Re: What are you doing today ??

... full CE approved motorcycle gear bar the helmet. that's madness in my opinion. adults can take the risk of the skin being burnt off from the road as they are idiots but a child. Totally wrong in my opinion

Re: The new improved fitness thread

Signed up for Basingstoke half in a couple of months, so time to step the training up again.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

... the bike as much as the front would. Also slow speed manoeuvring, filtering etc. That's how it should be used mate, and when I had my bike on the road I did use it the same. But I only ride on the track atm (and not very well (facepalm) ) and struggle to get to it when hanging off so it only gets ...

Re: My next rocket ship

Have you got a route planned? Probably best to head out Knutsford way if only for 2 hours. The a535 from Chelford to Holmes Chapel which goes past Jodrell Bank is probably the best road I cam think off in that area.

Re: West Midlands Police article on personal cameras

I think what the police are referring to are clips like Duke posted with the road rage driver. If the victim (the motorcyclist with the GoPro) posted that clip prior to the resolution of the case, a defense attorney is going to attempt to show the comments as ...

Re: Motorcycle Insurance

... I moved I phoned both car insurance companies to let then know of the change of address and that the cars wild be parked on a drive and not the road. One company reduced the premium by about 30 quid, the other increased the premium. I reckon they've got a random wheel they spin for each quote..

Re: Zero tolerance on speeding

The use it close to junctions and crossings as it offers the best grip. They colour it as a warning for road users. But it's too expensive to use everywhere.

Re: Zero tolerance on speeding

I reckon 80% of the country roads we were on today were dropped down to 50mph. No reason for it. Drop 10 or 20mph off the speed limit and paint double whites for the sake of it. A copper told me a couple of years ago that it's got very ...
