    50mph speed limit - consultation

    It's all about revenue... The governemt have got themselves into one big hole and the motorist has to dig them out of it. Where has that advert with the little girl in gone... the one that said she died cos the driver was doing 40 but she would have lived had he been doing 30mph. Disappeared...

    I hate rotaries!

    Guys, I you hate rotaries/roundabouts and you ever get to Paris, France, go to the top of the Arc de Triomphe and watch the traffic round there for a few minutes... It's such a laugh, cos the french have a different viewpoint on some of their roundabouts, in that you give way to people...

    Computer VIDEO Help

    Hi, I am back into video after a time away and have a new HD Camcorder that uses AVCHD files that are huge. I use a dual core pentium with 2 gb of ram and whilst Pinnacle Studio is a bit slow it manages... just about. I think more memory may be the way to go rather than upgrade my...

    Clarksons take on the 'special relationship' between UK & US

    I think Jeremy is right... yet again... Joe Public can only really go on what we read/see in the media, and that is that despite our 'Special Relationship' Ms Clinton heads off to the far east for her first freebie trip! I don't blame Obama for virtually ignoring our Gordy, face it almost...

    Young GIs, Cash and Fast Motorcycles

    Interesting thread, Reminds me of some research done in Wiltshire U.K. last few years. There are a lot of Army Bases in the county, and they noticed a significant increase in injury/fatal accidents involving service personnel. It was shown that on return from Active Service, they boys were...

    UK road speed limit cut to 50mph

    It's only another money making scam but Brown and his cronies. They said the new limit would be accompanied by more 'Average Speed' cameras. They have to claw back all the money they're giving to Bankers somehow!

    Signaling

    Agreed an interesting thread... but my answer depends on the actual place/traffic conditions. I would hope when changing lanes on a motorway/freeway I am not making people make any adjustments, but certainly I am not asking for permission to change lanes. In town where you wouldn't get...

    Suggestion fr a tail rack?

    Tapped... See http://www.600riders.com/forum/bikes-parts-sale/13237-sale-shad-rack-case-not-included-55-a.html The Givi one is certainly sturdy, but in my experience a real PITA to fit!

    Suggestion fr a tail rack?

    Tapped out, I believe I am right in saying the Yamaha rack is cheaper, and definately easier to fit than the Givi. If you have non oem exhaust then the Givi is not for you. Well done on getting your wife out on the bike, mine won't ever consider it. An advantage some of the time but we...

    WTF is wrong with people!

    I watched Sky news this morning and wondered.... 5 Policemen killed, I presume from the state of it all or most in the one vehicle. The Cricket team coach sprayed with gunfire, driver killed others injured. It just seemed to me that this attack was to say ' See what we could do' rather...
