You didn’t reply to may main point that the cyclist might well have been at the junction before the truck arrived, and either was not seen or was forgotten about a few minutes later once she was in his blind spot. You have been assuming that all these women are riding up the inside of stopped...

Between Bath and Chippenham on the A 4 late at night after he missed the London train after a gig at the Colston Hall and took an Ace Taxis cab. The driver was going far too fast and lost control on a bend.

Someone should have told Eddie Cochran. Ace cab did for him.

I’m not sure it was irrelevant since it reflects on his character and driving record and might indicate that he was more culpable for the accident than the woman victim. We have no way of knowing if she rode up the inside of his stopped truck or was waiting to turn when the truck drove up and...

The thing about suspended sentences is that unlike probation the offender can and will be sent to prison to serve it if they commit another crime within the period of the suspension. As this bloke has been making a career out of it he may well get nabbed again and get sent down. It’s really a...

It’s being generated from all over Europe including the UK. When the weather systems are moving in the more usual direction towards the east they get ours on the Continent. London in particular generates a mass of low level ozone in warm high pressure weather which hangs about and moves only slowly.

Hello eastman. Do you have or are you planning to buy an e bike?

Take the electrics out and put in an old pre war JAP V twin and you could use it for wall of death at a fair. Or as above an old speedway bike.

It is upside down there.

Another reason to test ride. The Woosh I had cut out abruptly like hitting a wall at 25 kph, and the only way to make it bearable was to change it to the next possible speed which was 30 kph, or about 19 mph, and so illegal. I’ve grown used to the almost imperceptible cut out of the Kalkhoff at...

There was a thread here a couple of months ago where several people posted the speed their bikes cut out at. All the Kalkhoffs are the same at a little over 17 mph, which is the 25 kph plus the max 10% leeway. But a few other owners of different German bikes posted similar results too. So I...

You said he was doing a steady 16 mph and that was a little past your cut off. So does the Bosch cut out at exactly 15.5 mph in standard form then?

I’ve ridden my Kalkhoff in heavy rain and been soaked to the skin when I got cought out. The bike was fine.

Saw this today. http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/apr/07/aluminium-battery-can-charge-phone-in-one-minute-scientists-say Is this a prospect?

Seems to me that the law operates in a utilitarian way in matters like this rather than in any way that Kant might approve of. But the modern world is a very utilitarian place and IMO all the followers of Jeremy Bentham can get stuffed too.

I had a 124 Special T once. Nice little twin cam that revved like a sewing machine and a tight good handling car. Sills went when it was only three years old though. Had a diesel Uno once for a bit too and that was a dog.

Isn’t motorbike parking still free in central London? I always used to park for nothing. Then there are always lights on pavements. A copper gave me a ticket for parking on some once and would not accept that they were not part of the pavement. But I got it overturned.

I would add the Kalkhoff Pro Connect 9 which is good value and well road equipped. The Impulse 11 is powerful and the motor interrupt feature for gear changes works well.
