Hey, is it better to get a 12V-24V wireless charging head from Quadlock instead ? It is the one that has to be wired to the battery by wiring through the ignition or the isolator switch in order to not consume power constantly. I am looking to get myself a wireless charging head from Quadlock and I haven't concluded yet to which model.

My problem is 46 years of riding uk roads in all weathers has thought me that you cannot rely on any grip from tyres in the wet yes on clean roads there is about 25% of dry grip but throw in man hole covers and diesel and you have zero grip. Experience has taught me this and no amount of training can convince me otherwise. You never know it goes from clean 25% grip to a manhole cover, which are always on bends, or diesel. Add in country lanes with mud and gravel ( the most dangerous surface hazard ) and I’m having to stick to less than 40 mph, which on a pan European is a bit of a waste. In notice you don’t have gravel and manhole covers.

Oooops! Just bought one, fitted to my Lithium battery, and wishing I had seen your great video before! With, so many bikes now using Lithium, why the bugger haven't they addressed this problem... Luckily the Wireless charger has an Off/On button! To be fair to them it does say it in the small print on their website.... Easily missed though!

I'm absolutely sick and tired of idiots in f'ing cars. No matter how careful I am they always seem to not respect u or be distracted. Just this week, I was at a traffic light in front of a pick up, and when I was abt to slowly take off again I stopped suddenly bc someone on a bike got in front of me. The mf in the car behind rear ended me, For not keeping the distance. It was just a small bump nothing happened but still. Then I was downtown behind a suv waiting for the fool in front to make his f'ing mind up and decide to enter the parking lot on the side, I kept waiting like everyone else behind him. He never entered the lot and instead started to reverse slowly, Almost hitting me from the front, just slightly touching my tire and fender after I was finally deciding to slowly overtake him. Due to him never making his f'ing mind up. Despite having plenty of room to enter the parking lot and therefore not having the need to reverse. I was keeping my distance perfectly but he didn't see me or was distracted as usual with these brainless fools. I'm seriously sick of this. It makes me not wanna ride again.

Any flat ice has is a punch flat or split in the tube or valve stem. After going through so many tubes I’ve switched exclusively to heavy duty. I don’t it the added heat argument at all. I don’t think heavy would be required on road I would never expect a tube or tire to resist a puncture

When I add myself to any bike, that's the most carbs they will ever have, and it's way too many. 160kg (353lb) 😂 Damn, I feel my weight crushes every bike like crazy, and it's not a good feeling, even when I have my regular weight (140kg/308lb) it's still way too much. On that note, which shocks/springs (spring rate) front and back would you recommend for me?

A great mantra that Neil, and a good safe riding video too. It seems we need more safe riding tips and not just for the newbies, locally two bikers, aged 57 and 54 both died last week, after a head on collision on Sheffield moor. I have noticed another worrying trend amongst a certain group of bikers and that's the "I'm on my bike I've got to pass!" I have been shocked at some of the riders out in North Yorkshire a couple of weeks ago, especially on the road to Hawes. I found a quote next day by an ex-police motorcyclist claiming it is part of North Yorkshires mini TT course. Ride safe and happy.

THANKS matey, I actually think the motorists in the UK do this FAR better than they do here in South Australia, the lack of traffic compared allows a lackadaisical attitude and it really shows, as we get more road users (more recently we are) there's a lot of problems coming to light, and collisions! You should see people trying to enter freeways which I'll cover in part 2. People coming to a complete halt on entry slip roads is entertaining if nothing else 😄
