    New build internal wiring

    Head gear

    Nether did I, and continued with out one on scooters and motor bikes (as was the norm in the 60's) ... till 2 friends died, which kinda changed my mind. Life is short enough as it is, with out letting an accident make it even shorter.. and I'm sure Lawrence of Arabia would agree. Its freedom...

    Woosh Zephyr CD, review anyone?

    There is a rumor (just started now) that not only will it be a review but there will also a direct head to head comparison with real time graphs against a couple of 20" folder conversions. Will it be good enough ?

    What do controller and motor ratings actually mean

    One Rule for Us another for the Police?

    Re the trip .. The full circumstances will I suppose eventually come to light. My take is that any property owner has a duty of care to protect the public that are lawfully (and for some strange reason unlawfully :rolleyes:) on their premises, I don't see any reason why a police officer...
