Thought everyone might be interested to know that following the UK Government's freedom of information act you can now get access to ALL speed camera offences registered in the last 12 months. Did you know that every time your car goes past a speed camera, even 1mph over the set limit, it is registered and put on a database? You only get a ticket if you are way over the limit or, (this is the bit that I didn't know) if you receive over 10 near misses, you will be classed as a serial offender and get a ticket the next time you go just over the limit. This is why you hear of people being done for 34mph in a 30mph limit area, whilst others doing 39 do not. You …

In a recent story in our paper a local biker was given a 2 year ban and a £400 fine after being clocked at 142mph on a dual carriageway in Kent. He accepted that he had broken the law and deserved to be punished, but felt that the ban was excessive citing in his defence: Amir Khan the boxer had been stopped by Lancashire police after a chase which reached speeds of 155mph, he was given a £1000 fine and a 42 day ban, this was his second driving offence, the first in which he injured a pedestrian. The biker felt that this was inconsistent...........................................what do you all think?

What dooes Speedy Gonzalez use to lay his carpets? Underlay Underlay!!!! I think we should start that cracker joke thread again like last year!!...............

hi there peeps. Ive recently picked up a Mitsubishi FTO with the 1.8 straight-4 engine in the hope that it will be cheaper to run/insure than my 2.0 V6 FTO. only problem is i bought it as spares or repair, the drivers side window was smashed and the battery leads cut before the scumbags made off with the battery including the clamps and leads. ive replaced the window and i now need to splice a new length of cable to extend the existing cables to reach the battery box. The cables i need to splice are 7mm diameter and 10mm diameter, soldering is unlikely to work as i dont have a soldering iron meaty enough to tackle the job, so i am looking to use an inline crimp/s…

Still there when I came out 5 hours later

After a long and hard winter with a lot of snow in February and March coupled with -20 C temperatures it looks like spring is finally making it's way north. Canada Geese arrived on March 19...don't know where they'll land as the fields are still under snow and all the lakes are frozen.... and yesterday I saw a bike on the highway....bet he was cold. Sure signs of spring in the Great White North! Today was a nice warm 6 C (is that warm or what???) and sunny so I went to the shop and dragged the bike out, fired it up and took a couple of runs down the driveway. Sometime around the second week of April I'll put some insurance on it and take it for a real ride unl…

Hi all Got a problem with my spyball alarm, need help Spyball Alarm 6527, with 2 key fob Went to my bike the other and the alarm/immobiliser wouldn't switch off with the key fob i was using, so i grabbed the other key fob and it worked first time. So when i was out i got new batteries for the other fob, installed the battery in the remote, ran through the key re-align info (hold big button down for 1sec then release then big button down again for a further 15secs and it should re-align), but guess what..... It never. So my Question is has anybody came accross this fault before? and/or does anybody have a fix for the problem? thanx.

Fed up now. Rings for the. 25piston are on back order. Should be this week cos they have come from japan. Begining to wish i had gone for a good pattern piston instead. I know it sounds daft but i miss the bike. Wet cold and crappy headlight included. I must be mad.

Whilst I was watching tele Sunday night a couple of young lads thought my bike needed a new owner and stole it from outside my flat in Salford. They bolt cropped the chain running through the wall anchor, bust the steering lock and were seen pushing it away. Guess they couldnt get it started due to the immobiliser. Its a black and silver 07 plate 660 XTX fitted with renthal sprockets, heated grips, well scuffed handguards and Roadsmarts. Pls keep an eye out for any parts being offered as i'd love to know, cheers.

When I pulled the curtains this morning and looked out, I thought there must have been a terrible storm last night. Fences were laying flat, windows were smashed in, rubbish was strewn all over the place, and the power was out. Then I remembered. I live on a council estate.

wondering if anyone has discovered anywhere to get a true-dual aftermarket exhaust for strato / RL? thanks.

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, 'How heavy is this glass of water?' Answers called out ranged from 8oz. To 20oz. _The lecturer replied, 'The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it.' _ _'If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. _ _If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.'_ _'In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.'_ _He continued, 'And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner …

if you were stuck in a lift & you could be stuck with any woman/man in the world, who would it be (The orginal question was woman but as we have female members i am intruiged to see their choice of man to) and a lift engineer would be no good to ya stuck on the inside of a lift

I can't find any panniers small enough not to foul the indicators or to have me sitting on them. I don't want to get a rack as It isn't really cost effective, I don't like big tankbags unless I am away for a long while (I have a Bagster cover fitted) and tail packs/bags make it really difficult to hop on the bike as the rear seat is stepped up a lot. I have been looking for options for weeks and it is getting to me . Should I get a National Express coach there? The last bit was a joke by the way. Picture of the dilemma.

Well folks, I've packed my kit and tomorrow morning, me, t'wife and kids are all off to Spain for a few weeks, so be good and I'll bring you all a stick of rock home.

So, spent the evening in Guildford hospital getting checked out after a hit-and-run on a roundabout knocked me off the bike. Thankfully it was at very low speed (<10mph) but my left shoulder/collarbone is injured - nothing broken, but damage to cartilage and ligament. The massive cunt in the black merc who caused this will be sad to hear that several witnesses saw what happened and got his/her license plate number. The police are keen to prosecute, as am I, and I believe a lawsuit on top of that may be in order.I'd like to offer huge thanks to the people who stopped and took care of me while i was prostrate on the ground, the ambulance crew who turned up in two minutes…
