Hey Arthur, spot on about the black dog, havent met many commuters who understand that properly! Guess the two wheels really *are* the only solution sometimes. Good luck leaning into this curve – hope the exit is on a scenic road with a decent café at the end. Cheers to that!

Can’t adjust the volume on the T-com VB headset when receiving navigation from my Garmin Zumo 396. It’s way too quiet. Master volume already on highest on satnav. Any clues?

In reply to Mark Feetham. Did you lock it because this is the only case like this I've come across.

Comment on Motovlog: Why Scotland? by Jean-Sebastien Mackay

I went to Scotland back in 2009 for the Family Gathering event but didn’t get the chance to explore on two wheels… If I ever go back, it’s 100% sure I will ride this time… It’s one of the most beautiful country in the world and I’ve got amazing pictures from there.

Comment on Fazer Clutch Service by Cian

Hi Arthur,

Thank you so much for posting this troubleshooting! I am experiencing the exact same issue. I threw out my old springs assuming the “amazing” 15% stronger ones would work perfectly. My Fazer will creep forward and even cut out at stoplights. I noticed when I reduced the torque of the spring bolts the problem reduced. I also removed the clutch basked and lightly filed away any grooving which may have been causing the drag issue. Anyway, I’ve ordered OEM springs. Fingers crossed the problem will be resolved.

Thanks again!

Comment on Cherry Red Spada Pilgrim Grande Boots Review by Rob

Rob — Fri, 17 Jan 2025 00:14:02 +0000

I got a pair of these Spada boots for similar reasons, mostly for casual rides & summer use – I still prefer full height boots for serious miles. The cherry red ones are not actually distressed (a bit like pre washed jeans) leather, that’s only the brown & black ones. The c’ red ones are a full grain leather that should in theory be harder wearing than the other ones. That said, mostly I find soles wear out long before the uppers do & unfortunately, many soles are not easily repairable these days.
What boot cleaner / polish are you using? Our local cobbler who repaired a few of my boots & other bike gear once said not to use dubbin, since it can dry out the leather & cause cracking. I’ve used a cream / oil / wax called Bone Dry on my leathers before & liked it. When I get some more I’ll try it on the Spadas to see how it works on them. Mine are recent & the leather is pretty stiff – the oil should soften them a bit, or at least I’m hoping it will!

No condensation building up under cover after cold nights or big temperature differences?

In reply to Dawood Ahmad. I don't have first hand experience, but I would expect so.
