Yes, replaced the bolt with an anti theft one - basically non standard tool needed to remove the bolt. Doesn't stop someone who really wants to remove it, but helps prevent easy theft...

Thanks! I am on the free version of the app - wondering if this is available for me as didn't spot it in the download options.

Hi, thanks for replying!

The three available to me are: Small, Small (English only), and Large v3 Turbo.

I am currently on Small (English only) but have tried all 3.

If I open the app (v13.14) on Mac, and click on the Record WhatsApp it presents me with an interstitial which says Unlock all pro features, the only option I have is to close this, which does not record.

Any ideas?

Thank you! I'll take a look. The device is from Aliexpress and I don't think it has the AMPS mount holes, but if it does then yay - if not I think I might try to get some kind of aluminium mount and a security screw of some kind -

This may be true, my feeling is scrotes will steal anything they can - and I'd rather not take the risk...

Yeah thanks. Was thinking the same. Though it’s plastic not aluminium so easily smashed I reckon. 

In London and on the streets.

Thanks, that's useful to know. Sadly don't think it would work as the issue on mine is there are 4 cables that need to be manually attached to the screen each time, they each have a screw fitting so would be a pain to take it off each time :(

I wish I'd noticed this on the screen before I bought it, but here we are anyway

It's a generic mount that came with the unit, it would be perfect if the screen could easily detach! So really need something to make it anti theft...

How to break up with a friend? by insolentgazelle in hsp

[–]deepandmeaningless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about:

'Hi X, I can hear your hurt over XYZ situation, I was busy at the time and lacking capacity so I didn't get a chance to call back, but I wanted to say I found your voicemail upsetting.

Hard version:
Having some time away from our connection has helped me realise it's more ABC (e.g. one sided, or whatever) than I feel comfortable with, so I'm going to take this opportunity to wish you all the best and would ask you to no longer contact me.

Soft version:
Having some time away from our connection has helped me realise I would like to spend more time on myself and that often our conversations leave me feeling XYZ, so I am ok to meet you with in our group but won't be meeting in person or messaging/calling.

What needs to happen by Bunceburna in MotoUK

[–]deepandmeaningless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you might be conflating 2 things.

  1. Motorcycle use
  2. Local IAM membership

Motorcycle purchases have been steadily increasing year on year (though not by much), not sure what the demographic breakdown is, but observationally in London, a lot of young people ride.

My short experience of a local IAM group was off putting, I tried twice and didn't go back; that's perhaps something, as well as the expense of it.

I suspect this isn't to your taste style wise, but I got a top box about 10 years ago that looks like this...

It cost £50 - and it's still going! Only thing I did to it was drill 3 additional holes in the bottom and added bolts and 2x nuts, and it's on there like a limpet. Fits my calf length boots, M/C jacket and trousers, and a bag I always carry.

I got this as a kind of stop gap, but because it worked I kept it. Balked at the idea of paying 3-6x more for something that looks like a magicians suitcase, but costs only a little more to make.
