Re: Brecon Beacons ROW Questionnaire.

The above scenario regarding taking the number plates of parked up vehicles in a cafe bothers me immensely. The fact that you have a dirty bike is no justification for a council employee to ask plod for a vehicle check, especially on mass. As ex plod, I would say that the PNC/DVLA database has been ...

Re: Catalunya, Spain, 1st October

I just read there was 90 percent vote in favour with only a 42.3 percent turnout. I would've thought that the way it was being constantly publicised on the run up that there would have been more of a turn out.? I wouldn't know what one was to do with such a poor level of turn out when it comes to t...

Re: Pictures are back (hurrah)

Dunno what browser you are using but Firefox recently updated and they may have included a workaround that they previously posted as an add on.

Just my guess.

Don't hold your breath though as Photobucket may be working to reverse this as we speak.
They did it once so I am sure they can do it again.

Re: poll.....We want a like page

I am not overly fussed about a 'Like' button but it does allow one to favour a post without making the thread overly long. However, the length of the opening page is annoying. It stops a simple scroll down to glance over the topics (as per the previous system). I know Zookman thinks we are all too l...

................ Some corrosion on the towers, for some reason Yamaha have a steel section in the towers which is corroding.

Re: CUSTOM CLEARING A BIKE IN USA AND DOCUMENTS

You appear to all the stuff you need but US customs are like immigration. They are the law and their decision is pretty final. You may gety a good or a bad one. What may help is a plan of your trip so the officer is convinced that the bike will be exported from the country. If you have any documenta...
