Re: High-Performance Award for bike clobber

[mode=devilsadvocate] All gear now advertised/sold has to be marked as A, AA or AAA (though that is poorly enforced) There's no legal requirement to wear protective clothing.

Re: Insta360 OneX in Renault Clio Hybrid

You can see it with more conventional views here, (link below) where being able to rotate the view in the edit is really useful. All the footage used here was shot in one pass from the one camera. ht...

Insta360 OneX in Renault Clio Hybrid

No commentary or tips, etc., just trying out my Insta360 OneX camera in my Renault Clio E-Tech Hybrid while driving in one pedal (almost) mode. An interesting perspective on the dual carriageway clip where you can see the driver and the road ahead in one shot. It struggles a bit with the difference ...

Re: IAM members assessment

The simple fact is ex-plods are becoming rarer, more so on the 2 wheeled side. Fellowship IAM membership has 3 year re-testing, just the same as ROSPA.
