I am looking to buy a leather motorcycle jacket and would like to know if anyone can recommend a make that is good for price and quality. I ride a Triumph Bonneville T100 in the Summer months and would like something that blends in with that type of bike. I know that Triumph market motorcycle clothing but all the jackets have ' Triumph ' emblazoned all over them and I'm not keen on this.

Is it possible to upload digital photo images back to my camera's SD memory card or do I need a card reader? I want to get prints of my edited pictures but not from an online source.

From what I have read it promises much, does it deliver?

I have searched on the Web for a personal DAB radio with rechargeable batteries and their are a couple of models out there but the reviews for them don't give the full SP. Can anyone recommend a make and model please. I do a lot of hiking so the radio must be durable. Ta.

Since installing Privacy Guardian, the Windows installer keeps appearing. I have uninstalled the software but the installer keeps regularly reappearing. Can anyone help?

In a crowded public place i.e. a bar or a shopping mall, are there any tell tale signs that indicate that an individual may be violent or unstable, apart from the blindingly obvious one of shouting, intoxication or overt agression. This is a serious question, please respond accordingly.

It's me again, with another motorcycle question. Can anyone recommend a really good make of leather motorcycle jacket that would suit a modern Bonneville? I've seen all sorts of gear on the net at all sorts of prices, but it's difficult to determine what's good and what aint.

Has anyone any experience of the Bonneville silencers in the Triumph accessory catalogue? From what I can gather they have a more genuine ' old Triumph Sound' than the stock ones which I think are way too quiet; you can't hear what the motor is doing. I gather some carb rejetting is required too, if you fit these. If these silencers are not deemed suitable for road use are there any alternatives? Many thanks.

I most strongly disaprove of everything.

I have just been diagnosed with IBS and my doctor has given me some literature to read. I have declined any prescription medication because IBS is a pretty vague description for something that seems to have a very wide range of causes. I fail to see how this can be effectively prescribed for, and I also have an aversion to prescribed drugs. Can anyone give me advice on how to manage this condition? What works best for you?

Can anyone give me information on the value or otherwise of magnets in treating various ailments such as arthritis, depression and chronic pain? There any number of web sites that sell and promote such devices, but it is very hard to find any hard unbiased scientific evidence to support their claims. What do you think?

Does anyone know where I can buy a cat litter tray made of stainless steel. I find the plastic ones flimsey and the bottom of the tray gets ripped up by the cat's claws.

It's a great bike that I really enjoy owning and riding, but I find that the midrange is rather flat and I get 'spit back through the carbs when I do a racing change. Can anyone give tuning tips to give real 'urge' and an all round more crisp feel?

According to the computer press, Microsoft will be releasing service pack 1 for Vista soon, and a major upgrade is scheduled for 2008. It seems that consumer caution has been well placed regarding Vista!

Personally I am a bit fed up with all things Microsoft and when my XP instalation gives up the ghost and is no longer supported ( the clock is running) I think I will try something different- either Mac or Linux.

Can anyone recommed a website that explains what Linux is all about, or a book maybe? I mainly use my PC for browsing the net, emails, and will be getting into digital photography in a big way, with all that this entails. Any help would be much appreciated.

Microsoft has downloaded K B 931764 'Updated Junk email filter', but it fails to install. As it goes I am not particullary bothered about this as I am well protected by other means. The problem is I can't get rid of the download or the annoying yellow shield icon on my task bar. Can any help? Please don't refer me to the Microsoft site; navigating that is like trying to juggle soot.

Does the future have a future?

What is the smallest screen I can fit that will still be effective in diverting some of the noise and windblast. Also the stock silencers are very quite when riding, such that I get very little feedback from the motor. Your advice appreciated.

The gearing on my Bonneville T100 seems very low and I keep looking for a 6th gear. The engine sprocket is 18t, would a larger sprocket be a good idea, if so what size?Has anyone else noticed this problem?

Cyrus have recently brought out a new DAB tuner to complement their Hi Fi range. Has anybody got one, does it perform well? How much and is it worth it?

Can men use this type of product instead of using a razor to shave the face?
