Today I took a ride over to the Adventure Bike Shop in Acton – not the Acton in West London where I used to work as a Health Visitor but in Suffolk, about 42 miles away from where I live. I had been meaning to replace my rather smelly and dinged Arai Tour X3. The Nexx XD1 is about £100 cheaper than a new Arai and has some up to date features – some plates to attach camera mounts (to save me glueing them on to the outside of the lid) and a clever sun visor. It feels much lighter than my Arai and coupled with buying a size large (size M wouldn’t even fit over my head) it feels less reassuring when on. I need to move my Bluetooth kit over to it and I will try it on the bike.

I zoomed over there to catch it before it closed (see Shot from Adze). Being offered a cup of tea the moment you step inside the shop always puts me in the mood to not walk out without supporting them. 
Would have thought you would have gone on the twisty windy lanes cross country 🙁
Yes that was the plan but I got delayed leaving Cambridge so didn’t want miss the shop. I agree there are much nicer ways to get to Suffolk. But some high speed zooming was also quite fun
