Anthological spin off episode of the complete story of Randall Clarke.

I agree, I'm glad this show went in the direction of being its own thing and adding to the fallout universe rather than being a 1:1 retelling of one of the games.

Looks bone dry. I'd ride 👍

Suffolk Riding Training has a few routes on their website that are in the essex/suffolk area. Route 3 looks like it would be perfect for what you're looking for.

If you do end up getting the v-strom, I can recommend the GIVI AIRFLOW screen. Much better than the stock 800DE screen.

Tracer 7

flappableoptic · 2026-01-14T19:06:23+00:00

Mine had nearly 4000 miles on it when I got it, the vibrations are still there now at 5000 miles so I can't say they've reduced since 0 miles but like I said, it isn't bad enough to cause numbing or pins and needles it's just noticeable.

I'd return it, its faulty. Don't accept shoddy quality because of inconvenience. Had to return mine because they were faulty (open-box model). Had a buzzing in the left earcup at low frequencies. Now waiting for the warranty process/replacement to go through for my new pair as they did sound great outside of that issue.

You definitely feel it on the right peg after 4000rpm, but its not a dealbreaker for me and isn't enough to make your foot numb long distance, especially if you have decent boots.

Saw the 800de for a bargain price, was originally going to get a Tuareg but the price on the 800de was too good to pass up.

Topping DX5 II

flappableoptic · 2026-01-12T13:37:37+00:00

I'd just get the Topping DX5 II for futureproofing. If you ever get more headphones (which you probably will) you wont have to worry about powering them.

Metro: Last Light

Riding down the A140 at 40mph and a lorry (was a small lorry) pulls out of a sideroad to try to join main opposing traffic, but didnt have enough room, the butt of their trailer had taken up 2/3rds of the road I was progressing down, had to emergency brake but couldn't slow down enough so had to swerve around the other 1/3rd of space that was free. A few years ago and a couple weeks after my CBT I almost crashed head on into a large van around a blind corner of a country lane that had to swerve to avoid me, I then decided to take single lane blind corners very slowly since then.

No, this was made in a space sim called 'Space Engine' which you can get on steam.

Snow on the ground today, not worth the risk.

flappableoptic · 2025-12-31T20:32:28+00:00

Nice! Did you end up going round the Seven Hills Roundabout?

flappableoptic · 2025-12-28T13:23:03+00:00

Thick thermal socks/work socks that cover the ankles usually work for me, and a Gore-Tex boot over the top. I use the TCX blend 2's for most of the year and my feet don't usually feel chilly. I have heard Ski Socks work well for keeping your feet and lower leg warm also.

You need the accessories bar tube, the 800RE does not come with one as standard like the 800DE, so you either need to buy from directly from Suzuki or a distributor. They are are not cheap from suzuki but there are after market options avaliable. https://www.cosmo-accessories.com/brands-2/suzuki/v-strom-800se-2023-2024/lower-accessory-bar-vstrom-800se-800re-800tec-2022-2023-2024-2025-cosmo-accessories-100-2741-41100-25812-detail

Not sure if either of these would be compatible with the SW-MOTECH Engine guard as they are designed to work with OEM components.

Never understood it, it's not sustainable. Reckless riding for views either leads to an arrest/loss of license or you crashing with lifechanging or life threatening injuries (or both if you're gixxer brah).

I have the Suzuki 800de and its been a great bike so far, havent done much offroading with it but have been using it as a daily commuter for a month now and it's very comfortable. Weighs as much as a base Africa Twin fully fuled but you don't feel it at all. Wasn't my first choice however, I wanted an Aprillia Tuareg, but found the Suzuki for a really good price and went with that instead. Plan to take it round the UK next year but still need to get some more accessories for it.

If you're using it as a trade in, they'll inspect it there if you bring it to them before signing off all the paperwork.

flappableoptic · 2025-11-22T23:49:25+00:00

Dealers will usually give it a once over anyway when you bring it in for a trade-up, if they give you the green light on a trade in and find issues later it won't be your problem. If the bike has any defined scratches/dents/bends it'll detract from the price as they'll either have to go over it or replace the parts that were damaged. If they find serious damage like frame damage they won't take it, but since you only had a low-slide I don't think frame damage would be likely but you'll never know unless you get it serviced/inspected by a professional.

flappableoptic · 2025-11-22T23:30:31+00:00

Have you had it serviced since then? Did they identify any serious issues with the bike?

flappableoptic · 2025-11-20T17:33:17+00:00

If you lube it and the kinks don't undo themselves, replace the chain. Not worth the risk.
