Indeed. The weather girl's dress was far too long, and she didn't smile properly at the end.
Poor show, poor show all round....

Has anyone else on here got radio coms? I have just got myself some ordered and was going to bring them to test. My mate who is coming is also getting some so there would have been 4 of us using them. Just seeing if anyone else had the same idea

We are hoping to get a few long trips on the bikes later in the year so we wanted to be able to talk while riding so directions were easier and just a general chat if someone needs a pee or fuel. We shall see how it works on Saturday, if the weather picks up. Just looked on the BBC website and met office and neither are looking to good for next week :sad2 :thumbdown:

I have a Bluetooth intercom, but it is not a long range bike to bike type, only for rider to pillion communication....but I have it linked to my phone and I use this for bike to bike stuff ....with my mates number on last number, I just hold down the volume button and it phones the last number...works pretty well, but not as instant as a full intercom

We are going to be using radios with bike headsets. Could have loads of people on the same channel. I had looked at some blue tooth one but with out spending hundres of pounds I could not have the ability to speak to a pillion and someone else on a different bike without having to press several buttons. Will see how it works when I get to test them.

Sorry to be such a disappointment, I should be getting a fair amount of money back next month so whatever doesn't go towards the missus/vtr will be saved up for future rides!! :thumbup:

Also headset intercoms are more annoying than useful, after I got my license we got some for me, my brother and my dad and I'd just press the button without realising while singing to myself and they'd just be like :wtf: :lol: It's easier just to pay attention to those in front
