Re: Afternoon Tea - Stow - Saturday 31st May

... it once you're earning megabucks @Kingfixer - another time matey. @D6nutz - come out of Cheddar Gorge and head for Cirencester. It's a straight road to Stow from there. @Aceman - look for a battered grey haired bloke on a battered black zx6r

Re: Circuit Val De Vienne

It was the fast group out when I took the pics, but the novices and inters seemed to have a decent mix of both. I saw plenty of road gixers and blades. The french love triumphs too seemingly and there were plenty of those. I certainly felt I wouldn't be out of place taking the mirrors ...

Re: Me new levvers...

Re: Car Tyres

... brakes would mean the wheels would lock up and you would end up sliding towards a certain death. I'm surprised I managed to keep the car on the road long enough to wear them out. It did improve my snow and ice driving though. A review of a similar experience: NE PAS ACHETER CE PNEU. CEST DU ...

Re: Bank Holiday Monday Rideout - Buxton

Always ride within your comfort zone on the road, Itchy. You were far from slow and regardless of who you are ( with the exception of Marquez) there will always be someone quicker than you. I must confess that personally, and i have no idea why, ...

Re: Bank Holiday Monday Rideout - Buxton

... As you've picked up, you don't have to worry about the bloke behind. Moving on the bike makes a load of difference (I don't do it enough on the road). Don't forget I commute most days so what looks like a tight squeeze from behind is probably an aircraft hanger sized pass for me. I tend to bully ...

Re: For the love of car boot sales

I often go to the one down the road. It's amazing the cr@p that some people expect to be able to sell. There was a couple there the other morning and they had a stall just selling video tapes. Who on earth would want to buy 1980's video ...

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

Well I charged mine the old fashioned way today and took it out for a good spanking.

I still can't get over how stable the M7's are on really crap road surfaces.

I'd like to go to watch the racing next year if only for a couple of days but would consider flying in. Having seen the vids of the roads over race weeks, i personally can't see much point in taking the bike. It used to be, even to be able to have a one way road across the mountain. The ...

Re: Road Tax Rip Off

I'm surprised our lot haven't tried that stunt, say they'll remove RFL and up the tax on pump fuels correspondingly in their Manifesto and get lots of votes from the 20 mile a weekers, then a year later say it hasn't worked and bring back RFL on top of the increased tax on the fuel. It's the sort of...

Its not expensive your right and I'm not hung up about it or anything. I just thought it was unfair and not proportional with what car users pay that was all.

Work the "showroom tax" over a few years and you can see how your current road fund license is low.

You don't get something for nothing in this country..
Car in year 1 was zero rate so free.
