What a difference from Friday ..Sunday's started dull and damp ... forecast was for it to dry and improve during the day ... Seven optimists met up at Spoons for the run. 20 miles up the road there was no sign of it improving as we headed north. Pulled over near the junction of the A81 / A811 to gauge folks views on proceeding...http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2823/8755534216_1d0d91948e_b.jpg The consensus was to head west away from the mountains to the north in the hope of finding dry roads..

Oxford Merino Cosy neck tube, %XA319.99 Tester: Richard Newland Miles/time: 1500 miles/three weeks What%X92s good? I%X92m not a big fan of neck tubes but at sub-zero temperatures they%X92re an invaluable warmth giver and draught excluder. This Merino is a new addition to Oxford%X92s massive range of neck tubes, offering great thermal properties. It%X92s breathable, has an anti-bacterial treatment to keep it fresh, and...

HJC RPHA Max flip-front helmet, %XA3359.99 Tester: Tony Hoare Miles/time: 1800 miles/one month What%X92s good? I%X92ve shied away from flip-up lids because I don%X92t like the image, but the RPHA Max soothed those concerns enough for me to use it on an 1800-mile trip to Italy. It%X92s essentially HJC%X92s RPHA10 race helmet, but with the convenience of a flip-front helmet. It%X92s beautifully...

Beta Torx screwdrivers, %XA367.44 Tester: Tim Thompson Time used: Two years What%X92s good? I use these for nipping-up bodywork and screen retaining bolts: fasteners that need a light touch, just a couple of ftlb torque. The BetaGrip handles are lovely in the hand. They have great control and feel %X96 and make me feel like a highly-regarded MotoGP mechanic. These three...

Hi all. I'm after opinions really I've just passed my direct access and am in the market for my first big bike and have settled on a street triple r 2013. However I also really really like the new hypermotard. And would like some views on which to get. I ride to work every day although its only a 14 mile round trip. I am a quite aggressive rider who likes to throw a bike around and both these beauties look awesome to me. Cheers in advance
