Title: They said it would
Post by: O.C. on April 15, 2016, 08:30:15 PM
The forecast said it would snow today, so as I had an hour or two spare early afternoon,  I thought it would have been rude not to take a little bimble to Masham where I enjoyed  a tasty bacon bun and a great cup of tea........nothing special to report except they were right.........










Its snowing now, welcome springtime   :mfr_lol:

Even I had a little bimble today, I headed out to The Ponderosa Cafe at Llangollen, cold as  :censored:  on the way there and wet as  :censored:  on the way back. Lol, I couldn't have picked a worse day for a bike ride.  :mfr_lol:

It did turn very cold Steve, and I got a soaking walking the dog at about 4pm,  luckily it was dry whilst I was out on the bike   :clap:

George, Its a Givi Trekker Outback 42 ltr, actually the photo makes it look much bigger than it is, it only fits one helmet,  but it is super strong and has a very secure lock mechanism   :yes:

What are you suggesting  :whistling: 

My helmet is modelled on the one Big Ed wears at BSB rounds   :mfr_lol:

Is that the Quantum I see on the floor ?  Was looking at that today, but cant decide on the colour.

I ve been told it performs very well ........

yes its the quantum st pro, which has a drop down outer visor/shield which is great for me as I struggle with bright light, I have experienced the outer shield snapping down a couple of times unexpectedly which is a bit irritating. Overall the quality of manufacture is excellent.

Arai helmets fit my head and are comfy for me, this one is even more comfy than usual because it was much cheaper than RRP.  :mfr_lol: 

I dont think this colour is still available though   :smiley:
