Re: Mobile speed units
Not meaning to be picky, backof but can you point me in the direction of the legislation which says that speedos are allowed to be 10% innacurate? It probably isn't what you meant but this comes from Speed-trap.co.uk - "Vehicle construction and use regulations require a vehicle speedometer acc...

Re: Capote deux
In the meantime, if it's the law I will follow it , if it's not I will follow my own common sense thank you! Well, can't fault you with that. Now, perhaps you could tell me exactly what French law requires me to take with me - either on me or on the bike, when I visit that country. After all, in or...

Re: Mobile speed units
You may get away with it. MPH plus 10% plus 3 50 MPH + 5 + 3 = 58 for ticketing on cameras. Be interested to know where that info comes from. I'd heard that as well and understood it to be because - +10% because speedometers are allowed to be 10% inaccurate in the legislation and +3mph leeway becau...

Re: Its a done deal.
Great report and your enthusiasm comes through in your writing. By the time I got half way in I was starting to wonder whether I should get one. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I think he should be cooking your tea tbh! Seconded. Although on reflection it depends what his cooking is like, it might be adding insult to injury :laugh: Worse thing (so far and apart from seeing myself :laugh: ) was the radiator grill of a large truck when I pulled back in after overtaking it a...

Re: O dear It has started
It's not only the bikers - I've just got back from a six mile walk, part of which went through our local golf club (you can probably see where this is going!). There must have been 20-30 people playing and it looked like a Bertie Wooster convention with the golf apparel being worn. Apologies to any ...

Re: Pressure Wash
Same here, I just use it on the fan setting for removing big chunks and then it's down to a brush and a bucket. I never hold it over the spindles or the swinging arm pivot region. Then I use the fan setting to sweep the mud away into next door's drain :whistle: :whistle:

Re: Capote deux
OK, now we know where you stand. Let's chuck this open to debate - are we fueling future restrictions with this sort of discussion or should it not be mentioned for fear of giving the politicians ideas?

Re: things to do rather than watch eastenders
Nice project Al. I did something similar on my DIY panniers to take fuel cans but not having any sheet ally I used 6" nails! (bent and welded on to form a platform)
