    Brexit, for once some facts.

    imagine BJ calls an election shortly after WTO brexit. He would stand a good chance against JC. We'll end up living under tory rule for another 5 years, until 2024.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    be a real MP is too much work, that wouldn't suit Sir Nigel. Better be a member of the upper house, £300 a day + expenses when you like. No need to run your surgery. Apparently, some leave the taxi meter on, run in, sign then run out to the waiting taxi.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    until the next general election, BJ (or Raab) has to get back those conservative voters who lent their vote to Farage in the 2014 EP election and now, in 2019. He's not going to do that by having a deal before the next general election.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I fear we'll have no deal brexit for a while. BJ won't be able to do a deal before November. He may as well let the deadline lapse, then say oops! sorry, but we are out! Half the country will applaud him for resisting parliament. He then starts serious negotiation with the EU, telling them not...

    DIY Mechanical Dongle

    to be fair, flecc did make me think about adding some explanation to my website about the difference in legal status of the throttle, if fitted pre purchase or post purchase* and the grey area which is how long you can rest your legs before being accused of flouting the law by using the...

    DIY Mechanical Dongle

    anyone can get an SVA for the throttle if they feel wanting to pay the £55 fees. So on what basis a bike is illegal before paying £55 fee?

    DIY Mechanical Dongle

    that's another point I disputed in some other threads. The 2016 law only bans twist and go throttle. Although the police aren't interested, that opens the door to interpretation and discussion on this forum. If the bike requires you to pedal first before the throttle is activated, it is not a...

    DIY Mechanical Dongle

    flecc made the point that if the bike is too easy to derestrict (ie without a dongle) then it's a technical breach. My contention is that there is no such specifications in the EN15194. If there is, then the dongles will disappear.

    about technical breaches: if the specifications of EN15194 include measures to stop tampering with the speed measurement, the dongles will disappear. There is a white paper at present, but not yet approved by the Commission. RVFSR – Annex XVIII Maximum continuous rated and/or vehicle speed...
