I am going out Newhaven to Dieppe with LD in two weeks time for £44 one way.

Will update you when I get back.

I believe this was taken somewhere near the mach loop.

Apparently 2 microlights were happily buzzing around when they spotted 2 Hawks and took avoiding action!

Highly recommended, very cost effective way of improving your riding and awareness.

Back in the 1990's, when they parked their bikes side by side, they even lined up the tyre valves. Dont know if they still do it.

Glad to hear you avoided a collision, I think many wouldn't.

Hope the bike rider has a good think about what nearly happened and adjusts riding style in future.

HM Government Ministers have created this fuel shortage all by themselves. They have absolutely no idea what it is really like to be living in the uk in 2012. They live in their little insulated, cocooned world where they are picked up whenever they want, usually in a large comfortable expensive car...

I have a static caravan near Newquay so I know that area pretty well. Loads of B and Bs in Newquay, there a Travel Lodge in the middle of town overlooking the sea ( I think its £50 per nite) and a premier inn at Fraddon which is about 2-3 inland miles from the centre. Places to see on north coast :-...

Fascinating photos, very sobering!

75 kilowatts equates to around 100bhp. This has been proposed recently as a EU power limit for new motorcycle registrations. It was originally proposed in the early 1990's and then dropped.

I wonder if your man from the ministry is confusing his kilowatts with his brake horse power?

Welcome to ABR. There are quite a lot of other BMW owners on here too.
