    Another left turn accident

    Oh, ouch. Good luck with your recovery and if the driver didn't report that, hopefully the polis will rake him over the coals.

    Well, while I was waiting in the supermarket queue this afternoon, a five-year-old was swinging on the separation barriers between the lanes. There was quite a hollow thud as his head hit the floor, and I coudn't help thinking that would put him off parallel bars for life. Just think, if he'd...

Ie, if parents take their kids out of school and the kids' education suffers (subject to proof of this), the people who fail to make the rules work so...

    New creation - and a question.

    That's the Conhismotor kit I got a couple of years ago. I first used a 10Ah battery, and it was ok, but I always took it easy with that, because I'd always intended for it to total 15Ah for full-on use. With that extra capacity, it flies along and nothing bothers it. 30+Amps is a breeze, from 6...

    Pro Connect Upgrade

    Always worthwhile replacing headstock bearings when it's apart, as they're so cheap that you'd be kicking yourself having to take it apart again when the re-used set gets worn out. They do get notched, sometimes just from a good pothole, once.
