I’ve got a SpeedTwin 1200 and it’s the only bike I’ve ever bought without a test ride first. I’d watched lots of reviews and ridden similar bikes so knew what to expect- right down to the crap rear...
I do wonder if this is a sales tactic to push you towards the Certified Pre Owned route? I enquired in Goldsmiths in Newcastle and was told there is still at least a five year wait for a ND sub- so...
I knew something else was missing! So now I don’t like the pheon and the fact it doesn’t have minute markers.

Pleasing on the eye, but the pheon on the dial spoils it for me.

The activity that I do which is most likely to damage a watch is mountain biking. So reluctantly I would have to say my one watch would be my G Shock. I rarely need to wear a suit so it technically...
You must have better eyes than me, I can’t see anything.
I bought a watch from Watches of Whitby last month. It was a great experience and I feel pretty lucky having them 40 minutes up the road from...
Walking past the window of Goldsmiths in Eldon Square in 2017 and seeing a Sub in the window. I was technically working at the time so couldn’t go inside to enquire about it. That afternoon I decided...
Lovely looking bike although I’ve got one in red so I am biased. Similar to you, I had adventure bikes for a few years but after I’d seen the Speed Twin I knew I had to try one. I still go on 2-3 day...
Very tempted by one of the Temple vented jackets.

The hour markers are inlaid on the black dial.

I went down a whole size in the Mocs as they are quite long. After wearing them for a year I’ve had to admit they are a bit on the narrow side so thin socks only. I wish I’d tried on the 7.5 in the...
I haven’t been down that way for a while. It’s worth a ride out for the place names alone!

I thought the same. I presume he means the other way round.
I got out on the Triumph yesterday for a few hours. Dry roads and warm temperatures. It’ll probably be snowing again next week so I made...
Bit of a mess really.

This. Clever marketing. And it’s worked- we’ve remembered the advert.

I’ve mentioned it here before but I was put off Tudor when I bought a Pelagos 42 a few years ago. As I walked out the shop wearing my new watch I noticed there was a metal filing under the crystal. I...
I work 40 miles away from where I live. It’s virtually motorway all the way. The rain and cold doesn’t bother me but the wind recently has made me reach for the car keys a couple of times. It’s been...
I first started riding the tracks and trails on a cyclocross bike before gravel bikes came along. I now use my gravel bike more than my mountain bike. It’s a great way of riding from my front door...
Interesting viewing, learned some things I hadn’t considered. My previous bike was an Africa Twin and my current bike is a Speed Twin. I’ve got to admit I do like the feel of the torque and power...
That’s a fair point. But I still think that it’s impossible to ever know or even guess how a burglar may react. Are they a professional thief committing a well planned crime? Or an opportunist smack...
If it concerns you that much OP, I would suggest getting better security, better insurance, or sell your watches.
There is absolutely no way of knowing if leaving fakes lying about will help or not,...
Sorry, wrong thread!

This is exactly why I only ride with a few people who I know and trust. I’ve made the mistake of joining group rides in the past, where idiots risk lives to keep up with the group or show off, and...
No, it actually came with the 120 click bezel. I took it in to the shop when I had the dial changed and they said it was what they had in stock at the time. The bezel itself has faded quite a bit...
I have one, they were only available on the website for a short time. I actually bought mine secondhand from SC. Or I should say my wife bought it for me for our wedding anniversary. It has been my...
