    petition to get cheaper fuel for people in areas that have no public transport, the guy that has started it is a friend of mine, came from the Doncaster Area now living in devon, and is a biker these are his words Government policy cut rail services in rural areas to save money. Bus services were liberalised so that companies cherry-picked the best routes and dropped the poor payers. Rural dwellers should be compensated by discounting road fuel as cars are the only transport many of us have. A smart card used to pay at the pumps would ensure that only those who qualified got the discount. This system is used in N. Italy based on post code. http://petitions.pm.gov.…

    What kind of set up do you guys use for washing / cleaning parts? I've seen a few on Ebay with the pumps - but not sure of the quaility and if I really need another piece of equipment if a plastic dish sink pan and stiff brush would suffice. Also - what type of solvents do you prefer? Thanks for the input. G

    Well I am taking part in the Randonnee Challenge in July, and this will be my biggest bike ride ever! And no it's not on a motorbike unfortunately. It's a 100 mile ride across the South Downs from Winchester to Eastbourne, with a total climb of 10,000 feet. 98 miles is off road so it's going to be a heck of a ride and it has to be completed within 12 hours. I am hoping to finish it in under 10 hours. I'm not that crazy that i am doing this for fun, i am doing the ride for the FSID which is The Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths is the UK's leading baby charity aiming to prevent unexpected deaths in infancy and promote infant health. So if anyone would lik…

    Hiya all. I made a singlespeed-autoclutch trasher into a dirttool to learn my 8YO son safely how to ride mopeds. Started with showing son there is no shame in riding slowly, its ok to highside or lowside as you please. Nephews, friends and girlfriends of both son and daughter joined us, helping to conquer the dirt. Had a few somers great fun untill the bike was utterly worn out. Somewhere a Suzuki LT50 entered the stage, it was mega great fun untill the cylinder started puking pistons. Made a goodlooking frankensteiner, Puch 2speed manual clutch 50cc engine in a DT50MX frame. That lasted only 1 summer.... Next i bought myself a YZ125, refurbished it and had some…
