A push button timer switch for the heated towel rail.

Why didn't I fit one years ago..?

The real bonus is the "bookmark" tucked into it....
I have no idea what exact era this form might have been from, (yet), but it's quite possible it's exactly the sort of form my Dad might have filled in at some stage during his RAF time.

Jon’s got a new mota’


The garage had some really tasty cars in including a G series AMG Mercedes

All BMW drivers are wankers!

Thankfully, the new car doesn’t have lane control so i can turn and change lane without use of the redundant stalk on the left hand side of the steering wheel.

Really?

I thought whatever Euro standard a 22 car had to meet meant enforced lane keeping that could be turned off but needed doing every restart.

My 22 BMW tries to rip the wheel from my hands whenever I change lanes without indicating.

I thought so too as ex’s 1 series, first registered in March 22 was practically undriveable when it first arrived due to overly harsh adherence to white lines but I can’t find any settings for it in idrive / not experienced the steering wheel vibration / correction, that or I am a really good driver / actually use indicators as needed… :shrug:

I think I can turn mine off totally, but then there's a big symbol on the dash, that obscures other stuff, just to tell me that something is turned off

Luckily, three taps over two buttons and its off for each drive - but its annoying when I forget and the sterring wheel "jumps" out of my hands

Yeah, it was a bargain alright and perfect for my Africa Twin colours, although I'd still have bought it if my bike was another colour. Really pleased with it as its a perfect fit for my bonce! Normally I find Adventure lids too draughty for colder weather but its not as bad as my Bell or my old TourX. I doubt i'll go all through winter with it though...

Faster than slow composite?

I bought a new leather belt. The one* I have is at least 42 years old as I had it when I moved from London to Cambridge in '83. New one cost me $60, a bit more than the old one. Just plain/smooth/black, 1.5in wide, 3/16th thick.

*Yes, just the one

The 4th UK edition is the one to have.

Score!!

A new pair of gloves, exactly the same as the 7 years old ones I'm using now.
Mostly because Alpinestars gloves seem to have really really long fingers and these Icon's fit like a ......, well you get the idea

A pair of AirPods.

Well they’re from my wife for my Christmas but I’ve got them now. Clever bits of kit and easier to use than the corded set I use.

That would drive me spare…. In ours, one tap on the button nearest to the steering wheel and it’s off. Easily done, and done every time.
Another of those things that nobody wants and everybody gets.

I does bug me, but it's better than turning on the heated windscreen , when you have a right arm that barely reaches the control screen cos they couldn't be assed to put in an actual button

I can turn it off permanently, but then there's a symbol on the dash all the time that covers (either the outside temperature or the current mileage) - so that's not gonna happen
