50 MPH limit to start next year !!
Yes,, speed camaras, the average speed type, a liecence to print money, now how much did we give to the banks ????? It also makes it esier for them to do the speed mapping, for automatic speed control of vehicles !! Ok add this lot,,,,,,,,, More mandatory safety systems proposed by Brussels............. The proposels refer to a "Daughter Directive" to vehicle type approval 2007/46/EC making safety systems mandatory on new cars,vans,trucks and buses,,,,,,, With out going into it in full they are,, Advanced emergency braking systems, (AEBS) if the car thinks you are going to hit something it takes over control and puts the brakes on for you. Lane departure warning systems (LDWS) if you stray from your lane it gives a warning. (well thats the start) These are to be inplemented by 29th Oct 2013 for new type approvels and 2 years later for all vehicles Electronic stability control, (ESC) to brake wheels individually and control veering. Mandatory for all new vehicles from 29 Oct 2012 I wonder how many motorists know of this or even care ! You may say "what does this mean for bikes ?" I think the answer will be "what bikes !!" motor cycles are not on any transport plan !! (except to ban them !! ) This is not scare mongering by MCN,, but taken from the Transport Engineer.

BBC Red Nose Day
Nice rant Yamigirl But good points,, I to give to the cancer reserch charity, cos that is where the money goes, I was told 3 years ago I had lung cancer, but luckely for me I was eventualy cleared, it was the worst 6 months of my life and not something I could wish on any one. Pity some of the billions of pounds being pumped into the banks and bankers pockets couldn`t have been used to help find cures for cancer and heart problems, instead it`s being used to prop up a load of fat cats who have never wanted in there lives. Funny how goverments can find money to look after there own ! Not all cancers are caused by smoking and not all heart problems are caused by being over weight, the mother inlaw had stomch cancer and she never smoked in her life ! A lot of the people I help in my job have never smoked or drank in there lives, but it`s not stopped them from having heart attacks or having strokes, nether has it stopped them from getting cancer or chest problems. I like to know where my moneys going when I give to charity, one place is not overseas and another, is to not make some jumped up over paid telly/football star look good

Front breaklight switch.
Yep, but if it`s pre 1985 then theres not much he can do about it, providing a switch is fitted to one or the other brake and it works.

I had Predator make up an exhaust for the wifes XS400seca and they did a good job, also heard that they come recomended for there Yam XJ set up, but don`t know what they do for the Cat ? Try here Quill Exhausts They list a stainless system for the T Cat at £225 + VAT. Hagon are a basic shock with Pre load and Damping adjustment, not a bad price at £275. you could also try Wilbers or Maxton
