Re: Now this is the perfect barbeque

I have a grilliput stainless bbq that is that style and it wors well, I use a veg steamer that sits on top of a saucepan as a hearth. The only problem with the homemade one is it the copper gets hot enough it can give off fumes which are not good for you.

Re: Peak or sun visor?

Im another open face helmet user and had the same problems. I am now using a Nolan N40 full. It has a removable chin guard and a peak and a sun visor. It was a replacement for a Caburg open face and its significantly quieter than the Caburg.
Also the Nolan is legal as an open face and full face

Re: Dropped a Valve

Re: How do you pay?
