Haven't ridden it properly in a while so went out for a bit of ride around London. Got back 3 hours later with some Chocs from Dark Sugars mmm! & shopping. Went to chain up the bike only to hear some odd hissing sound and of course there's my nail in there. Brilliant!



So that ride is going to cost me a new rear tyre, fab!
 
Out of interest, has anyone successfully made a group on their Sena 20S with more than 4 people in it? In the app, a few times we've made groups of 5, but only ever got 4 at a time to join :(
 
Never successfully joined another person lol.

Ever thought about a group phone call and use your phones? Can't go out of range either then
 
Anyone bought kit from atheleteshop.co.uk?

They're UK based (in Dorset) and have some VERY good prices on gear - helmets/jackets etc. i.e:

New Schuberth R2 at £345 https://www.athleteshop.co.uk/schuberth-r2-enforcer-motorcycle-helmet-fluo-yellow-278745 cheapest by far, £420 is the normal price (bear in mind these aren't even out yet...)

Furygan raptor at £330 https://www.athleteshop.co.uk/furygan-raptor-jacket-men-black-white-230824 - most places are £400, some are £380.

If they're legit (they've been going since 2006 so they seem to be!) I know where I'm buying some kit from!! :D

Their SSL certificate says Netherlands, so stuff might come from there? Check on fc-moto and motocard as well if you're not worried about buying from overseas (might be a pain if you order the wrong size or whatever).

Their domain has only been registered 2 years.

Cheers, yeah a quick google suggests mixed reviews, deffo NL based and just have a UK office by the looks of it. Motardinn is another with good prices, based overseas.

Joining one is very easy. To be fair, joining up to 4 is very easy, but that fifth doesn't seem to connect.

A 3 or 4 hour long phone call probably isn't a good idea, no. I would imagine there would be quite a few disconnects too as you ride through the countryside. At least the Sena connects people back in when they're in range. I would also expect it would hammer your phone battery.

I was going to order something from there, but by the look of the website I didn't...

Since nice weather is coming along, what would you guys say to have a meet somewhere? I was thinking Grafham Waters maybe? :)
 
Took the long way home after being a dirty stop out last night. Great ride so I decided it should be topped off with a McDonald's breakfast.

Came out all happy, dropped my lid ruined my mirrored visor. Very expensive breakfast :(

My visor saved my Shoei, took all the force from the drop. Not a single mark on the Shoei! :D
