I'm assuming bike comms?
Looks interesting.


It has Ham frequencies among others, if you buy two you can legally use it on certain channels without a licence, and in any emergency contact anyone you can hear.
I actually want it for work but also when out green laning as round here NYMoors there is still practically no mobile cover.
Range is up to 50 miles on full power.

If you're interested search for reviews or on youtube, mine hasn't arrived yet but I'm familiar with similar models they are good value but somewhat complicated to set up.

Our liberal shit head PM will be gone this October. Either way the majority of firearms (about 15-20 million in country) are not registered which l am sure a lot will disappear just like some full auto AK`s etc did back in the 1970`s

Only pistols/short barrel rifles are registered with myself only having a registered 1911A1 pistol .

Bought an R&G tail tidy for the MT09 today to get rid of that ridiculously gopping arm that sits on the back end.

I also ordered the comfort seat for the MT09, as a 200 mile trip on the standard seat, with its terribly narrow perch, has ruined my pert and glorious arse.

A new number plate.
It might be smidge smaller than the original, 7x6.
Old plate was looking tatty but I'll hang on to it in case MOT Nazi says no.

32oz of pure ACF50. Had a little squirt of it last night, they should make a magic tree air freshener from it.

Bought more LED lights for the back garden including a PIR one for above the shed door. The shed is finally hooked up
to the mains so I'm lighting the garden up like Blackpool. There will be 8 LED lamps in my back yard by the end of next week.
With more to follow. I like lights. Laughing

Look, I know it's a bike built to a price and all that. But it's a bastard liberty to make you pay extra for the sheer
luxury of a seat you can sit on without it giving you bed sores. I can manage two hours on mine, but they don't
do the opulent comfort seat in my colour scheme so I'm stuck with what I have or will have to have it modified at great expense.

"Oh, you want the comfy seat do you Sir? That'll be extra."

Fuck you Yamaha. Middle Finger Mad

It's certainly criminal to make you pay extra for comfort, I'll definitely agree.

I was over at the dealer that I bought the bike from and there was a guy testing out the "comfort seat" on a demo MT09 as he was having the same issues as me.

I had a sit on said seat for a good 5 minutes and there was a definite difference between it and the standard seat. There was much less of a ridge and a lot flatter surface to accommodate a person's rear end.

Hopefully it'll make a difference.

It's far better than that.

Nobby lives a couple of hundred meters up the road and I figure that his baby will enjoy making loads of noise therefore I ordered that lot from America.

Like the time when I was the absent father with access on a Saturday. I gave my 5 year old son a small but real hammer to take back to his mothers.
The end result was smashed wall sockets, holes in doors and broken ornaments.
Well worth it!

He did try quite hard, though.

He already has a variety of sound making devices but kazoos will be new.

I got an email from 7dayshop advertising a Remington quick bonce shaver gizmo gizmo.
Decent by all accounts and at a reasonable discount so the plunge I did take.
I'm intrigued by the curved cutting edge.


Very good head shaver, may even be the best I've owned.
As the name suggests, its quick. Probably because the cutting edge is wide and curved and the blades are new, they easily match the performance of mains powered clippers in terms of power.
I just felt like I didn't need to keep going over and over like I usually do.
Also I think it's the shortest cut of all the clippers I've had.
I also like the fact that you can use it while its charging.

Yeah, money well spent. Thumbs Up
