New Year, New Set Up. WELCOME BACK!

Pinlock tip aswell. Make sure by no means you touch the inside of the pinlock. All it takes is one fingerprint with a little grease/dirt/ oil on it and you will steam in that spot. I was always taught to clean them with soapy water should you need to 👍

Hi Ricky. Happy new year. Just watched this at 7.30 followed by PM announcement to lock us down again. Watching you out on your bike made me excited to get out for a good ride. I have the same set up on my lid. Hero8 with power pack. Great as lasts all day.

Happy new year Richy! Relatively new to biking and love my Shark S900 lid so far. Brackley, Northamptonshire. No snow but temp is hovering around 0 most days 🥶

[@markmorgan3208]

And a happy new year to you. It's great to see the familiar sights of Derbyshire as well as your commentry/reviews. And the road-collapse into the Derwent - it was hardly wide before! No snow here though. Recovering from a 40c Christmas day ... down to low-mid 30s now - Perth, Western Australia. Please think about getting that powerbank out of your jacket and maybe into a tankbag ... I know, cables. In the event of an off, if the battery gets damaged it could catch fire violently and burn very hot for a long time - and you won't be able to remove it or your jacket in time to prevent significant injury. Just being selfish ... I don't want anything to stop your videos coming ;)

Hi there 🥳🙋‍♂️ Welcome back ! I’m impressed that you can manage all these tech stuff. I have my self a Schuberth C4 Pro helmet , and I swear that everything worked just fine between my helmet and my GSA when I left my dealer in march last year. But on my 2nd ride the day after nothing worked. My 5 day trip to Nordkapp I did in july last year with a friend of mine , who also have the same helmet as me , we did this epic trip without communication. He had the same problem. We used gestures 🤣.

Wired in is the best option, I always run the drift from a power bank in inside jacket, 13 hour battery life and always wear in ear phones with Cardo, never could get used to the helmet speakers. Next year we need a generator on the bike 😂🤘🏻

[@davidthomas6681]

If you have the KEIS heated jacket, there are connectors for gloves (and trousers and insoles) built in to the sleeves so the only wire you have from the gloves is a short connector to go to the sleeves of the jacket (wires then go from the bottom of the jacket to the battery for hard wired version). Same for trousers and insoles etc. During the cold weather I wouldn't be without my heated gear...but then I am a wimp :-)
