With all those trees there will be branches everywhere soon. :D

Hi Andy, This is excellent news, not least (from a selfish perspective) because you are pretty close to me in Shrewsbury. May I add you to the Dealers, Suppliers and Repairers Map? Good luck with the business. You might also want to add a signature to your posts to explain who you are...

Don't be too sure - look at this

Or perhaps having a picnic two fields away when he loses it and tears up the embankment. And don't forget meteorites!

I'm looking to borrow this bad boy the next time out. :D

Philosophy teacher! :o

There is no situation in which even standing still is totally safe. One might get hit by some idiot coming the other way at 120mph for example. :D

Of course, and almost by definition, excessive speed is dangerous. Nobody has disputed that. The question raised is instead concerned partly with the relationship between speed and context, not with the issue of speed 'per se', partly with the extent to which parents can make decisions for...

Yep, those signals sure make it safe every time. I need to get me some. :D Not long ago, a police officer drove at 159mph down the M54, about ten miles away from me. See this link. The court aquitted him, concluding that he was not driving dangerously. Those who claim that travelling at...

Yes, sorry, I was using humour for rhetorical effect. I forgot that your world is black and white. In my case it wasn't illegal and it wasn't dangerous. Again, you do yourself no favours.

Not a 'boast' at all. It was done by me entirely legally and safely on a German autobahn and I wrote it to celebrate the fact that we still have some freedoms. Your blanket ad hominem attacks do not reflect well on you, by the way.

Back to topic and, yes, it is utterly absurd. Six months in prison for hurting precisely nobody? "Had you lost control. . . . " "If you had burst a tyre . . . " Both from the judge and pure speculation. From The Times: "Clinging to the back . . . " (Holding onto more like)...

Looks like it works, Helen! :D

Hi Michael, Great to have someone in Wales at last. Styx, Elephants Gerald, Silver Surfer and I have been the closest for a while now. Welcome aboard! :)

Absolutely brilliant Wai Won. I am really looking forward to your own report. It is so impressive to see someone who seems to live for electric bikes doing so in such a spectacular fashion and I hope that one day I will be able to join you on a similar journey. My own Torq 1 is still going...

Done . . . !

When I was 18 I had two bikes - a Yamaha 350LC and a Honda XL125. When the LC broke down I resurrected the XL but, unfortunately, the tax on the latter had run out. My naive solution was to transfer the disc from one to the other, reasoning that I had paid tax for one bike and was using one...

This is entirely true, though at the moment the average speed cameras are all front facing and therefore can be ignored with a big grin. :D Equally, except for the very latest ones, they are lane specific so even a car can avoid them by the simple expedient of changing lanes. Still, it is...

Been riding a motorbike since I was 16 and now have a Triumph Sprint ST 1050. For most of my life - at least until kids arrived 5 years ago - motorbikes were my only form of transport. I have ridden extensively throughout Europe with small incursions into Africa, thinking nothing of embarking...

Never mind 10000 miles, look how close Flecc is to 10000 posts - and still in show room condition! :)
