. You need to deflate them to get them past the brakes, but it's alot nicer to ride on gravel.

It's a bit of a nightmare to be honest - you can do it through the app with the helmet connected and the charger plugged in. There's some (crap) instructions on the Sena website. Took me ages to work it out, but it is doable with persistence.

For 150 HP and 1.1 liter engine the top speed 285 kph is weak. I thought this bike run 318 kph. With that performance that bike must runs over 320. The problem is weight and aerodynamic cover.

I just got hold of this this week. Having a lot of fun with it! I cant believe the quality of the graphics, both on the handheld's screen and even when blown up on my 'big TV' via Analogue Pocket Dock. I tested a few other racing game cartridges before settling on this one, and there's a huge visual step down on other titles like Sega Rally and Need For Speed Most Wanted. Aside from the graphics, I'm really enjoying V Rally Mode, making little tweaks to the car's setup to match the track conditions, and choosing what to repair during the service stops. Definitely recommend picking this up, to anyone currently exploring the GBA catalogue.

Shame it's not available in the rally cross mode, as you pointed out, but at least it forces me to use the external view and adds some variety to the experience 🙂

i'd definitely choose the Saturn over the PlayStation if i can only choose one. it was just unfortunate few developers were advanced enough to know how to develop games for new advanced hardware like that. it was not "unheard of" having dual cpu processors but it was obviously not common at the time new hardware like that was being released. the Saturn does transparency just fine, obviously that was one thing developers had to learn how to apply on a hardware design they were not used to, so they either had to get familiar with the hardware and learn or just not apply it or use some other graphical translucent-like feature. mesh gets a bad reputation. it is a good art option for video games but like other types of transparencies it may not be as appealing when used as a feature for some things. i recommend watching this example of what happens when a developer ( jon burton ) takes the time, if available, to actually read & research the hardware to learn how to take advantage of what can be created with it. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqnToWaBqKZmeas there are now plenty of developers who can create games for its hardware with ease.

Looking at a red04 model, (not) riding a xj600 now, but it has issues. This kawa only has 2500km and has all the school brackets still on it. You got off an 1100 is it enough? I am afraid I need/want a tad more, but the majority I ride is 100km weekend trip and a 5k commute and that only in nice weather.
