sure something so pricey should rely on a glorified elastic band to keep an expensive phone safe at three digit velocities.

Are Quadlocks made from aluminium now? I bought one last year direct from their own website and it was plastic.
EDIT: I just went and checked and the cheeky fuckers now make them in aluminium. Fucking cunts.
I bought spacers, knuckle adaptor, iphone 12 pro max cover, stupid poncho, vibration damper and handlebar kit all in cost me £109.75... now you can get an aluminium one for only £10 more. Fuck. ____________________ PRESENT: 2018 BMW S1000XR SE Sport.

AKG K245 open-back headphones.
Previously I was using Superlux HD 668B which are el-cheapo Chinese semi-opens, very plasticy and not particularly comfortable but surprisingly good sound quality for the price.
The AKGs are only a few quid more but a world of difference in the quality of construction and much more comfortable. I like it has a replaceable lead, 99% of the time I bin headphones due to cable damage ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

And back it goes again...
Seriously unimpressed with the interior, it's like the polystyrene bit has been glued in squiffy, as a result I found 4
faults with this lid.
Bluetooth battery cover well off centre. See pics to see mine and a properly manufactured one if I can get the
buggers to uploads to this broken ass website..
Rubber trim around visor aperture twisted in one spot and it will NOT bend back, just returns to twisted and
opposite that on the lid it's failing to hold the breath guard down on the other side.
Righthand polystyrene cheek pad (the bit under the padding so it's glued in and not moveable) bulges out on one
side where it's flush with the visor mechanism on the other side. Looks like this one failed QC and got through anyway.
Seller is totally cool about it and has already issued me a returns note for exchange of the lid. Hopefully that one will be
pukka as I loved it in general, especially the weight or lack of it. If the next one is toshed together too they can have that
back for a refund and it's off to Schuberth for something else. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Another 3 grands worth of MT10 and a pair of Daytona heated grips for said MT10.
https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-de554/images/stencil/500x500/products/2716/18358/heated-grips-78-4-level-built-in-switch-w-protection-open-end__03389.1645549358.jpg?c=2
Chose these because there's no external control box like the OEM+ Yamaha branded ones on the Spacker. But cheaper
and with even more discreet single button controller. I have agreed with Fowlers that since they cant get me Yamaha
ones and don't stock these that I supply and they fit these on the new bike (along with all the other sheeeit).
Apparently Yamaha are having trouble sourcing a new manufacturer for their own brand heated grips, having parted ways
with the last manufacturer they were using. I would have happily had the same again as they've been great but I just can't
find any, so I'm giving these a whirl.
Also a knuckle adaptor and an anti vibration mount for my recently purchased Quadlock mount. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Flash Goombah shades!
I bought some fuckin Versace sunnies on the way to Amsterdam last month, ffs, how the hell did I think *that* was a good idea? What is it with sunglasses. I'm even thinking about going back to contact lenses (varifocal type) ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Today I spent some money in a Waitrose foody section.
Bought some nice ham steaks with fruity sauce and a few nibbles for when the Senior Consort shows up on the weekend.
Luckily it wasn't actual money, it was a voucher I got at Christmas from my paeds consultants so I'll just spend it on Waitrose food until it runs out ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Replacement lid arrived yesterday.
Much better than the first, everything spot on so I did order a
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/KPYAAOSwt1ph1VsO/s-l400.jpg
Photochromatic pinlock insert for said lid. £65
Don't know where else to post this, but I decided out of curiosity to weigh all 4 of my lids and the results are in....
1. HJC F70 Carbon.
https://www.fc-moto.de/WebRoot/FCMotoDB/Shops/10207048/5FC4/CD54/8585/EDB7/5BFB/AC1E/140E/D3A6/F70_CARBON_SOLID_SEMI_FLAT_BLACK_ml.jpg
As yet untested, the latest addition to my collection weighs in (size Large) at 1413g
2. Shark Spartan Carbon.
https://www.tradeinn.com/f/13699/136996896/shark-spartan-carbon-1.2-skin-full-face-helmet.jpg
Had this one a few years. Nice snug lid, quiet and lightweight, mine has a not entirely legal limo black and black
pinlocked visor. Plus there's also the drop down...
My preferred lid on the odd occasion it's really bright and sunny. On the scales, again in a Large it weighs in at 1480g.
3. Biltwell Lane Splitter.
https://www.urbanrider.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/008f5b54fa8158acf29751501a361c85/t/i/titanium1.jpg
Impulse purchase a couple of years ago. No frills polycarbonate lid, no pinlock but a huge selection of reasonably priced
coloured fog resistant visors of which I have 3. Looks mint with a black or silver mirrored visor, but currently my one
in Matt Titanium (same as this pic) is sporting a yellow visor. I like the retro/stig look and the air flow is incredible, the huge
front facing vents are permanently open even if it makes the lid a little noisy. This lid has given me a coldsore before
now, such is the rate of airflow to the mouth area, it can get chilly after a while. My preferred hot/humid day lid. On the
scales, again sized Large it weighs in at 1544g.
4. Shark Speed R Sauer.
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51VPLmaTr3L._AC_SX425_.jpg
And in last place is my first lid, the one I passed my test in and is what I now call my multi media lid as it has a
Sena10s kit wired in and a selection of mics and camera mounts. Weighed with the Sena kit attached and again sized
Large, it comes in at a lardy 1912g. I often have a Drift Ghost camera mounted on this lid on the opposite side of the lid to
the Sena which would tip this to over 2 kilos. I'm quite surprised. It's a fibreglass lid, maybe that's why it's so heavy. I wear
this one with its original (absolutely unmarked) clear visor whenever I want to film stuff, have a bimble with some music on
or plan on being out after dark. Bought this one in 2014. I have another like it but with a different paintjob in a size
medium as a spare pillion lid.
All the pics are in the same colours and finishes as my actual lids. Hope this wasn't boring but I was interested to see.
I should add that each lid except the Biltwell heralded the arrival of a new bike with a finish reminiscent of the bike.
The HJC is my Tech black (Satin finish) MT10 lid.
The Shark Spartan Carbon is the Spacker lid.
And the Shark Speed R was bought in advance of my ER6f. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha
