any reason why i cannot take some tools on the plane if they are not sharp? anyone flown BA and carried a socket set and allen keys in their hand luggage?
Ahh well I had my torque wrench and Allen keys taken off me at Heathrow when we were flying out for a mountain bike trip.. They think you are going to play Mechano with the plane FFS.. I got them back when I returned home and had to send off for them..
@RC1 They really do, since 9/11, had my cycle tools sacrificed at Manchester airport on my to Lanzarote for an event. It's so you can't 'attack' the pilots cabin door I was told..... Put simply should they find them when they x ray you forfeit them. They used to bag them separately but not certain they do now and last time I flew with tools I put them in with my bike. Fairly sure even something as basic as a non bladed leatherman type tool gets confiscated. Annoyingly also my CO2 canisters but they're fine for a life vest in the cabin and then to deflate my cycle tyres. I did genuinely ask if the pilot did the same to the aircraft tyres once airborne but was met with a blank expression.
We are game, we met you on the services earlier in Italy. Count us in WhatsApp group would be cool to set up for attendees
well i made it in one piece so did my bike.... my advice to anyone is dont use new tech for the first time when you have no clue where you are and are doing everything for the first time that said, the beeline got me to my accomodation so alles gutte
So turns out the local pizzeria in cattolica where i am staying has a man called dario who is mates with italian moto gp folks. Small world. Pizza drink and ice cream 13 euros happy days
