As an adopted Northerner it is my ambition never to travelsouth of the Watford Gap again.
Using the Hull ferries is a very small price to pay for the privelege of living in the North.

Re: Peage procedures
Got a tag linked to my bank account. Used it in the car last year - lovely to sail through the 30kph lane with zero fannying about. Off to France next week end. Will use it on the bike. Putting it in the top pocket of my jacket. If that doesnt work, I will let the wife wave it about from the pillion...

Re: Help a Cumbrian Biker, in Brazil
Does it cover big bikes? Check. Thank you Post Office.
Does the breakdown insurance cover repatriation of the bike in case of accidents, air ambulance home if needed, and all hotel/.travel/medical expenses for pillion if needed? Check. Thank you ADAC.

Re: Are you happy with your Bike(s)?
Another one with a Varadero. Its about the only bike that is big enough for me at 6 foot 3, and low enough for my 5 foot 2 wife to climb on. Great comfort, great tourer. Good presence on the road. And can shift a bit when you want to do some miles. But bloody heavy. Dropped it up the Grossglockener ...

Re: Brexit: one year to go...
If politicians promised everyone a bag of gold and a ten inch dick there would be enough people to vote them in. That doesn't mean they could deliver. Democracy will be valid the day that politicians are made legally liable for their promises. Until that happens its a sick game where those in power ...

Re: Brexit: one year to go...
Given that the Referendum was a device to quieten Tory back benchers, you'd think that the Tories would have had a proper plan for Brexit before they called it or would have come up with a decent plan by now. As it is, they just look like a bunch of incompetent chancers trying to wing it. I am utter...

Re: Brexit: one year to go...
.. politicians and the media bang on with the overused phrase "the will of the people". How can it be the will of the people when only 37% of eligible voters cast their vote to leave? .. .. because we live in a democracy where `first past the post` system is in use. .. just one vote more,...
