    For the bigger guys...the Kudos Duke

    Have you still got Dukes to sell Dave? I expect we will be out of the EU before you get rid of them all.

    new Yamaha pwx motor

    Yamaha might as well have called it the CX - that's what it is, extra torque and a bigger battery. Reminds me of the 70s when the Japanese were known for copying European cars and consumer goods. Nothing wrong with that, but it goes to show that in an ever changing world, some things never change.

    Coast to Coast

    A mate of mine did it in one hit on his push bike. He's fit enough to pull it off, but said it was a dreadful experience not least because one of the others dropped out half way due to lack of fitness. Prior to quitting, that rider had been holding the rest back and perhaps inevitably, there...

    Cube Reaction Hybrid Race 500

    I have studded ice tyres for one of my ebikes. They do an excellent job and keep me upright on sheet ice provided I only corner gently. Part of it is a confidence thing, this may sound daft but on studded tyres you can cycle on ice on which you would have trouble walking. Biggest problem is...

    Clacking noise - Kalkhoff Impulse 2 motor

    If your bike breaks it's not much comfort that 400,000 others are still going. No doubt if Nigel gets burgled he won't be bothered about it when he finds out the other 50 houses in his street weren't broken into.

    Insult to Democracy

    There was only two people interested in this pointless exchange, one has dropped out, which leaves only you. Alone, in your bunker....

    Insult to Democracy

    You've seen my posts on the matter, make of them what you will. Only in your mind have you proved this or proved that. All you've proved to me is that you have become completely obsessed with this topic. And as with any obsessive, it's not possible to hold a rational conversation with you...

    Insult to Democracy

    Yes, you do see. Whine away about being attacked, at least it's a change from your usual tiresome patter.

    Insult to Democracy

    If you think you've been aggressively attacked, you need to go out more. Probably a good idea anyway, your dozens if not hundreds of posts in these EU threads suggest someone who has become obsessed and is losing touch with reality. That reality could be found outside your front door.

    Insult to Democracy

    That's already been done by those who matter and a decision taken. There is no conflict of interest, so all that's left for the likes of you is to squeal about it and start stupid petitions on the internet. Happily, no one with half a brain, let alone a full one, takes any notice. Remove a...

    Insult to Democracy

    So May's husband is a successful businessman. He should be locked up for that, I say. Anyway, I thought you remain deniers wanted what's good for business. But look on the bright side, leaving will lead to the collapse of business which will mean May's husband will go skint.

    Insult to Democracy

    Our share of the 8.935 billion euro 'administrative expenses' won't be much of a miss from our budget when we leave.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Interesting how the words of our new Prime Minister are dismissed as meaningless political rhetoric, but Campbell's words are the gold-plated pronouncements of an elder statesman. The guy's entitled to his opinion, of course, but it's worth not a great deal more than yours or mine. It...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Is a Liberal Democrat has been a key voice? I assume that was an attempt at irony. Even 'has been' is pushing it a bit. Politically, Campbell is a 'never was and never will be'.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yet more conspiracy theory claptrap.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Bound to happen sooner or later. Here's another one - I picture Old Groaner as Hitler in his bunker, ranting and raving while no one listens.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Interesting that Siemens - who manufacture stuff in this country - has decided Brexit will not be the calamity predicted by Kudos Dave and KTM Col. Both of whom base their businesses on cheap labour abroad and a favourable exchange rate for importing. An economic climate which makes...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    All the stuff about uniting the country and giving people more say in their futures is rhetoric, not least because it's intangible. Saying we are going to make a success of Brexit leaves very little room to doubt what the intention is. The leave terms are bit beyond me, but I'm struggling to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Do the next nine words 'and we're going to make a success of it' make the meaning any clearer?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    My interpretation is the market is responding to some political stability.
