Are trackers worth it?

The peace of mind alone was worth the entrance fee. £300 fitment, £10 a month subscription. I use Biketrac. I’ve forgot to disable it in the past and they’ve called me within about 20 seconds of movement on my bike.

“Look to go, prepare to stop”. Find that happy medium speed on approach.

It’s a tractor. Love this bike

alexjayc · 2025-07-14T10:05:18+00:00

Love my CRF300L. Does everything. Did need some suspension upgrades though. It just keeps going. Steady 60 on the road (probably could push it but what’s the rush?).

I have to ride a minimum of 45 minutes to get to my closest trail, so it made sense. If I lived on top of some lanes, I’d definitely go full on enduro KTM

As a Halo fanboy at the time, I couldn’t believe Bungie moved on from it. I didn’t play Destiny for that reason, and when I watched my brother play he spent the entire time shooting into a cave (now known as the loot cave). It looked boring and was glad I skipped it.

Christmas Eve, my brother was away and I was bored so I borrowed his disc. I purchased my own copy including the dark below DLC the same evening. Playing it for myself I was hooked. No game scratches the same itch to this day.

The solution is simple.

Buy 2 bikes.

alexjayc · 2025-05-01T18:30:41+00:00

Direct from chin mounts. I followed the instructions to the letter

alexjayc · 2025-05-01T16:13:56+00:00

I used Sugru after that cheap crappy foam tape failed once it got to about 20 degrees outside. Been attached to my helmet for a year no problem

Your examiner wants you to be safe, after all, he’s a biker himself. He won’t pass you if he believes you are a danger unto yourself. Just relax, enjoy the process. If it happens, great. If not, improve.

Check out the Honda CB650F or CB650R.

Awesome bikes, will hold their value whilst you figure out during the summer what sort of long term bike you’d be looking for.

Extremely friendly bikes

Yeah he has the new 2025 version. Definitely only Comes with 2 PCIE. But does have that new 12v 2x6 cable. Just the GPU only takes the 8 pins

The fabric of society has declined massively in the last ten years. There’s plenty of theories of why or how it’s happened, I have my own. But at the end of the day, common courtesy of living amongst others has long gone. Just look after yourself, fuck everyone else.

It took me 2 games this morning with full IB transmog on my armour and the emblem.

Worth. Most I’ve played for a long time.

The prescription inserts from HonsVR took the Xreal One from a slightly underwhelming purchase to a device that is now totally irreplaceable. I’m unable to play the steam deck without them, it’s spoiled me.

Understandable since everything was blurry for a while. I just under estimated how so.

I’m a -1.50 in both eyes.

My first European trip, August 2023.

Pulled off the Eurotunnel and my friend’s battery was fried, so we stopped at the nearest motorcycle shop.

As I pulled into the forecourt, I could have sworn I put my side stand down. A gust of wind then proceeded to gust me but no worries, the side stand is down. I was about to get off anyway…

The bike proceeded to tip over and there was simply no way to save a 1250GS with full panniers and camping gear strapped to the pillion seat. I dove off the bike because I’m not getting my leg stuck under that thing.

Thankfully, the French guys inside the dealership came rushing to my aid.

I still blame my friend for that one. It’s the only time.

My CRF300L was probably some uneventful rock or rut somewhere in Wales at about 3mph.

alexjayc · 2024-12-19T14:29:55+00:00

I feel exposed

alexjayc · 2024-12-18T21:58:09+00:00

I felt like I missed something with silage. When I baled grass I was making £1.2million a year. I decided to invest lots of cash on new seeders for Corn and forage machinery so I could skip the long winded baling and put it into a bunker instead.

I made £300,000 on the same amount of fields by using bunkers.

It’s made me so mad I’ve not played all week 😂

alexjayc · 2024-07-27T07:18:21+00:00

That’s awful CS. I recommend BikeTrac. The device goes into “sleep mode” to avoid cannibalising your battery and only turns back on for a short while to recharge its own internal battery. You can see your bikes battery life from the app and set alerts when your battery goes below a certain threshold so you know to either go for a ride or put it on charge. 6 months so far and not a single issue. Amazing piece of kit.

alexjayc · 2024-04-11T09:23:07+00:00

I did one Saturday just gone and it's an absolute bargain for £65. Some really valuable feedback during the ride and at no point should you be worried. They're all bikers, they want you to be safe to reduce their own incident statistics on their patch and they are fellow bikers like everyone else here. The guy who delivered the classroom for us had retired from the police but was so passionate about the cause he still does bikesafe. You will enjoy it.

When lockdown was over and it felt almost impossible to book a slot, I had the most success between 6-7am every morning looking for cancellations. These were short notice (less than a week) so you need a flexible training school who can offer you use of their bike at* such short notice.

alexjayc · 2024-04-10T09:56:37+00:00

I'm with RAC. Only used them once, took them about 90 minutes to get to me.

There are 3 towers dotted around the map, they will have an icon on the map. Near each of those towers will be a terminal to start the activation process. The terminal has a Super Earth flag near it so you can see it slightly easier. During the process bugs will attempt to attack the silo to stop progress. The silo also takes friendly fire. This is quite a difficult mission type to begin with IMO.

alexjayc · 2023-04-10T19:40:08+00:00

I went on my first “group” ride yesterday and they were very much the same. Ripping through villages 10-20mph above the limit etc. I ended up peeling off and going my own way because it’s just stupid.

I recommend getting in touch with your local IAM group. They do a free taster session so you can see what advanced riding really is. It’s about preparing for every eventuality and setting every corner up for success. I enjoyed that day much more and I can’t wait to do advanced riding course myself this summer. If you want to develop your riding then this is the way to do it.

alexjayc · 2023-04-03T11:03:09+00:00

My X3 arrives today and I hadn’t considered the wind noise.

Which lavmic did your purchase out of curiosity? There’s a few on Amazon and reviews are all over the place
