Think I should change my user name to Almax-a-plenty, as I have one at work, one at home as well to save lugging one around! Risks aside, I do really like the x-adv, and my Africa twin was too much of a lump around town, so I chopped it in for this one owner, 4k mile example with full dealer service history and the Akra and tail tidy were also supplied and fitted by the dealer too.
Despite having the last one nicked, I’ve bought another,

Re: Despite having the last one nicked, I’ve bought another,
They are a nice bike,i enloyed ownership of mine,hopefully the Almax security gear will make any would be thief walk on by,they are expensive,after getting my tmax nicked i invested in two Almax chains a 19 mm and the 22 mm,i am pretty sure the shitbags returned again once i had the tmax back on the road,but thought better of it once they see my upgraded security

You're lucky. The gits took a petrol-powered angle grinder to my Almax chain. That didn't do much for the bodywork on the TMax either!i am pretty sure the shitbags returned again once i had the tmax back on the road,but thought better of it once they see my upgraded security

That's a beauty Taipan! Just keep a good eye on it.
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'!

Re: Despite having the last one nicked, I’ve bought another,
When they got my old one, they bumped our 2 cars to the side of the drive. Took the locks of our gates. Knocked out the security lights. Lifted the front wheel up and wheeled the bike to the bottom of the garden and got the disc lock off with an angle grinder. Then just pushed it out of the drive and away they went. From what I can gather they would have had it running within minutes of getting around the corner.Dr Gonzo wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2024 9:33 amYou're lucky.

Re: Despite having the last one nicked, I’ve bought another,
I got onto the Hiplock kickstarter campaign for their new DX1000, which I think is just a bigger version of their existing D1000 bicycle lock. It cost me £200'ish as I was in the first pledging batch, and I'm expecting that to arrive in the spring.
I'm hoping that will help against the little shitbags wanting to help themselves to my stuff. I've got an Almax as well but it's a heavy old beast to carry around.
Always looking for ways to increase bike security. Sad that we have to go so far and spend so much to do so though?

As good as that lock maybe, if its not locked to something of equal quality then they'll use the angle grinder on that instead.

Nice bike. How do they compare to the Tmax?
How does the dct feel etc?
