    Hiya mate, mThanks for the video and a lok round Youles, They seem good folk, if I lived up your way I would deffo go there, I have had Schubert helmets for quite a few years with Pin Locks inserted and I have Never had a helmet visor steam up, dunno if Im just lucky or its the norm, try a good quality pin lock mate. Take care and ride safe.

      Cheers Paul, maybe it's the helmets I've bought with the pinlock I think in bad weather they all fog up, but it's the 2nd layer that one leaves the top of the pinlock I allways end up looking at it👍👍👍 Have a great New Year

    The best customer service I have ever had has been from the now liquidated 'Completely Motorcycles', or more to the point one of their salesmen (Kev Jones).

    The best dealer for me has been the Harley dealer, I was hurt badly by a Kawasaki dealer and a royal Enfield only dealer who had the nerve to tell me what colour bike I was aloud to have , needless to say I did not by a bike from him and then he turned nasty on me , all that when I hadn’t rode a motorcycle for over 40 years. Other dealers when I made inquiries about bikes didn’t even respond to me . Hiscox are fantastic and so are Motoledgins.

    All I wanted this year was a new pair of gauntlet leather gloves with 6 to 8 inch gauntlet with a drawstring closure made for winter. I still have a pair from 22 years ago and they are starting to decline of age. They also use winter glove liner that doesn't breath and makes my hands sweat.
    As for fogging up,your helmet shield doesn't have the pins for pinlock? Also the divers I thought use to say spit in the goggles... I would look into what divers use there head gear shield. That's also why I wear a one piece hunters suit. I was thinking if guys go out and sit for hours on end in the cold, what do they wear. Got one and love it. The zipper need some deflection from the wind with another jacket, but it's been perfect for about 15 years.😊

      @birchwoodbiker I've bought 3 Triumphs over the years from dealerships, 2 brand new and one used. Because I've always saved up and not had any finance they just couldn't be bothered. The last one I bought was a Bonneville 120 Speedmaster paying about 15k. First of all they wanted me to collect it before all the extras had arrived and been fitted like the crash bars etc and then book it back in again when they arrived. It's a 150 mile round trip so I said I'll hang on thanks! Then on the big day of collection, they were pleasant enough but I was just handed the key and the guy just pointed to the bike outside and said "there it is" 😀. I sold it a couple of years after and I love Triumph bikes but I've not got one any more. I'm half looking for one but can't decide on what model and will try and find it at another brand's dealership!
