I bought my screen off HPS the maxi in smoked looks great, downside the laminar lip mount broke flat out in top gear, lets say it was a buttock clenching moment, HPS were brilliant sent me a replacement no bother, tried it again, no problems, so probably a faulty mount

I have just fitted MRA screen the taller one, I am five foot ten, and playing with the little wing thingy on top, has improved wind noise at high speed especially noticeable at the higher end of the bikes performance, plus its smoked and looks far better than standard screen.

To be honest you need to get on Hotpoints case, because the ramifications of a fire are truly horrible, I am fully realising how much I lost as I attempt to replace what I can, but pictures, signed prints etc, basically irreplaceable, and my complete collection of Giles :sad:

Well July 08 2015 my LG Condenser tumble drier ignited whilst I was at work (left it with 20 mins to go on cycle, and had cleaned filters that week) moved back in on Jan 22nd 2016, left with clothes I went to work in, so everyone the rule is , do not leave them running while you are not there. PS the Firemen told me 20% house fires are started by washing machines, 11% by tumble driers, so I have bought a Miele gear as replacements, as I have not heard of one of theirs going up in smoke.
Its been a long hard six plus months living out of a suitcase, and happy to be back in my home, with everything new, but its not the same, and what I think of the builders is unprintable lol :tank:

Role on May when I'm off to Italy on the GTR 3000 miles and Mugello to see the great man race :cool:

Well if Marquez had even tried to overtake Lorenzo I would have been ok with final result, he sat behind him and did not really show a wheel to Lorenzo, he showed some fight when Pedrosa tried to pass, ended up slowing both of them down, as for original incident yes he was spoiling Rossis race, and all he had to do was back off and he would not have forced the incident, he stuck his head on Rossis knee, and Rossi reacted. but hey ho there is next year, Mugello here I come.

as a thought My Furygan Goretex lined gloves are now not waterproof, but they are about  4 years old now and used a lot , my Goretex lined Boots by Alpine stars are waterproof and very comfortable.

|I have rst adventure jacket, with waterproof layer in, it is waterproof, I never use the thermal layer because Southern England does not get cold enough to need it, its a bit fiddly with all the zipz and layers but it comes into its own on really hot days and you open all the vents, and smirk at your mates who a dripping sweat lol.

However the RST Trousers bought at same time left me with a wet crotch after a very heavy downpour in Spain (the one that flooded Barcelona) like the Jacket the removable Thermal layer is too warm for me so

I may have just got a rogue pair, as the quality seems reasonable.
